Mining world

Hello world members, i am happy to introduce new mining world to you.
It is a world where all minecraft rules (not hpcraft rules) are different from what you have known or learned. You will certainly have to change your behavior over there. I dont want to spoil many things but let me show you a little list:
Features

• More mining, less building (sea level is a "little" higher)
• Minecraft day has never been such an adventure (Dont forget to bring your sword)
• Dig Dig Dig, but where? (You will have to find out where to find which ores)
• Dig Dig dig, over there! (I know you love exploring caves)

I wish you happy exploring, but i would also like to ask you one thing:
Putting in ore was the hardest part of this as i did not know how many to put in. Because of that i would like to ask all world members and trusted members who spend lot of time digging there to give me some feedback.
I need to know this stuff and thank you for posting your reply.

• Overally, how hard was finding some ore.
• How hard was finding some specific ore.
• Size of mineral veins (too small, too big?) per ore.
• Any other info you might want to provide or say about the mining world

Just out of curiosity : how did you create this world? Is it a world generation plugin?

I hope you made diamond vains OVER 9000!!!!

From what I heard, I believe they made it themselves.

Yes we made it as part of hpmcore (just like flatland generator for freebuild). Main problem is that there is no way to get original Notch´s generator. We had to make it all from scratch (starting with terrain and (not) endind with mineral veins).
We will let you know when is the world opened and how to access it (propably the same way you go to free world).

Just remember to empty all you chests in free world as they will be gone.

Mining world is now accessible through gateroom.
Please provide us some feedback and feel free to claim new /goodie

Alright, after the server crash you can get a /goodie again.

I'm not sure how the ore veins are placed, so correct me if anything. But I have a suggestion. I do not know how difficult it would be to do so i'm just going to suggest it anyways. So my idea was that if ores are scattered across the map randomly, it's fine, but boring and difficult too (I've been mining a bit and found very little). So what i have as an idea would be that ores should be placed so that there are areas which are scarce in certain ores and areas where there are large concentration of ores. As an example, imagine 5X5 chunk areas. So lets say the map has 20 of these.

• 3 of them would have 0 - 3 diamond veins in them
• 7 of them would have 4 - 5 diamond veins in them
• 8 of them would have 10-20 diamond veins in them
  And the motherload :
• 2 of these (which would be 50 chunks in total, or 25 in each area) would have 40 - 50 diamond veins in each (so around 2 per chunk)

This in turn makes mining more fun and makes it actually possible to find THE BEST mining area, so saying "i found lots of diamond here" would actually have some sort of value.

This is only a suggestion, take it or leave it. If anybody would like to improve this to their liking or change values and such to make it fair, then feel free to do so.

I think the mining world is amazing!!! Really sad about the crash though its ok though because I found enough ores to make up for it . I don't know what is better, the variety, group mining, the CAVES... This has been the best time I have had on Minecraft yet. Great Job with everything guys!

Really awesome work kyborek! The world generation is so good. My one complaint is that ores are SO scarce the further down you go to hell. By this I mean in digging down to bedrock, after you go completely into hell, at about level 30 - 10, there are almost NO ores. And when there are ores it is difficult to find veins of more than 2. Other than that I love it and the awesome idea to have obsidian in parts of the top layer of bedrock which leads to lava and riches
