Certain Biomes Should Have Unique Ore Distribution

Given recent snapshots' sneak peaks at new ore distribution, I think it would be an interesting change to make each or certain biomes' caves have their own ore distribution. For example, emeralds may already be found more commonly in mountain biomes and gold ore in badlands, but why not apply a similar change to the other ores. Lapis, Redstone, Iron, Copper, and even Diamonds could have unique generation in some biomes where they may be more common... or more rare. This would add additional strategies to mining, depending on which resource you want. There could also be changes made to the ore distribution on certain Y-levels for each biome as well.

    I love this idea. Extra Redstone in Jungles, more exposed Lapis in Deep Oceans and bigger pockets of Iron in Dripstone Caves?

    Yea, coal should be extra common in swamps because coal is formed by peat and other plant matter which is very abundant in swamps. Also copper should be extra common in oceans to explain why the drowned drop it.

    no coal should be extra common in the desert not in the swamps, as deserts did the "plant-to-coal cycle".T hat is why they have no vegetation, while swamps didn't do the "plant-to-coal cycle" and that s why there are so many plants in there
