I spent a few long hours searching and looking around at the new generation. Wanting to start my new singleplayer world but in 1.18, I checked things out but have not in that time found any ore veins.. I am not sure if they are more hidden from open cave walls.. As far as I have seen, digging around in a ton of these, none of them are spawning ore veins.
No images to display as all I am seeing are blobs of Granite and Tuff…

But I searched for hours and was unable to find any exposed iron ore and raw iron ore blocks… Even searched above y=0 for the Copper/Raw Copper Blocks/Granite.. But they aren’t generating.. I recommend commenting only when you have tried the Java version, and having terrain generated by the new prerelease 1, and not the Caves and Cliffs Data Pack.
Hey, it may be connected to this: MC-241245
Definitely developers should look at that. Try to use X-Ray datapack (one for 1.17 works) & spectator mode to find some of these in random world seed. Also try to use badlands-only world for 21w44a AND 118-pre. l'm sure in the same world seed you could find a location where iron vein present in 21w44a (because no deepslate in badlands), but not 118-pre.
Can confirm it!
They are more hidden with Cave Walls. You can possibly find Raw Iron Blocks from Deepslate Iron Ore and Tuff below Y=0.
Granite/Copper? Cant help with that there. Haven't found those yet.
