Better Emerald Generation (BEG!)
A mod that makes emerald ores biome independent, to make it worth going mining for them.
About this Mod
This mod changes the ore generation of emerald ore, so it actually feels worth it, if you decide to go mining for them.
Generation
Emeralds now generate everywhere, from height -64 to 0.
And 3 times as much at height 80 to 160.
Extra Emeralds
This also keeps the vanilla generation, so you can find extra emeralds in mountain or windswept biomes.
