 It's very useful to maintain control over localized deposits of ores in the same way that it's important to maintain control over your biome. Keeping other groups of players out of ore deposits gives your community trade leverage to be able to import much needed crops and blocks from other biomes.

	= ~~Ores~~ =		==Map Generation==
	~~Ores do not spawn like they do~~ in ~~vanilla, they~~ are ~~much much rarer. Caves will RARELY have ores exposed. Ores are scattered by default and~~ will ~~require extensive strip mining~~ to ~~find. However~~, ~~localized deposits exist in specific areas where ore spawn in veins (which are interspersed~~ with ~~"vein" blocks such as blackstone~~ and ~~smooth basalt)~~ and are easier to find. There are above ground hints that will tell players where these localized deposits of ores are. Look for rock formations that have high counts of "hint" blocks (described in the table below) to figure out where to go looking! Make sure to mine out a decent area around where you ~~found an ore~~ to ~~follow the vein until its exhausted~~.		===Custom Map===
			This civ has an entirely custom made map. It is 5kx5k blocks in size and other dimensions are entirely disabled
			Features of the map will be intentionally similar to vanilla, but with redesigned and carefully placed biomes, unique topographical features, and resource distribution unlike what you may be used to.

	~~Coal Sheets~~ generate in a similar ~~way but instead~~ of ~~winding~~ veins ~~they spawn~~ in large ~~flat sheets~~ at the same Y-~~Level~~. ~~They can~~ be ~~followed much easier then typical~~ veins.		===Ore Veins===
	~~[[File:Vein Example~~.~~png\|thumb\|Example~~ of ~~how Veins are generated~~.]]		Instead of ores generating in small, random clusters throughout the world, they only generate in large sprawling veins with a few exceptions.

			Iron, copper, and gold veins all generate in large 3D veins, similar to how large ore veins work in vanilla Minecraft. Coal spawns in flat 2D sheets, while diamonds spawn in large spherical nodes. For all of these veins, the ores are mixed in with a large amount of “vein blocks” that comprise the main structure of the vein.

			All veins of the same ore type spawn at roughly the same y-level underground, with the exception of Mesa gold veins which spawn higher up than non-Mesa gold veins. Amethyst and quartz spawn in geodes, with quartz geodes spawning exclusively above y = 0. Fossils made of bone blocks spawn on the surface and the underground of the desert.

			Additionally, there are cave systems underneath the map that tend to be around the height of nearby veins, so exploring caves may assist in finding veins.

			Any ores that are not mentioned are not present in the map. That means there’s no redstone, no lapis, and no emeralds.

			To find veins, “hint blocks” will spawn above-ground that indicate the presence of an ore vein nearby underground. This does NOT mean the vein will be located directly beneath the hint block:
