Ores, Dirt, Gravel, Andesite, Diorite, and Granite only generate down to y= -4 and do not generate any lower.
To reproduce:
1. Generate a new world with "Caves and Cliffs Features" enabled
2. Run the following command to explore down to y= - 64:
/fill ~-1 -63 ~-1 ~1 ~ ~1 air
3. Observe that no solid blocks generate besides Stone.
Admittedly, this may be a place-holder rather than a bug, because the Deepslate generation features haven't been added yet.

There is a issue with the new generation below Y = 0. When I got down all the way to Y = 0 or below, it only generates stone and specific ores.

No mineral or anything is generated in the negative layers or mobs either

This is definitely a bug I've noticed lush caves get split in half after -4. Lush caves are fine above -4 but then they become only stone below -4.
there are two similar, but different issues this one deal's with ore's failing to generate below y=0 witch is not an issue I have. the issue I do have is deepsslate dose not generate below y=0. If deepslate is generating between 3/-3 that is the issue deepslate dose not generate below y=0. if youe issue is ores stop at y=0 then your in the right place! that is not the issue for me so I am going to where my issue dose exist at: MCPE-125117
The issue linked above is deepslate dose not generate below y=0 but only between y=3-y=-3 and only rarely witch is my issue. if that is your issue please leave this ore issue, and join this one. if both are issues for you be sure to follow both.
Happens on the recent 1.17.10 caves and cliffs experimental feature. Everything below y=0 is stone, along with some ores, but no deepslate. Deepslate generates somewhere around y=0, but it doesn't go lower.
In version 1.17.41 and above, ores can be generated below 0. Gravel will start to generate below 0 in minecraft 1.18.0 MCPE-144080
Diorite and Granite and Dirt and Andesite can no longer be generated below Y = 0 and this is intentional.
See:
Exception: Diorite and Granite and Dirt no longer generate below y =0

Andesite no longer generates under y=0

Update: As of 1.16.230.56, ores now generate correctly below y=-4! Blobs of Granite, Andesite, Diorite, Dirt, Gravel, and Deepslate also generate at their appropriate y-levels.
However, only Stone and Stone Ores generate below y=-4. Layers below y=-4 should be composed of Deepslate interspersed Deepslate Ores, and Tuff blobs. Tuff blobs also aren't generating from y=0 to y= 16 (because Tuff hasn't been added yet.)
