Welcome to the site of a ho4yo3! :D

I only have a vague idea of what I want to put here. For now, I'm just gonna dump stuff on this page, and have fun sorting it out later!

I tried to make this page responsive without being too futuristic. It also has a dark/light mode depending on your system preferences!

Ore distribution

The ideal height to dig at for ore in the Overworld, as of version 1.18.2:

Ore y-level Effective range1
Emerald2 87 68 to 107
Coal 45 17 to 67
Copper 44 2 to 61
Iron 14 -9 to 36
Lapis Lazuli -2 -23 to 20
Gold -18 -40 to 3
Gold (lower) -51-59 to -49
Redstone -59-59 to 12
Diamond -59 -59 to -7

The ideal height to dig at for ore in the Nether, as of version 1.18.2:

Ore y-level Effective range1
Nether Quartz 114 111 to 115
Nether Gold 114 111 to 115
Ancient Debris 16 14 to 18
Nether Quartz (lower) 10 9 to 21
Nether Gold (lower) 10 9 to 21

[1] "Effective range" i.e. ore may appear outside of this range, but it's at such a small quantity that it's not worth searching for. I chose these ranges by eye-balling the charts bwl

[2] Appeaers in such small quantities that your time would be better served making some sort of farm for villagers bwl

Ore distribution charts for Minecraft 1.18.2. Figure A is total amount of ore per y-level. Figure B is total amount of ore per y-level, on a log scale. Figure C is fraction of ore blocks neglecting non-solid and decorative blocks.

Quotes

idk there's something about these quotes that fills me with a certain... something feeling

"A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough."


More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.


Hence a phrase which has passed into hitch hiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is.""


- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy"

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."


- Robert Heinlein, "Time Enough for Love"

"There is no such thing as a moral or immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all."


- Oscar Wilde, the preface of "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
