Diverse ores

New ore blocks should be added to both the overworld and nether. All the current ores should be able to generate in andesite, diorite and granite just how the do in stone. Similarly ores should generate in nether rack just like quartz does now.

This would diversify the blocks and encourage players to mine the other types of rock and to mine in the nether.

Obviously it would need to be balanced so that ores aren’t too plentiful , especially in the nether where strip mining is relatively fast.

  To piggy back off of this:

  Mesa Biome ores using the different terracotta blocks

  The Mesa Biome looks very strange with clay on top and then once you enter a cave, it's suddenly stone. It would be nice for the gold ore to spawn in the existing terracotta block types. It would also be nice for the clay to extend into the mountains to really sell the idea of colored layers. Basically, after you get below y=something, the clay is no more and stone starts again.

  Also could potentially silver, rubies, bronze and copper.
