A New Idea

[mine1117]

To start i appoligize if this is not where I am supposed to post this kind of thing I am new to this whole posting thing

second i have search for a mod that will do this idea and I can't find any thing that fits

and third I am not a modder but I am aware of the work that it takes to program anything!

so I do understand that this Idea may not be possible or may not be worth the work it may take

 

now on to the idea I have noticed in games like zelda that when you have like a mystical forest there are these floating

fuzzy dust things in the air

like in this picture: http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/13/139979/2181873-lost_woods__majora_s_mask_.png

they serve no purpose but they add to the atmosphere and I was wondering how hard it would be to make a mod

that would add something like this to forest biomes

 

just small glowing fuzz balls floating through the air that do nothing but float and do not collide with the environment or player

they do not even have to put out light (I think if they put out light it would hog resources) I will mention that If

no one wants to bother with creating this kind of thing I understand but if they could post a link or something

pointing me in the right direction as to what I need to learn in order to do this I will look into it my self and

see if I can create something like this myself. again I apologize if this is posted in the wrong section or even wrong site!

i was unsure as to where i should be posting this kind of thing

 

basicly as a summary I was thinking of this as like a particle effect

This could be very possible, something like detecting if the player is in a forest and if the player is, spawn particles around the player

If you really want this mod, I could make it in under 10 mins

Like this?

 

 

This is part of the upcoming Betweenlands mod.

Not if it becomes a thing in the upcoming Arcticraft mod first!

[Quintinity]

Nuuu, we trademarked them as "glowy floaty ball things". ;P

[Thor597]

So i'm guessing you guys did what I said though:

 

Make a PlayerEvent

 

Spawn particles around the player by using world.spawnparticles("particlecrap", players position in X, Y and Z + random.nextFloats);

 

?

 

And dont worry, our ones will probably be coldly blue frost things

sweet this is excatly the kind of thing i was thinking

so... would it be possible for me to make a simple mod for my own small personal server?

of course i understand that a few more lines of code may be needed to determine when a player is in a certain biome

I thought this would've worked but It doesnt, nothing happens:

 

@ForgeSubscribe
public void playerEvent(PlayerEvent event)
{
	int var1 = MathHelper.floor_double(event.entityPlayer.posX);
        int var2 = MathHelper.floor_double(event.entityPlayer.posZ);
        BiomeGenBase var3 = event.entityPlayer.worldObj.getBiomeGenForCoords(var1, var2);

	if(var3.biomeID == BiomeGenBase.forest.biomeID)
	{
		particle stuff
	}
}
