	In 1.19, due to the complete replacement of the <code>BiomeLoadingEvent</code> with Biome Modifiers, ore generation in particular has been reworked. There are also balancing changes compared to 1.18.2. For example, in 1.19-0.3 versions, Bauxite is typically more common than Cinnabar.		This page covers Voluminous Energy's feature generation for '''1.19, 1.19.1 and 1.19.2''', in both the '''0.3''' and '''0.4''' trains (the world generation data is identical in both). In 1.19, due to the complete replacement of the <code>BiomeLoadingEvent</code> with Biome Modifiers, ore generation in particular has been reworked. There are also balancing changes compared to 1.18.2. For example, in 1.19-0.3 versions, Bauxite is typically more common than Cinnabar.

			1.19 continued to revamp how features work, increasingly making the system more dynamic and data-driven.

			=== Biome modifiers ===
	Biome Modifiers are a Forge-specific technology that is data-driven and can be used to circumvent registering <code>PlacedFeatures</code>. Because these are data-driven, they cannot be defined programmatically (aside from data generation, "datagen") as they are built into the JAR file as JSON files. Therefore, they are not configurable from the configuration toml file. To modify these, you must use a mod that can modify Biome Modifiers or datapack-style JSONs.

			=== Biome data changes ===
			The <code>BiomeCategory</code> enum has been removed in 1.19. While not surprising, it did mean that a lot of the biome filtering/selection code would have to be reworked when porting from 1.18. Tags are now used heavily to determine the type of biome that a feature should appear in. This should also improve the integration of features into modded biomes, assuming that the modded biomes are tagged correctly.

			Voluminous Energy uses the aforementioned Biome Modifiers with a custom one called <code>[https://github.com/MikeTheShadow/VoluminousEnergy/blob/1.19-exp/src/main/java/com/veteam/voluminousenergy/world/modifiers/VEAndedMultiBiomeModifier.java VEAndedMultiBiomeModifier]</code>, which has its own system for reading provided biome tags (whitelisted and blacklisted) and comparing those to a biome when it's loaded to determine whether or not a feature should be added to the biome.

In 1.19, due to the complete replacement of the <code>BiomeLoadingEvent</code> with Biome Modifiers, ore generation in particular has been reworked. There are also balancing changes compared to 1.18.2. For example, in 1.19-0.3 versions, Bauxite is typically more common than Cinnabar.

== Technical background ==
Biome Modifiers are a Forge-specific technology that is data-driven and can be used to circumvent registering <code>PlacedFeatures</code>. Because these are data-driven, they cannot be defined programmatically (aside from data generation, "datagen") as they are built into the JAR file as JSON files. Therefore, they are not configurable from the configuration toml file. To modify these, you must use a mod that can modify Biome Modifiers or datapack-style JSONs.

For 1.19 you can see the specific biome modifiers that add features [https://github.com/MikeTheShadow/VoluminousEnergy/tree/1.19-exp/src/main/resources/data/voluminousenergy/forge/biome_modifier here].

== Ore blob features ==
As per vanilla/Mojmaps terminology, 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.

Like vanilla, Voluminous Energy starting with 1.19 releases use multiple features for ores to spawn in ore blobs into the world. This allows the ore blobs to be more common in certain areas and provides the mod developers with finer grain control compared to broad single entries. For example, the same chance level for a smaller anchored range will appear to the player as more common as it's spread out across fewer Y-levels regardless of being spawned uniformly or triangularly.

Below is a table summary of Biome Modifier entries to add Voluminous Energy ore blob features into the world.
