Is playing with larger ore vein cheating
So for context I usually play with world gen mods that make the world "bigger" (I use Tectonic and terralith with a few others) now while they definitely make caves bigger and nicer they unfortunately don't really change ore amounts, ergo making some (if not all) ores a lot more rarer...
Call it a skill issue but it took me an hour to get full iron+tools and this included caving and branch mining, and after caving for 2 hours I only got 40-ish Diamonds...
Frustrated I decided to download a mod that makes the ore veins larger just so I could actually progress in the damn game but my brother who was sitting beside me said that that's basically cheating, so now I'm torn weather playing with larger ore veins is cheating or if I should just keep playing as it is...
