Copper does not spawn

[Krystian W]

Please help, in my world where I have already spent a lot of time copper does not appear, I do not know if I am doing something wrong or if it is a bug. I have been searching for copper with a geological pickaxe all day and even when it says that the ore is large, the permille is 0.02 or 0.01, at the end I searched for it in creative mode, but there is no copper either. How to fix this? Maybe it is the fault of one of several mods?

First question then is what mods are you running?

At ultra high readings you should be hitting it with no problem. Are you digging straight down and using ladders? It should spawn around 72 world height if you didn't change world height.

when creating I increased it a bit, I didn't dig because everyone has it in the guides and says that it has to be from 25 per mille or percent, I don't understand it completely, even with a very large amount of percent I only have 0.02%

Forget what everyone says in the guides. Just use the descriptor very high, high, poor, etc... Decent is good enough of a reading to find almost any ore. Just dig straight down using ladders so you don't fall if you hit a cave. 

At .7 and below of sea level is where most ores start to spawn. So at default settings sea level is 110 height which equates to about 77. If you doubled world height for example it would be 154.

I am new to the game and i was surprised by how deep i need to dig to hit a copper vein. So maybe you just need to dig deeper.

I sat and searched, I found what was the cause, one fucking mod was doing it. I'm thinking now what to do, I would like not to lose my base and progress, I think I'll try to find some world edit to cut it out

Could you tell us what mod did that?

I will second this statement. All ores have different "numbers" for their percentages, and Decent is the lowest I will start searching for any specific ore.

You can regenerate any area of the map you want by using the command " /wgen regen 1 ". The 1 is a radius around you of chunks you want reset to the current world generation settings. You can increase the number to reset a larger area. WARNING ACHTUNG! it nukes everything in the affected chunks. Do not do this near your base or anything you want to keep. This includes animals.
