    I'm looking to add tin to the game for a project I'm working on. How would I go about modifying the files so that tin appears? I don't want to remove any of the old ores, but I can if I have to. Apologies if this has been asked before, but the search function yielded nothing.

    as far as i can tell you should beable to edit the ores look with a paint program i use paint shop pro 9 save as neworesname.pgn (or whatever it is) as for adding it you will have to put a recipe in the stonefurnice to smelt if you go about it that way or add it to crafting table im in the prossess of making a dark matter mod with armor an ores little more work then i was expecting

    assets/biomes/oredistrubtions 1 of them should have the answer.

    I've got a mod that's doing just that, here take a look trough the files (especially biomes/oredistribution.configfunctions) It might give you an idea how it works.

    Thanks, you're awesome. I'll take a look, should be helpful. I took a look at oredistribution.configfunctions last night, and this was about my reaction: http://imgur.com/RgwOuPH

    I've been working on one myself but my ore keeps turning in to a"Perfectly Generic Item". :fireball:

    Nevermind, I has a dumb, I had the wrong name for the ore drop. :oops:
