I noticed some unusual log activity on my server recently involving "Retroactivity adding ore ..." messages. I looked at the code and I think I understand why it's a thing. The thing I find unusual is that is seems to be repeatedly adding ore to the same chunks over and over. (Though, because of the way the generation seed is derived from the chunk coordinates, you don't actually get more ore except possibly in specific circumstances.)

In the attached log, it's stuck on repeatedly generating for chunks 51, 106; 51, 108; and 51, 109 in what I think is the Aroma mining dimension.

Minecraft v1.12.1
ATM3 v3.01

The server has been running this entire time and DE is still trying to populate 108 and 109 with occasionally forays to 106.

I have to ask about this

06.10 05:13:20 [Server] Server thread/INFO [draconicevolution]: Retroactively adding ore to {dim: -6, chunkPos: [33, -13], chunksToGo: 19}

Dim -6 is added to the ban list of ores to generate in

Add the dimension id of any mod dimension's you dont want draconium ore generated in

Is it just server spam or is it actually adding the ores, no one has found any yet.

Correct the blacklist is working but the blacklist is only checked in the generate method which is fired by the retrogen code so you still get the retrogen spam. Retrogen spam will be disabled in the next release.
