An '''ore'''<ref>{{snap|20w45a}}</ref><ref>{{snap|21w13a}}</ref><ref>{{Mcnet|minecraft-changelog-1-17-0-50|Minecraft Changelog 1.17.0.50}}</ref> is a [[Minecraft:feature]] consisting of a natural deposit of [[Minecraft:ore]]s or other blocks in the ground.

== Generation ==
The ore feature has two types: '''ore blobs''' and '''scatter ores'''.

An '''ore blob''' is an ellipsoidal cluster of blocks. In the overworld, underground deposits of [[Minecraft:dirt]] and [[Minecraft:gravel]] are generated in this form, followed by the more precious ores, like [[Minecraft:coal]], [[Minecraft:copper]], [[Minecraft:iron]], [[Minecraft:gold]], [[Minecraft:redstone]], [[Minecraft:diamond]], [[Minecraft:emerald]] (in mountains biomes), and [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli]]. They can form only in stone, deepslate, [[Minecraft:andesite]], [[Minecraft:diorite]], [[Minecraft:granite]], and [[Minecraft:tuff]]{{only|java|short=1}} (also in their polished variants {{in|be}}, replacing parts of structures). Two or more ores can form next to each other and appear as an ore made of more than one material.

Each ore blob has a '''spawn size'''. The maximum number of generated blocks in a blob each spawn size corresponds to is shown in the table below:{{note|This table is based on {{el|java}}.}}

A '''scatter ore''' is a slightly dispersed cluster of blocks. Currently only ancient debris is generated in this form. Scatter ores also have a '''spawn size''' value. The maximum number of generated blocks in a scatter ore is just the spawn size.

There was also a deprecated ore type, which generates only one block in each generation attempt. It was used by emerald ore before 1.18.

=== Config ===

{{main|Configured feature}}
{{el|java}}:
<section begin="config"/><div class="treeview">
* {{nbt|compound|config}}
** {{nbt|int|size}} Value between 0 and 64 (inclusive). Determines the size of the ore vein. Further details on the relationship between 'size' and the actual number of blocks comprising the ore vein is available [[Minecraft:Ore (feature)#Generation|here]].
** {{nbt|float|discard_chance_on_air_exposure}} Value between 0 and 1 (inclusive). The chance for the entire ore vein to be discarded if any constituent block is adjacent to an air block. Other non-solid blocks such as water do not count.
** {{nbt|list|targets}} (required, but can be empty) A list of targets.
*** {{nbt|compound}} A target.
**** {{nbt|compound|target}} A [[Minecraft:Processor list#Rule test| rule test]] to check the block to replace.
**** {{nbt|compound|state}} The block to use.
***** {{nbt inherit/block_state}}
</div>

Note that ore features (if allowed to generate in air) will not generate without a solid block nearby to act as the starting point. The ore feature does not necessarily have to intersect with this point, but the required distance does seem to scale with the ore size.<section end="config"/>
