Size

Value-Type: Integer
Value-Range: [0, ∞)

Other than by the minecraft:ore generator, by the scattered ore generator the size directly indicates how many blocks of ores are maximal generated. With the amount of blocks being generated laying between 0 and the set size.

Discard Chance On Air Exposure

Value-Type: Float
Value-Range: [0, 1]

The discard chance on air exposure controls, how likely it is that an ore block has air nearby and is thereby visible from a cave or similar. 0 hereby means there is 0% chance the ore is discarded and will be placed regardless if air is nearby or not, 0.5 means there is a 50% chance and 1 results in a 100% chance for the ore being discarded, when air is nearby.

This setting can be used if an ore vein should not be able to be spotted from a cave, but rather from strip mining or similar.
