[1.7.10] Custom block not generating in Savannah Biome

Glistre · November 28, 2015

For some reason I am unable to generate custom ore/blocks in Savannah biomes. All other biomes I have tried no problems. I am trying to generate the "Block_3" on the surface of the Savannah. I recall reading somewhere that you can only replace certain blocks? The surface of Savannah is usually stone is there a way to change this code to replace the grass or stone on the surface of the Savannah?

See, it helps if you actually look at the BiomeGenBase class.

    public static final BiomeGenBase savanna = (new BiomeGenSavanna(35)).setColor(12431967).setBiomeName("Savanna").setTemperatureRainfall(1.2F, 0.0F).setDisableRain().setHeight(height_LowPlains);
    public static final BiomeGenBase savannaPlateau = (new BiomeGenSavanna(36)).setColor(10984804).setBiomeName("Savanna Plateau").setTemperatureRainfall(1.0F, 0.0F).setDisableRain().setHeight(height_HighPlateaus);

"Savanna" will never equal "Savannah"

Second, there's a public static reference right there you can compare to without having to do string comparison (which is expensive).

Third, it is possible for the savanna biome to show up in dimensions other than the overworld, e.g. Mystcraft ages. You should let your ore generate in all dimensions as long as the biome check is valid.

I am flocking blind thank you for the suggestions and the eyes

I will change it I was noticing a bit of "warning: clientsidechunkingticking took ..." error and lag hope that gets rid of it

Not real sure if I am doing this right it seems to work. ...am I doing the Height part and any of this correct?

It works but I would appreciate your input if you have a sec to look at it

Why are you creating new instances of

BiomeGenBase

? Use the static instance in

BiomeGenBase.class

.

Draco18s · November 28, 2015

Followed by:

        switch(world.provider.dimensionId)
        {
        //case 0 = Overworld
            case 0:
                generateSurface(world, random, chunkX*16,chunkZ*16);
                break;
        //case 0 = Nether
            case -1:
            	generateSurface(world, random, chunkX*16,chunkZ*16);
            	break;
        //case 0 = End
            case 1:
            	generateSurface(world, random, chunkX*16,chunkZ*16);
            	break;
            	
               
        }             
    }

What happens when dimension 47 generates and is an overworld clone? The reason I mentioned the other dimensions was not so you would run your code on the nether and the end (which, by the way, is pointless as the savanna never shows up in either of those) but so that you would add a default case so that it could handle ANY mod-added dimension.

That should work, but it still won't generate in a Mystcraft dimension.

That should work, but it still won't generate in a Mystcraft dimension.

So maybe add something like case Glistreland.DIMENSIONID ...

make a custom dimension?

larsgerrits · November 29, 2015

No. You know how a

switch

statement works? You can add a

default

which is the default thing to do if the other cases don't hit. So instead of

case #:

, you do

default:

. That way, as Draco18s said three times before, it will generate in every dimension with a Savanna biome, instead of only the Overworld.

Would this work for Mystcraft etc?

@Override
    public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) {
        switch(world.provider.dimensionId)
        {
        //case -1 = Nether

                break;
        //case 0 = Overworld
            case 0:
            	generateSurface(world, random, chunkX*16,chunkZ*16);
            	break;
        //case 1 = End
            case 1:
            	generateSurface(world, random, chunkX*16,chunkZ*16);
            	break;         	
        //default case e.g. Mystcraft ..others
            default:
            	generateSurface(world, random, chunkX*16,chunkZ*16);
            	break;
        }              
    }

larsgerrits · November 29, 2015

Yes, it would, though it is a bit redundant if the 3 cases and the default all do the same thing. Unless you are going to change the Nether and the End case to something else, you might aswell remove the

switch

statement.

Draco18s · November 30, 2015

Perfect. I spoke up about it as I know that other mods did something similar as you had done, checking "is overworld" rather than "is not nether, end"
