ForgeGradle

Make sure you set the render layer in FMLClientSetupEvent.

How do i fix that since I don't have any mods installed, this is just launching Forge by itself

Does anyone know why this may be rendering improperly? I essentially have just duplicated vanilla fire and made it purple but it has a strange light purple render layer or something visible behind the Cursed Flames' texture. There are no model/render issues in the log. Picture: (Cursed Flames, next to Soul Fire, and normal Fire)

@Override public void init(ChunkGenerator<?> generator, TemplateManager templateManagerIn, int chunkX, int chunkZ, Biome biomeIn) { int worldX = chunkX * 16; int worldZ = chunkZ * 16; BlockPos blockpos = new BlockPos(worldX + random.nextInt(15), 0, worldZ + random.nextInt(15)); this.components.add(new TestStructurePiece(templateManagerIn, TestMod.TEST_STRUCTURE_PIECE_LOCATION, blockpos, Rotation.randomRotation(random), 1)); this.recalculateStructureSize(); } Actually, here you have a absolute freedom of how will you generate structure. You may even call single block a structure piece and actually generate your structure block-by-block (please, don't do that, I'm sure, this can be done in more intelligent way).

Upon further research I believe you have the right Idea. I don't know how exactly it will work yet, But I'll try combining the two features that I mentioned above (the Oasis and Palm Tree) into a structure that will randomly generate. Then the lake could perhaps be a little random instead of the cookie-cutter shape I currently have. Like randomly choose a x amount of central positions within the structure for where to spawn the oasis feature. And then choose a series of random positions that have grass underneath for where to spawn the palm tree feature. I don't know if this will work, But I believe it is the best step forward for creating a unique and naturally looking Oasis.
