Biolith Examples

This mod provides a testing framework for Biolith in Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge, with modifications to all three vanilla dimensions. The testing configuration may be useful as usage examples, and over time I intend to add further usage examples to this mod.

Mod Configuration

• Fabric
• Forge
• NeoForge

Biome Placement

Testing placements are here: BiolithExamples.java

Things to check when testing Biolith with this mod:

• In the Overworld, Cherry Grove is removed and roughly replaced by Crimson forest, and the features should generate.
• In the Overworld, all Plains should be replaced with Warped Forest, and the features should generate.
• In the Overworld, a portion generally less than 20% of Deserts should be replaced by Mega Pine Taiga.
• In the Nether, all Warped Forests should be replaced with End Highlands (features do not generate).
• In the End, all End Highlands should be replaced with Plains, and the features should generate (villages too).

Releases via Maven

Much like Terraform API, add the Terraformers maven repository to your build.gradle:

repositories {
    maven {
        name = 'TerraformersMC'
        url = 'https://maven.terraformersmc.com/'
    }
}

And add the Biolith version for your loader (fabric, forge, or neoforge) to the dependencies section of build.gradle:

dependencies {
    modImplementation("com.terraformersmc:biolith-fabric:${project.biolith_version}")
}

If you wish to include Biolith in your mod for distribution, wrap the modImplementation() with an include()

Finally, set the Biolith version you want in gradle.properties:

biolith_version=3.0.0

For convenience, Biolith can also be downloaded from Modrinth.

Old examples from the Biolith README

public void during_mod_init() {
    // Place a biome at a specific noise point
    BiomePlacement.addNether(ModBiomeKeys.LUMINOUS_GROVE, MultiNoiseUtil.createNoiseHypercube(0.35F, 0.3F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.225F)); }

    // Remove an unlucky biome from the Overworld.
    BiomePlacement.removeOverworld(BiomeKeys.CHERRY_GROVE);

        // replace a vanilla biome 20% of the time
    BiomePlacement.replaceOverworld(BiomeKeys.FOREST, ModBiomeKeys.AUTUMNAL_WOODS, 0.2D);

    // add an edge sub-biome
    BiomePlacement.addSubOverworld(BiomeKeys.DESERT, ModBiomeKeys.OASIS, SubBiomeMatcher.of(SubBiomeMatcher.NEAR_BORDER));

    // add a sub-biome based on noise
    BiomePlacement.addSubOverworld(ModBiomeKeys.LUSH_DESERT, ModBiomeKeys.OASIS, CriterionBuilder.deviationMax(BiomeParameterTargets.PEAKS_VALLEYS, 0.2f));

    // register surface rule(s)
    SurfaceGeneration.addOverworldSurfaceRules(Identifier.of(Mod.MOD_ID, "surface_rules"), modSurfaceRules);

    // use surface builders
    // See the javadocs for this; surface builders are a complicated topic.
    // See also: [Terrestria's surface builders](https://github.com/TerraformersMC/Terrestria/tree/1.19.3/worldgen/src/main/java/com/terraformersmc/terrestria/surfacebuilders)
