Ores are found in '''shallow''' deposits and '''deep''' deposits. The tables below provide information about disc generation for each ore type. | Ores are found in '''shallow''' deposits and '''deep''' deposits. The tables below provide information about disc generation for each ore type. | ||
* '''Y min''' and '''Y max''': Ores are distributed throughout the range given by these values. The Y values reflect proportions of the ore's specific generator, i.e. if a deposit uses the sea level generator, then 0.5 is half the world's sea level. | * '''Y min''' and '''Y max''': Ores are distributed throughout the range given by these values, where 0 is the base of the world and 1 is the highest possible block. The Y values reflect proportions of the ore's specific generator, i.e. if a deposit uses the sea level generator, then 0.5 is half the world's sea level and 1 is one block above sea level. | ||
:: For example, on a default 256-block high world, an ore with a Y range of 0 - 0.85 using the "anywhere" disc generator can spawn anywhere between 0 - 218 blocks up (rounding to the nearest whole block). Therefore, a player would have to dig down around 40 blocks before getting a chance of finding that ore. | :: For example, on a default 256-block high world, an ore with a Y range of 0 - 0.85 using the "anywhere" disc generator can spawn anywhere between 0 - 218 blocks up (rounding to the nearest whole block).

* '''Average radius''': the average width of the deposit along the X and Z coordinates. The variation is included with the ± symbol. An ore with an average radius of 8 ± 2 means that it can have a radius of 6 - 10 blocks. | * '''Average radius''': the average width of the deposit along the X and Z coordinates.
