/lods list deposits - shows the list of all availiable deposits in the chat (config name = deposit name)
/lods list generated - logs the list of generated deposits with their coords (only for loaded chunks)
/lods add <deposit> <rarity> <minSize_maxSize> <minAltitude_maxAltitude> - defines a new deposit and creates a config for it (e.g. /lods add vibranium 2000 300_600 4_16). In version 1.12 use hyphen ( - ) instead of underscore ( _ )
/lods addspec - does the same as above, but allows specifying the exact ore ID (in quotes) (e.g. /lods addspec amethyst 3400 200_400 4_16 'oresabovediamonds:amethyst_ore')
/lods remove <deposit> - removes definition of specified deposit and its config
/lods reload - reloads all configs (no need to restart the game after making some changes)
/lods gen <deposit> - generates ore deposit in the current chunk with parameters from the config
/lods genat <posX> <posZ> <deposit> - generates ore deposit at the specified position
/lods test <deposit> <amount> - generates ore deposit of the specified size at the current position, replacing also air blocks (usefull for quick testing without having to go underground)
/lods strip chunk - removes all blocks in the current chunk, which are not ores
/lods strip around - removes all blocks in surrounding chunks, which are not ores
/lods dress <chunk | around | all> - restores removed blocks (note that removed blocks are not saved between sessions, so make sure you have restored them all before shutting down the server)
