Question

Changing meteoriteMaximumSpawnHeight in generated config file seems to accomplish nothing.

Describe the bug
When launching an instance of Forge+Minecraft with AE2 installed, a file named appliedenergistics2-common.toml is generated automatically by the mod.

Within that file a section exists called [worldGen], and within that section there is a line that reads meteoriteMaximumSpawnHeight = 180 by default.

Changing this value does not reduce the maximum spawn height for meteorites.

To Reproduce

Install Minecraft 1.16, Forge 35.1.36, Applied Energistics 2 v8.2.0 beta 2, and any other mods your heart desires.
Launch this collection.
Close Minecraft once it has fully loaded.
Enter the directory containing the config files.
Change the line described above to much lower values (say, 30 or 40).
Relaunch this collection of Minecraft and mods.
Create a fresh, brand new world.
Fly around in it with a Meteorite Compass, or use /locate appliedenergistics2:meteorite to locate a meteorite.
Observe that said meteorite has likely spawned in a location far above the value entered in the config file.

Expected behavior
Meteors would only spawn in at or below the height set in the config. In prior versions of AE2, this meant that the only meteors that could or would be discovered might be underground ones.

Additional context

[worldGen]
	#Range: 0.0 ~ 1.0
	spawnChargedChance = 0.08
	meteoriteMaximumSpawnHeight = 30

This config option has already been removed in newer versions.

The config option is actually still present, however the functionality itself was removed with the changes to worldgen in 1.15 and later. Probably should also remove the option itself now.

@shartte

This config option has already been removed in newer versions.

Sorry, in my initial post I assumed I had installed the release version when in fact I had installed the 8.2.0 beta 2 version.

So are you referring to unreleased versions?

Also... how do I prevent meteorites from spawning on the surface of the world in upcoming versions? There was actually a recent conversation on /r/feedthebeast about how visible meteors were undesired by many, so I know I'm not the only one looking to do so.
