Missing Ores

[ExceedinglyTransGoat]

I(And some others) have been having this problem where the ore chunks don't seem to be showing up.
I looked through the config files and found that the OreRegistry.json and SieveRegistry.json are empty.

the question is the ores missing also happens in other compatibility mod like Industry Craft

Figured out a solution, it's permanent (i think?) but requires some repetitive file changing

Short version : Get v17 and latest version, get the v17 text files for OreRegistry.json and SieveRegistry.json, then copy that in the latest version.

Explain to me like I'm 5 :

/Download both v17 and the version you want (latest is recommended!)
/Put the v17 in the mods folder, and if you had a more later version then delete the config for that file
/Delete the "exnihiloadscensio" folder in the "config" file in ".minecraft"
/Launch minecraft and play in a world
/Now the exnihilo config folder has been created
/Create a new folder in your desktop (
/Open the exnihiloadscensio folder in the config folder
/Open both "OreRegistry.json" and "SieveRegistry.json" as Notepad
/Create new text files in the folder you created on the desktop (for less confusion, name one /OreRegistry.json , and the other one "SieveRegistry.json"
/Copy whatever is in the OreRegistry.json to the text file, do the same with SieveRegistry.json
/Now you should have text files in the folder that you created on desktop that have the text from v17 /OreRegistry.json and SieveRegistry.json
/Delete the "exnihiloadscensio" folder in the "config" file, and do the same with the mod
/Put the latest version in the mods file
/Launch minecraft and play in a world, which should create the new config folder
/Find OreRegistry.json and SieveRegistry.json in the new "exnihiloadscensio" folder
/Remove everything from them, and copy in the text that you have in your text files which is in your new folder on the desktop
/OreRegistry.json text which is in your folder on desktop needs to be copied in the main text file that is in your config folder, same with SieveRegistry.json
/Save it, and run minecraft, and it will all work 👍
