Ratio of ores

In the experimental caves and cliff feature; coal and iron is so much more rare than diamonds which is very off! i went caving, and came back with 2 stacks of diamonds and 1 stack of iron and 30 coal. I know it’s not official!

    Umm, that's literally because you're mining so deep. Yes, it is final, after literal months of testing. You didn't look at the ore generation charts, did you? Diamonds spawn the most frequently at Y=-64, even more frequently than Iron. Coal never spawns below Y=0. Iron peaks at around Y=16 and Coal at around Y=96 I believe. There's meant to be strategy, you don't just go as deep as possible and find the most of literally everything.
