[1.16.3] [Solved] Own Chunk Generator and Biome Generator with java code


Budschie

Recommended Posts

Hello there!

Today I decided to get into minecraft modding once more, as game development bored me a bit.

So, as the title already suggests, I want to somehow integrate own code into the json-data-driven system that minecraft

currently uses for its biome and terrain generation.

 

I'm totally clueless at the moment, as I have no idea how I can achieve something like this.

 

For the biome generator, I need to know how a codec works.

 

And for the terrain generator, I don't even know from what classes to extend from.

 

So, I'd really appreciate help.

So, how do I register a biome/chunkgenerator?

Biomes are handled through forge registries while chunk generators are handled through vanilla registries. You can find examples of both within the source or the docs.

And how exactly should I handle the codec class, and what is its purpose?

The codec class is essentially a generic algorithm that is not applicable to any one format. This allows different file operations to call this codec to handle in their specific file format. Here's a basic explanation of how to set up a codec. This article is completely independent of Forge itself and is not written by Forge.

@ChampionAsh5357 Thanks again for the reply. So, I'm now slowly getting used to this stuff.

But as my old code used quite a few methods in a mod-own biome base class (it contained stuff like biome-specific chunk generation),

which inherited from biome (sadly, this behaviour isn't possible anymore, as the biome constructor is private),

I started to wonder whether it would be considered good practise to use access transformers to allow me to inherit from the biome class again.

 

So, I'd appreciate answers to this question.

No, that wouldn't be feasible as this data driven system gets more developed over time. It would be just as easy to store a simple key interface that executes when a player is within a biome as needed without having to AT to extend the biome class.

I should've put the word map in there. Basically, each biome has an associated registry key which is universally unique. You could grab the registry key of the specific object and pass that into a map to grab an associated object or interface which would allow you to do some custom mechanics for the biomes. It works the same as if it was attached to the object itself, minus a little extra time.
