I think I accidentally set my world to never generate surface copper, how do I check if that is the case?

[Kenneth Romeo Carrington]

Is there any way I can check to see if I accidentally set this? Some sort of command maybe?

[Streetwind]

Yes: /worldconfig surfaceCopperDeposits

It'll return a number. If that number is zero, it won't generate any. A value higher than 0, and there will be copper. The default is 0.1 according to the wiki, which corresponds to a 10% spawn chance for every chunk.

Should you find that it is zero, you can input a number at the end of the command to set it to that number. It will only apply to newly generated terrain, though. Don't set too high a number, or else it'll be all over the place.
