[1.18 / SUGGESTION] Solid ore generation.

[KKotik]

Suggestion for 1.18 version of the mod to have new option to create solid ore generation.
As 1.18 new ore generation changes the ore distribution is much more different and have air expisive and solid ores. With that option at could be good to add ore generation in places without air exposive to make additional pool rewarding player for strip mining. It could generate very similar to the netherite in the nether.

As for OSV I suggest that feature to have additional config options to regular presets:

• Solid: [true, false]

Hey, @KKotik I may have to decline this issue specifically, as I don't think it's possible. I tried to implement this feature already for 7.0 and realized that, in order to confirm whether there is or isn't air, I need to check outside of the current chunk, which may not exist yet.

In other words, it's only possible for very small clusters (size < 8). We would have to spawn the entire cluster in the current chunk only, Any thoughts?

[KKotik]

To be true I really don't like that concept too than other things that I posted. As I think this bring a lot of inconsistancy and misunderstanding how ores are generating and what's the better way to obtain them. Just thought and suggest that ONLY because it is existing in vanilla, but if it is headache I support to drop it and not waste time on really hard and almost impossible things, better to focus on more motivating features!

So it is up to you to close it, I just agree on that with you. ;)

@KKotik I can still do this for small veins. Would that be worth it? They would have to be pretty small, though.

I guess it's not worth it, I guess this is should be reconsidered if people will ask for that actually and be warned that this will work not like that they expect it to work.
