    Currently /gen shows the odds of getting the listed ores in your cobble generator when your mining, but those odds aren't the only blocks that have odds on the server.

    I suggest replacing /gen with /odds but also include the percentage chance to get quartz as well as gravel considering both of them don't have a 100% drop rate and need to be explained to new players why it doesn't drop every time

    I like this idea but I feel like you should also be able to use /gen for players that are used to it, I do like the suggestion of the more ores being added

    It'd be better to just add alias linked to the function of /gen IMO

    I support the part of adding new ores to the list, but idk about the /gen --> /odds thing.

    Sounds way more better especially with making the odds for quartz ore on what people are asking.

    Greenies will complain that they are getting no quartz in their cobble gen.

    >_< idk if cal meant the quartz spawning in cobble gens. I think he meant the drop rate in the nether.

    Drogo knows what he meant but it will confuse greenies.
    Drogo doesn’t think they should be combined. One is gen rate, one is drop rate.

    This is why when you do /odds you have two separate sections one labelled "Cobble Generator" and one labelled "Nether"

    So long as the response from the command is clear.
    Could also be done as a message to players as they enter the nether because they will still ask the question. Only your answer will change to say “type /odds”

    Have an introductory statement then of sorts saying "Current percentage chance for these blocks to drop:" or whatever
