Ore Generation in 1.20: A New World

In the 1.20: A New World Update, Ore was revamped once again. Since the height and depth limit were both increased, the developers had to change how ore generates inside the game.
* This is for a fan-made update and not for real information. Do not spam FAKE in the comments.
== Coal ==
Coal Ore- Attempts to Generate Thrice- Once in a triangular distribution from y112 to y484, peaking at y424. (Largest Amount) Second in a Triangular Distribution from y24 to y124, peaking at y84. (Medium Amount) Third in a Linear Distribution from y8 to y512. (Very Small Amount)
*Generates in much larger blobs in Lush Caves
*Generates less likely in Mesa Biomes above y0.
*Has decreased air exposure
*Generates in Blobs of 12-40, or 5-10 when exposed to air, or 15-50 in Lush Caves, or 8-16 when exposed to air in Lush Caves.
*Blobs of Frozen Coal Ore can generate moderately common in Glaciers in blobs of 1. 
The best place to find coal is in a Lush Caves Biome at y84.
== Iron ==
Iron Ore- Attempt to Generate Thrice- Once in a triangular distribution from y96 to y412, peaking at y128. (Largest Amount) Second in a triangular distribution from y64 to y-64, peaking at y0. (Medium Amount) Third in a Linear Distribution from y256 to y-196 (Smallest Amount)
*Iron Ore Veins can generate from y-16 to y-96 as Tuff 
*Will Not Generate in Mesa Biomes above y0.
*Generates in Blobs of 6-16.
The best place to find Iron is in any biome besides the Mesa at y128.
== Copper Ore ==
Copper Ore- Attempts to Generate Twice- Once in a triangular distribution from y128 to y32, peaking at y64. (Largest Amount) Second in a linear distribution from y100 to y64 (Smaller Amount)
*Copper Ore Veins can generate from y16 to y96 as Granite Copper Ore.
*Copper will generate much more often in Dripstone Caves as Dripstone Copper Ore and much less often in Mesa Biomes above y0.
*Copper has increased air exposure.
*Generates in Blobs of 6-16, or 8-20 when exposed to air.
The best place to find Copper Ore is at y64 in a Dripstone Caves Biome that is not in a Mesa.
== Oil ==
Oil- Attempts to Generate Once- from y64 to y32 in Dripstone Caves, peaking at y48. (Very Large Amount)
*Only generates in Dripstone Caves
*Generates in Blobs of 15-30
*Twice as Likely to generate in a Mesa, Desert, or Savannah Biome.
The best place to find Oil is at y48 in a Dripstone Caves Biome in a Savannah or Desert.
== Tin Ore ==
Tin Ore- Attempts to Generate Thrice- in a Triangular Distribution from y256 to y512 peaking at y412 (Only in Mountain Biomes) (Smaller Amount) and in a Linear DIstribution from y84 to y32 (Only in Oceans and Mountains) (Smallest Amount) and in a Linear Distribution from y-64 to y64 in Oceans Only, with increased air exposure. (larger amount)
*Tin Ore can also generate exposed to Rivers and Groundwater at any y-level, replacing Gravel in Rivers.
*Unless it generates in the former case, it will only spawn in Mountain and Ocean Biomes.
*Tin can also generate in Mesa Peaks or Mesa Highlands as Terracotta Tin Ore, though less often.
*Tin has increased air exposure.
*Generates in Blobs of 2-8, or 6-16 when exposed to air. Can Generate in Blobs of 20-64 in Rivers, depending on the size of the Gravel Blob. Only generates in a blob the size of a single block in Groundwater, though this can happen very often, creating numerous miniblobs.
The best place to find Tin Ore is in Rivers. The next best place is in Mountain Biomes at around y384 (going higher means less opportunity for it to generate even if it does generate more)
== Gold Ore ==
Gold- Attempts to Generate Four Times- in a triangular distribution from y256 to y0, peaking at y184. (Extremely Large Amount, only in Mesas) in a linear distribution from y512 to y-256. (Large Amount, only in Mesas), in a triangular distribution from y32 to y-128, peaking at y-40. (Small Amount) in a linear distribution from y0 to y-184 (Very Small Amount)
*Gold Ore Veins can generate between y120 and y0 in Mesas as Terracotta Gold Ore.
*Gold will generate much more often in Mesa Biomes.
*Has decreased air exposure, except in Mesas, where it has increased air exposure.
*Appear as Terracotta Gold Ore in Mesas.
*Generates in Blobs of 1-4, or 5-20 in Mesas, or 10-25 in Mesas when exposed to Air, or 1-2 when exposed to air in any other biome.
The Best Place to find Gold Ore is at y184 in Mesa Biomes.
== Lapis Lazuli Ore ==
Lapis Lazuli Ore- Attempts to Generate Thrice, in a triangular distribution from y20 to y-24, peaking at y2, (Small Amount) and in a linear distribution from y0 to y-256, (Extremely Small Amount) or in a triangular distribution from y200 to y32, peaking at y112 (Large Amount, only in Blizzard Tunnels)
*Has decreased air exposure.
*Does Not Generate in Mesas above y0.
*Generates in Blobs of 4-8.
The best place to find Lapis Lazuli Ore is in the Blizzard Tunnels at y112.
== Redstone Ore ==
Redstone Ore- Attempts to Generate Twice, in a triangular distribution from y0 to y-196, peaking at y-184 (Very Large Amount) and in a linear distribution from y16 to y-256. (Very Small Amount)
*Does Not Generate in Mesas above y0.
*Generates in Blobs of 2-3
The Best Place to find Redstone Ore is at any cave biome at y-184.
== Emerald Ore ==
Emerald Ore- Attempts to Generate Once, in a Triangular distribution from y96 to y512, peaking at y512 (Small Amount, only in Mountain Biomes/Snowy Slopes)
*Only generates in Mountain Biomes, or in the Snowy Slopes subbiome.
*Has decreased air exposure.
*Generates in blobs of 1-4, or blobs of 1 when exposed to air.
The Best Place to find Emerald Ore is in Mountain Biomes at around y360 (going higher means less places for it to generate)
== Diamond Ore ==
Diamond Ore- Attempts to Generate Thrice, in a triangular distribution from y-184 to y-256, peaking at y-256, (Small Amount) in a linear distribution from y0 to y-256, (Extremely Small Amount) in a triangular distribution from y-256 to y16, peaking at y-256. (Medium Amount, only in Lava Grottos)
*Does not generate in Mesas above y0.
*Has decreased air exposure, but increased lava exposure.
*Commonly found in the Lava Grottos.
*Generates as Bone Diamond Ore in Fossils and Large Fossils in Blobs of 1.
*Generates in blobs of 1-10, or blobs of 1 when exposed to air, or blobs of 3-16 when exposed to lava, or blobs of 2-12 in Lava Grottos, or blobs of 1-6 when exposed to air in Lava Grottos, or blobs of 4-24 when exposed to Lava in Lava Grottos.
*Generates much less often now to make up for the larger blob sizes.
The Best Place to find Diamond Ore is at y-256 in a Lava Grottos Biome. Interestingly, if by world edits, Lava Grottos generate at a y-level above y16, diamonds will generate there in astronomically high rates, as shown on the graph.
