Nether ores (e.g., ancient debris, nether quartz) currently use hardcoded generation rules in Bedrock Edition, even though the engine fully supports data-driven feature generation through stable behavior pack APIs. This limitation forces marketplace content creators to work around inflexible systems instead of using standardized JSON-based feature definitions.
How to Reproduce:
Inspect
definitions/features
anddefinitions/feature_rules
foldersNote the absence of JSON files for nether ore generation
Compare with overworld ore generation which uses proper data-driven systems
Observed Result:
No data-driven feature rules exist for nether ores
All nether ore generation controlled by engine hardcoding
Marketplace packs cannot modify ore generation through standard systems
Expected Result:
Nether ore generation should use data-driven feature rules like overworld ores, with proper definitions in:
definitions/features/netherxxx
definitions/feature_rules/netherxxx
