I think that this is a strong visualization for its ease of readability and aesthetic. Using violin plots in this context is appropriate, because it allows viewers to easily compare the distribution and probability density of the different ores in Minecraft at different depths. For instance, I can see that redstone and diamond appear at the same y-levels, which is helpful if I do not know exact player coordinates. The shape of the violins also informs me that the density of coal and iron ores will be higher when I dig deeper. The stylization of the plot is also conducive for practical use, with a cross-section of a Minecraft world as the background and an image of each ore as they appear in the game.
