Evolution stone ores are a set of blocks that can be mined to yield a single evolution stone.

Obtaining

Mining

Evolution stone ores can be obtained by mining them with a stone or higher tier pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch. When mined with a pickaxe without the Silk Touch enchantment, evolution stone ores will drop their respective evolution stone. These blocks are not affected by the Fortune enchantment.

Natural Generation

Evolution stone ore generation is completely dependent on biome tags. All of the various evolution stone ore types have common biome tags in which they generate and rare biome tags in which they generate half as often.

Evolution stone ores' common generation comes in two batches. The first batch attempts to generate 8 times per chunk in blobs of 1-2, from levels 64 to 320, being most common around level 192 and becoming less common towards either end of the range. The second batch attempts to generate 8 times per chunk in blobs of 1-2, from levels -64 to 192, being most common around level 64 and becoming less common towards either end of the range.

Evolution stone ores' rare generation comes in two batches. The first batch attempts to generate 4 times per chunk in blobs of 1-2, from levels 64 to 320, being most common around level 192 and becoming less common towards either end of the range. The second batch attempts to generate 4 times per chunk in blobs of 1-2, from levels -64 to 192, being most common around level 64 and becoming less common towards either end of the range.

These create a large section between levels 64 and 192 in which evolution stones are the most common.
