Changes in 21w07a

Tweaks and updates to world generation and ores
Changes to the visuals of some ores and stone types
Reordered Redstone Tab in Creative Inventory

World Generation

Tweaked huge caves to be more rare and decreased the chance that caves are filled with water
Changed ore generation to match the new world height and to add more strategy to mining
Tweaked size and positioning of diorite, andesite & granite generation
Exception: Diorite and Granite and Dirt no longer generate below y = 0
Strongholds are now mostly encased in stone
Mineshaft corridors are now supported by log pillars below or chains above when needed

Visuals

Ores without unique shapes have been given new textures for accessibility reasons, so that each ore is distinguishable by shape alone
Being the most iconic ore, Diamond Ore texture is staying the same to keep that classic feel maintained
Blackstone, Polished Blackstone Bricks, and Cracked Polished Blackstone Bricks have had some minor touch ups

Creative Inventory

The Redstone Tab has been reordered to prioritize highly-used blocks
Redstone items/blocks have been grouped and ordered in the following way:
- Essentials
- Unique activators
- Miscellaneous
- Common activators
- Openables
