Some notes:
- Surface distance indicates how far below the surface the resource must be to spawn
- Liquid distance indicates how far below water/lava the resource must be to spawn
- Different worlds have different resources: you won’t find all these on a single world!
For example: Emeralds spawn at altitude 0-20, only if at least 2 blocks underground (and at most 60), and that ground is under a lake at least 10 blocks deep.
