So hi new here and just got a few questions about the stones i know you can craft them by getting 9 shards but the only ones ive been able to find are the leaf stone peices since theyre in the trees. I just want to know where to find the Thunder,Water,and Fire Stone pieces. If you can help me out it would be much appreciated thanks :)

Thunder stones can be found in extreme hills, its best if you fly around you can sometimes see them poking out of the mountain. Otherwise you have to dig a lot!

How rare are Firestone shards anyway? I have analyzed about 100 chunks with world edit, and found absolutely none so far!

i think the fire stones need a different way of spawning, how about near lava. under it seems a bit much. and it's so rare i have never found a single one.

i still vote for them to spawn like regular ores underground....same goes for the other stones too, i mean, where would THEY spawn?

I agree that they should be near lava as well rather than always underneath it

Definitely agree with this, its so difficult finding fire stone let alone mine it.

Just my analysis, I think the code was setup wrong. Fire shards don't seem to spawn under lava except for in the nether.

Code: Select allif (above.block == lava) then
  var1 = rnd(40)
  if (var1) then
    block = fireshard
  endif
endif


I do not know java, and I didn't put this in any particular language or working code. Just something I put together quick as an example. In summary, it means a block below lava should have a 1 in 40 chance of being a fire shard. I also didn't pick 40 as a balanced number, again, it was an example.

I don't know why they only spawn in the nether but I do know MrM did not want Pixelmon to have anything to do with the nether.
