tModLoader How do I make ore spawn in a specific biome? (And other questions)

[Hallam_9K]

Help, how do I make my ore to generate only in the Underground Jungle?
Also, how do I make it shine when I use a spelunker potion?
Also, also, how do I make the ore show up on the mini-map?

Code:

Okay, first one is what I want to do too. Second one, I think the game makes it glow when it's recognized as treasure and third, you need to have a seperate (block).cs file with a tilesheet that will be the ore block in game, in that .cs file (read below) will be a line called AddMapEntry (and then the rgb values), that will be the color shown on the map of that block


Like this (it's from an ore I made and want to generate):

using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace things.Tiles.Floran
{
    public class FloranOre : ModTile
    {
        public override void SetDefaults()
        {
            Main.tileSolid[Type] = true;
            Main.tileMergeDirt[Type] = true;
            Main.tileLighted[Type] = true;
            Main.tileBlockLight[Type] = true;

            drop = mod.ItemType("FloranOre");
            ModTranslation name = CreateMapEntryName();
            name.SetDefault("Floran Ore");
            AddMapEntry(new Color(81, 178, 105), name);
            minPick = 40;
        }

        public override void ModifyLight(int i, int j, ref float r, ref float g, ref float b)
        {
            r = 0.25f;
            g = 0.75f;
            b = 0.3f;
        }
    }
}

Tile tile = Framing.GetTileSafely(x, y);
                 if (tile.active() && tile.type == TileID.MudBlock)
                {
                   WorldGen.TileRunner(.....);
                 }

This should work.
Note:This makes the ore generate in mud blocks, not the jungle itself.
But that shouldnt be a problem since about 80% of all the mud is in the jungle.
Tell me if you need help with sth.
Edit:Or look at the example mod file called: Example World
