Replace Gravel in the Nether [1.10.2]

[Villfuk02]

I know there must be, but i havent found any way how to replace all the gravel in nether with my own blocks, when nether is generated. What i'm using now is this:

 

for(int i = 0; i < 600; i++)	{
			BlockPos pos = new BlockPos(chunkX*16 + random.nextInt(16), 63 + random.nextInt(3), (chunkZ*16) + random.nextInt(16));
			new WorldGenMinable(ModBlocks.nethersand.getDefaultState(), 32, BlockMatcher.forBlock(Blocks.GRAVEL)).generate(world, random, pos);
		}

Btw, i mean BETTER way and it would be cool if it didn't cause any block updates, so the blocks would still float until something updates them

You can use

ChunkGeneratorEvent.ReplaceBiomeBlocks

to completely replace the nether's lava, soulsand and gravel generation with your own. For this you will have to replicate what

ChunkProviderHell::buildSurfaces

does. Also note that that is not the only place that fires this event.

 

As a side note, your passive aggressive title-tags are not appreciated. You will get help like everyone else. For free, I might add.

Sorry for the title.

 

 

Can you explain it like for someone, who has never made any mc mod please?

 

sorry, im new

 

Thanks

You can read up about events here. However basic Java knowledge is required for making a mod and we will not teach you about it here.

So, i am like supposed to rewrite minecraft's code for building Surfaces in here, but with my block instead of gravel?

[diesieben07]

Basically, yes.
