I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Mmm... this can be a problem because of the fact of mountains that are way above Y=0. So a mountain, that would normally have a few or a lot gemstones/ores, would no longer have them.
Although this could be good, or again, it could not be. Its all situational.
While yes, this makes it generally more realistic, in other cases, such as the mountain stated above; It would make it unrealistic.
Since both cases will happen on a server, I cannot really justify using it.

It just dawned on me, but couldn't this also be used to make an ore-like material, for say, fossils, appear under a certain depth?

In theory, yes. By logic, if you can force ores to only show up when Y<0, then certainly you can make fossils appear when Y<X.
Only way to be 100% sure is to test it :D

well if you think about it gemstones should be deep in the ground anyway so their somewhat hard to get to

My function solves exactly this problem. It return ground level. You want to know mountains height, right?

Yes, they should. Here is how I do it: https://github.com/inkelyad/zlovespancakes-minetest-mods/blob/use_get_ground_level/gemstones/init.lua

Unfortunately, I can't seem to compile on my computer. But if anyone has a windows version with this in it, I'd be thankful if they'd share it with me.
