I notice that gold appears to be pretty rare while mining in Middle Earth. Perhaps I am mining in the wrong locations so I decided to go to the over world to mine there. Turns out I end up getting just 3 diamonds, 8 stacks of red stone, 2 stacks of iron, and 2 blocks of gold. At this point I have to ask myself if diamond and gold have been manipulated to spawn less? On regular minecraft over world mining, I would have run into more Diamond and Gold than I have been on the server. So my question is, has Gold and Diamond been made more rare even in the over world? Had Gold been made rarer in ME?
