The bug
Don't know if this is WAI, but I'm basing this report on the image that Mojang provided about ore generation, which shows that iron, emerald and coal ores generate up until Y=256. But upon testing, these ores can be found way above this number.
How to reproduce
Create an Amplified world
Run:
/locatebiome minecraft:mountains and teleport to themUpon exploring a little bit, you'll see that some ores generated in Y=280 or similar

I have to disagree with that because:
+The graph scale goes up until 320, but the space between 256 and 320 is not used to represent any kind of ore generation.
+If the distribution did continue upwards, mojang would've probably explicitly stated it to avoid misinterpretation of the graphs.
in the meantime, i've attached the graph to this report for easier comparison.
From how I understand it, these graphs are just cropped at 256, while the actual distribution continues upwards. They're triangular distributions in both directions (up and down).
