New way to obtain Deepslate Ores

With the removal of Deepslate blobs above Y=0, Coal, Copper, and Emerald Deepslate Ores are no longer Survival-Friendly. Why not lower the generation limit by 2-3 blocks, so that they could still rarely replace Deepslate, making them available once again?

    I definitely agree with this. They removed the deepslate blobs in the datapack because it made the area around y=0 cluttered and messy looking, but it also removed the possibility of finding deepslate versions of the ores that only generate above y=0. There should be a greatly lowered chance of finding ores in the deepslate layer to make it balanced, and they should only generate in the first few negative layers.

    I agree! There's also a consistency issue: in part 1 of caves and cliffs, it seems that you can actually get these ores (deepslate copper, emerald, coal), but not in part 2, meaning that players will miss out on these blocks. These ore blocks and raw ore are important in mining builds, and I hope they can be obtainable in part 2 and beyond, perhaps even renewable!
