Hello,

 

I can't seem to get my world gen working properly with block IDs over 255.

 

When I change the block ID under 255, it works fine.

 

Problematic source:

Thanks.

World generation is limited to 256 for the base construction.

It cant be changed beyond that without horribly breaking compatibility with other mods.

However, the number of mods that do that deep of world gen is few and far between, so there shouldn't be an issue with your guys playing nice together.

So even if I am using my own chunk provider, I would have to edit the ExtendedBlockStorage class to use IDs > 256 is what you're saying.

You would have to edit all the classes related to generating and decorating the chunks.

Which screws up compatibility with other mods. The simplest, and best solution, is to reserve the block ids < 256 to be soley for world gen.

Darn, not the answer I was looking for.. but most of the smart mods have config files anyway, so compatibility won't be affected too much. Anyway thanks Lex.
