[1.7.10] Island World Generator

[Raiza 1]

Hello everyone, so for the past couple of days I have endeavored on studying how minecraft's world generation occurs and how I can tweak it to my liking. I'm working on a mod that will generate(does not have to be 100%, but most of the time), a world that is entirely an ocean biome. However, I can't seem to achieve this and I'm stuck at whether I can acheive just editing the files that produce the chunks or if I'm going to completely have to restructure biomes and how they generate.

 

Here are some samples of my code, if anyone could provide me with ideas or ways that I could achieve my goal it would be much appreciated.

 

IslandWorldGen Class

 

public class Islandworldgen extends WorldType{

 

public Islandworldgen(int par1, String par2Str) {

 

super(par1, par2Str);

this.addNewBiome(BiomeGenBase.ocean);

 

 

}

 

@Override

public WorldChunkManager getChunkManager(World world) {

 

return new IslandWorldChunkManager(world);

 

}

 

@Override

public IChunkProvider getChunkGenerator(World world, String generatorOptions) {

 

return new IslandWorldChunkProvider(world);

       

}

 

 

 

    //Get spawn coords for player

@Override

public int getSpawnFuzz() {

 

    return 100;

       

}

 

}

/*This is the method i am having issues with, theres a lot of thought that goes into this one and i wanted to ask others on what i need to do before tackling it myself.*/

Thank you all for any help you provide me with.

I haven't worked in 1.7.10 at all, but I will see if I can offer advice that works for 1.8.

 

First: to pick which ocean is generated at which area you use the

getBiomeGenAt

method inside the ChunkManager.

public BiomeGenBase getBiomeGenAt(int x, int z) {
      
      return this.biomeCache.getBiomeGenAt(x, z);
       
    }

 

The

provideChunk

method in 1.8 is what is used to generate the chunk. For my purposes I did not have to implement the "load chunk" method at all, and let the provide chunk method do it. This method in 1.8 makes the proper calls to fully generate a 16x16 segment of the terrain - but to do this it calls into BiomeGenBase classes to generate each vertical segment of the chunk.

The provide chunk method should probably involve populating a chunk fully up to your desired height while staying below sea level. Everything between sea level and the height you stopped at should be set to water blocks, and after that you would have a simple ocean world.
