Generate custom ores in custom dimension - minecraft

Question

I have recently created a custom dimension using data packs in Minecraft 1.16.5.
This dimension is a part of a mod that I am writing and I am currently trying to generate custom ores in that dimension; However, I was not able to generate ores in a custom dimension the same way that I generate ores in the Overworld or Nether. As I mentioned the dimension is handled via data packs (.json files) but the biomes are handled in game code (.java). I am very new to Java & modding, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Minecraft version : 1.16.5
Forge version : 36.2.9
The current code for Overworld & Nether ore gen :
public class OreGeneration
{
public static void generateOres(final BiomeLoadingEvent event)
{
// Gigalium :
if(!(event.getCategory().equals(Biome.Category.THEEND)))
{
// Nether :
if(event.getCategory().equals(Biome.Category.NETHER))
{
generateOre(event.getGeneration(), OreFeatureConfig.FillerBlockType.NETHERRACK, BlockInit.GIGALIUM_NETHER_ORE.get().defaultBlockState(), 6, 25, 50, 2);
generateOre(event.getGeneration(), OreFeatureConfig.FillerBlockType.NETHERRACK, BlockInit.GIGALIUM_NETHER_ORE.get().defaultBlockState(), 4, 51, 120, 2);
}
// Overworld :
if(event.getCategory().equals(Biome.Category.SWAMP) || event.getCategory().equals(Biome.Category.TAIGA))
{
generateOre(event.getGeneration(), OreFeatureConfig.FillerBlockType.NATURAL_STONE, BlockInit.GIGALIUM_ORE.get().defaultBlockState(), 5, 12, 15, 2);
generateOre(event.getGeneration(), OreFeatureConfig.FillerBlockType.NATURAL_STONE, BlockInit.GIGALIUM_ORE.get().defaultBlockState(), 4, 16, 20, 2);
}
if(!(event.getCategory().equals(Biome.Category.SWAMP) && event.getCategory().equals(Biome.Category.TAIGA)))
{
generateOre(event.getGeneration(), OreFeatureConfig.FillerBlockType.NATURAL_STONE, BlockInit.GIGALIUM_ORE.get().defaultBlockState(), 4, 10, 13, 1);
generateOre(event.getGeneration(), OreFeatureConfig.FillerBlockType.NATURAL_STONE, BlockInit.GIGALIUM_ORE.get().defaultBlockState(), 3, 14, 18, 1);
}
}
}
private static void generateOre(BiomeGenerationSettingsBuilder settings, RuleTest fillerType, BlockState state, int veinSize, int minHeight, int maxHeight, int amount)
{
settings.addFeature(GenerationStage.Decoration.UNDERGROUND_ORES, Feature.ORE.configured(new OreFeatureConfig(fillerType, state, veinSize)).decorated(Placement.RANGE.configured(new TopSolidRangeConfig(minHeight, 0, maxHeight))).squared().count(amount));
}
}

Answer 1

Answering my own question.
Instead of using event.getCategory().equals(SomeBiomeCategory) in the if statement in the OreGen class you should use event.getName().equals(YourModBiomeInit.BiomeName.getId(). Because event.getCategory().equals(SomeBiomeCategory) gets the category of the biome currently generating whilst event.getName().equals(YourModBiomeInit.BiomeName.getId() gets the registered name (or id).
So the if statement would look something like this :
if(event.getName().equals(YourModBiomeInit.SOME_BIOME.getId()))
{
// Generate ores ...
}
