I have over 11000 lines in one of my structure codes, a big water temple, and it's important that it's generated exactly how it's built (converted a schematic to java).

Because of its length I need to break it down into several methods, one for each floor. But when I try to make it generate in 8 pieces, for some reason it skips every other piece and puts a big space between them.

 

Here's what I mean (screenshot):

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

Generating it:

 

Reveal hidden contents

 

public class GenerateStructures implements IWorldGenerator

{

 

@Override

public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider)

{

switch(world.provider.dimensionId)

{

case -1:

generateInNether(world, random, chunkX*16, chunkZ*16);

break;

case 0:

generateInOverworld(world, random, chunkX*16, chunkZ*16);

break;

case 1:

generateInEnd(world, random, chunkX*16, chunkZ*16);

break;

case 3:

generateInTwilightRealm(world, random, chunkX*16, chunkZ*16);

break;

}

}

private void generateInOverworld(World world, Random random, int x, int z)

{

WaterTempleBase waterTemple = new WaterTempleBase();

Random r = new Random();

int chance = r.nextInt(500);

 

for(int i = 0; i < 1; i++)

{

int chunkX = x;

int chunkZ = z;

int chunkY = world.getHeightValue(chunkX, chunkZ);

if(chance < FConfig.waterTemple())

{

waterTemple.generateSurface(world, random, chunkX, chunkY, chunkZ);

}

 

}

}

}

 

 

 

The structure (without the code that places each block):

 

Reveal hidden contents

 

public class WaterTempleBase extends StructureComponent

{

 

public void generateSurface(World world, Random random, int chunkX, int chunkY, int chunkZ)

{

|| world.getBiomeGenForCoords(chunkX, chunkZ).biomeName.equals(BiomeGenBase.deepOcean.biomeName))

{

boolean place = true;

 

for (int y = 0; y<11; y++)

for (int z = 0; z<13; z++)

for (int x = 0; x<9; x++)

if(world.getBlock(chunkX+x,j+y+1,chunkZ +z)!=Blocks.air)

place = false;

 

if(place)

{

                                System.out.println("[FandomCraft] Attempting to build the Water Temple at (" + chunkX + ", " + j + ", " + chunkZ + ")");

I am not totally sure but I'm suspicious of the world.getHeightValue() function.  I think that once you build, it will return a different value. so I think that in each of your generates you shouldn't be adding so much to j.  Like just use j+1 in each generate and see what that does.

 

To really trace this, after each j=world.getHeightValue() you can print a console statement like System.out.println("j = "+j); and see what it says.
