So I've made my own custom fluid crude oil and was able to spawn it via the ore generator. But what I really want is to spawn them as patches of oil. I'm registering the LakeHandler in my main file like this...

 

GameRegistry.registerWorldGenerator(new MaterialEvolutionLakeGenerator(blockCrudeOil), 3);

 

..and then use this code trying to spawn the oil patches...

 

package com.mofakin.materialevolution;

 

import java.util.Random;

 

import cpw.mods.fml.common.IWorldGenerator;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

import net.minecraft.world.chunk.IChunkProvider;

import net.minecraft.world.gen.feature.WorldGenLakes;

import net.minecraft.world.gen.feature.WorldGenMinable;

 

public class MaterialEvolutionLakeGenerator extends WorldGenLakes implements IWorldGenerator {

 

public MaterialEvolutionLakeGenerator(Block p_i45455_1_) {

super(p_i45455_1_);

}

 

 

@Override

public boolean generate(World world, Random random, int x, int y, int z){

 

int firstBlockXCoord = x + random.nextInt(16);

int firstBlockYCoord = random.nextInt(128);

int firstBlockZCoord = z + random.nextInt(16);

 

new WorldGenLakes(MaterialEvolutionModBase.blockCrudeOil).generate(world, random, firstBlockXCoord, firstBlockYCoord, firstBlockZCoord);

return true;

 

}

 

 

@Override

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

 

int firstBlockXCoord = chunkX + random.nextInt(16);

int firstBlockYCoord = random.nextInt(128);

int firstBlockZCoord = chunkZ + random.nextInt(16);

 

new WorldGenLakes(MaterialEvolutionModBase.blockCrudeOil).generate(world, random, firstBlockXCoord, firstBlockYCoord, firstBlockZCoord);

 

}

 

}

 

...it's working perfectly inside the ore generator, despite not being an ore, but what's wrong with it in the lake handler?

I'm pretty sure you need to make the lake generator a different class. I've never worked with it before but, it could be conflicting.

I'm quoting @larsgerrits here...

You don't need a new version of WorldGenLakes. You can just call new WorldGenLakes(YOUR_FLUID_BLOCK).generate(World,Random,Integer,Integer,Integer); and that will make it generate.

 

...the vanilla WorldGenLakes class is a World Generator class, and it implements methods the same way I do. I've found another thread using a method based on IChunkProvider, but I don't want to do Biomes or Dimensions, I only want to spawn my fluid in patches of oil. Which class type do you exactly advice me to use?

I feel dumb now...it's working. I should have utilized the fly function in creative mode earlier. You want to use the void method, not the boolean. Now I just need to find a frequence of quantity. The one used in ore generator doesn't semm to work.

This is how to do what you are saying. Create a class that extends WorldGenLakes and implements IWorldGenerator. Then, register a copy of it specifying your oil block as the block type.

 

import java.util.Random;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.IWorldGenerator;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraft.world.chunk.IChunkProvider;
import net.minecraft.world.gen.feature.WorldGenLakes;

public class OilLakeWorldGenerator extends WorldGenLakes implements IWorldGenerator{
    //    Constructors.
    public OilLakeWorldGenerator(Block fluidBlock) {
        super(fluidBlock);
    }
    
    //    Methods.
    @Override
    public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) {
        int x = (chunkX*16) + random.nextInt(16) + 8;
        int y = random.nextInt(256);
        int z = (chunkZ*16) + random.nextInt(16) + 8;
        super.generate(world, random, x, y, z);
    }
}

 

Change the y when you want it to spawn at only certain levels.

• This thread is over 2 years old.
• 1.7.10 is no longer supported.
• Your example will cause chunk-loading issues during worldgen.
  • What if the random.nextInt(16) is greater than 8? And you add 8 to that? Oh, we got n > 16, so now we're in the next chunk.
