			Up to 1.18.2, the values are defaults from the common config file (<code>voluminousenergy-common.toml</code>) and can be changed there. From 1.19 onwards they are data-driven JSON files, which can be overridden with a datapack.
⚫	== Crude Oil features ==
	[[Crude Oil]] is a common raw liquid fuel available in Voluminous Energy. Crude Oil features include large [[Crude Oil geyser\|Crude Oil geysers]] and [[Crude Oil lake\|Crude Oil lakes]]. Lakes spawn both on the surface and underground, which count as two different placement types in 1.18+ to ensure they spawn somewhat commonly on the surface.

	Ore resources are available through a few different types of features available in the world. The most conventional is ore blobs, but Voluminous Energy also adds a new kind of feature called Ore Deposits which are rich in ore resources but spawn far less frequently than ore blobs.		Ore resources are available through a few different types of features available in the world. The most conventional is ore blobs, but Voluminous Energy also adds a new kind of feature called Ore Deposits, which are rich in ore resources but spawn far less frequently than ore blobs.

	=== Ore blobs ===		=== Ore blobs ===
	An ore blob is a clustering of an ore block combined into a feature for world generation. ~~Veins~~ are not features ~~and are~~ part of ~~the~~ chunk generator and were introduced in 1.~~17.1~~.		An ore blob is a clustering of an ore block combined into a feature for world generation. Ore veins are different: they are not features but part of vanilla's chunk generator, and were introduced in Minecraft 1.18.

	Like vanilla, Voluminous Energy has ore blob features as a way to get ore resources in the world.		Like vanilla, Voluminous Energy has ore blob features as a way to get ore resources in the world. Since 1.19, Bauxite and Cinnabar also have extra blobs in mountains and on shores (beaches before 0.5).

	=== Ore deposits ===		=== Ore deposits ===
	Ore deposits are substantial groupings of an ore resource. The centre of an ore deposit will contain no stone and contain the raw block of the resource. The outside of the deposit usually contains the regular ore block as the world transitions to stone. If exposed to air, the ore blocks may not spawn but the raw blocks will.		Ore deposits (added in 1.18.1) are substantial groupings of an ore resource. The centre of an ore deposit will contain no stone and contain the raw block of the resource. The outside of the deposit usually contains the regular ore block as the world transitions to stone. If exposed to air, the ore blocks may not spawn but the raw blocks will. As well as Voluminous Energy's ores, there are deposits of vanilla Copper, Iron and Gold.

			In 26.2, Cinnabar deposits have vanilla's new Cinnabar block at their core.

		⚫	== Crude Oil and Natural Gas features ==
			[[Crude Oil]] is a common raw liquid fuel available in Voluminous Energy.
			* '''[[Crude Oil lake\|Crude Oil lakes]]''' spawn both on the surface and underground. These count as two different placement types in 1.17.1+, which ensures that they spawn somewhat commonly on the surface. Since 0.5 Alpha 2, surface lakes are ringed with bituminous blocks, and underground lakes are sealed pockets completely filled with oil.
			* '''[[Crude Oil geyser\|Crude Oil geysers]]''' are tall, tapering columns of Crude Oil (up to 136 blocks) with a stem reaching down underground.
			* '''[[Petroleum reservoir\|Petroleum reservoirs]]''' (0.5 Alpha 2+) are large aquifer-like bodies of Crude Oil or [[Natural Gas]] deep underground, sealed by Bituminous Sand, Red Sand or Gravel.
			* '''[[Petroleum reservoir#Petroleum caves\|Petroleum caves]]''' (0.5 Alpha 2+) are small cave systems completely filled with Crude Oil or Natural Gas.

			== Rice ==
			[[Rice]] (1.16.5-0.2 and later) generates on top of water in most non-ocean Overworld biomes. A rice plant is only placed where there is water directly below an empty block.
