World generation
Ore distribution
- Increased top height limit of badlands gold generation from Y=79 to Y=256, and increased the number of blobs.
- Lava springs can now generate amid calcite, dirt, snow, powder snow and packed ice.

- Water springs don't generate higher than Y=192, and are slightly less common.
General
