I have created a custom feature which should generate my custom ore in the world,
my ore should only generate in certain chunks with certain biomes,
and this in a 5x5 chunk area (80x80 blocks), but after a lot of testing and fixing bugs,
that's me noticed that my ore is only generated in a 3x3 chunk area, outside the area no chunk seems to exist.

So is this intentional,
or do I have to overwrite a method in my feature,
or is this due to the "settings" of the ConfiguredFeature,
or somewhere else?

What does your feature look like? Based on what I can see, there is a dependency on each chunk to be able to load an eight chunk radius around that for feature generation.

This is also the case, if I specify a position that is outside of these 8 chunks,
there is an error on the console, but if I try to place a block outside of a 3 chunk radius,
no block is placed, as already said outside the area no chunk seems to exist

this is my feature:

public class HardDeepslateFeature extends Feature<NoFeatureConfig> {

	public HardDeepslateFeature() {
		super(NoFeatureConfig.CODEC);
	}

	@Override
	public boolean place(ISeedReader seedReader, ChunkGenerator chunkGenerator, Random rng, BlockPos pos, NoFeatureConfig config) {
		Chunk chunk = (Chunk) seedReader.getChunk(pos);
		if (chunk.getPos().x % 20 == 0 && chunk.getPos().z % 20 == 0) {
			this.placeOre(seedReader, rng, pos);
		}
		return true;
	}
	
	protected void placeOre(ISeedReader seedReader, Random rng, BlockPos pos) {
		// Main Ore
		int y = MathHelper.nextInt(rng, 32, 128);
		this.generateOreVine(seedReader, rng, this.getNextPos(pos, 8, 8), y, 10);
		// Ore in chunk +1 +1
		this.generateOreVine(seedReader, rng, this.getNextPos(pos, 24, 24), y, 20);
		// Ore in chunk +1 -1
		this.generateOreVine(seedReader, rng, this.getNextPos(pos, 24, -24), y, 20);
		// Ore in chunk -1 +1
		this.generateOreVine(seedReader, rng, this.getNextPos(pos, -24, 24), y, 20);
		// Ore in chunk -1 -1
		this.generateOreVine(seedReader, rng, this.getNextPos(pos, -24, -24), y, 20);
		
		// Ore in chunk +5 +5
		this.generateOreVine(seedReader, rng, this.getNextPos(pos, 88, 88), y, 40);
		// Ore in chunk +5 -5
		this.generateOreVine(seedReader, rng, this.getNextPos(pos, 88, -88), y, 40);
		// Ore in chunk -5 +5
		this.generateOreVine(seedReader, rng, this.getNextPos(pos, -88, 88), y, 40);
		// Ore in chunk -5 -5
		this.generateOreVine(seedReader, rng, this.getNextPos(pos, -88, -88), y, 40);
	}
	
	protected BlockPos getNextPos(BlockPos pos, int x, int z) {
		return new BlockPos(z, pos.getY(), z);
	}
	
	// generate horizontal vine
	protected void generateOreVine(ISeedReader seedReader, Random rng, BlockPos pos, int y, int count) {
		int x = MathHelper.nextInt(rng, 0, 15);
		int z = MathHelper.nextInt(rng, 0, 15);
		for (int i = y; i < y + count; i++) {
			seedReader.setBlock(new BlockPos(pos.getX() + x, i, pos.getZ() + z), ModBlocks.HARD_DEEPSLATE.get().defaultBlockState(), i);
		}
	}

}

 

The entire purpose of this feature is incorrect. You're mixing in a placement with the feature.  All this feature would do is spawn the block at the specified position passed with maybe the count coming into effect. The placement would determine whether a chunk was valid to spawn in and the height of the feature to start setting.

so i am not allowed to change the position in the feature
makes sense after looking at the vanilla features

so i have to create a placement for my feature, which then handle the position of the feature?
But how do I put the bigger features? because my created feature is actually only a small part of what I want to generate.

is there a vanilla example for a placement/feature of a larger feature,
since the MonsterRoom feature is probably not suitable as an example for my purposes,
or does it make more sense to create a structure for larger features
and if so, how do I create these randomly because the structures are fixed, village houses, igloos, etc. ?

So what do you want to generate? You seem to either be combining multiple features into one feature based on what I'm seeing.

Structures are perfectly capable of being randomized using pools. Currently out of what I've seen though, you don't really have any dynamic data.

my goal would be to generate a large main room with a lot of my custom ore,
and to generate these several small rooms with less ore, the ore should be generated in the middle of the room,
the rooms should also be connected with a kind of tunnel system.

if I think about what I want to generate, it would be smartest to generate a structure instead of a featrure
two more questions about structures:

it is possible to generate structures in the code and not via nbt file
and is there a vanilla structure that i can use as an example

Sure, although based on what I'm hearing, there's nothing that you can't do via nbt.

There's a bunch like the desert pyramid iirc.

thanks i try that

the structure works almost perfectly there are a few small things that i have to change, only optically

one more little thing, I'm currently trying to understand the world generating, here I tried to generate a custom cave,
but I have again the problem that chunks not or not complete load. looks like this:

this is the code:

I hope you can help me again

 

Your carvers seem to be working as intended from what I glance. I would suggest looking at the existing CaveWorldCarver since that most likely has what you're looking for.

the problem has been fixed, unfortunately i still have a problem with my structure because i had to recreate it (because my hard drive crashed and destroyed many files).
unfortunately i can't remember how i fixed the problem last time. The error is probably due to the fact that the structure is not correctly registered,
because the game is always chrashed when I want to create a new world or i load a old world:

This is the log:
log.log

I hope you can help me one last time
