Thank you in advance everyone for any help given.

I am attempting to change the entity names of the ores to be "consistent" so that they all have the format "<Ore Name> (<Element> ore)", but having two difficulties in doing so.

1) When I change the name, it shows up in gameplay as the corrected name, but the name on the map does not change. For example Zinc ore shows as "Sphalerite (Zinc ore)" in game but on the map it just says "Zinc Ore", while "Quartz (Silicon ore)" shows correct on both.

2) I know this is a little out of scope for this mod, but if anyone could tell me which locale files I can change/edit to rename the base game ores like Iron ore and Copper ore, I would be appreciative.

you'll need [entity-name] for the resource on the ground, [item-name] for the item, and [autoplace-control-names] for the map generator's name.

All of the "Ores" should use the same name, I think waters share an autoplace control though.

Check out those sections of the locale file in bobores.

Will do, thank you for the prompt reply! :)
