Replying toCrackers0106it looks like it's the same as the original aether/sky dimension's
you should develop a branch of the mod which is basically a port of the aether, instead of what the reborn team is doingyou seam like you know what you are doingReplying toCrackers0106I'm about to do something very terrible soon which is re-implementing this old chunk…
NO PLEASE NOThat chunkgenerator originally came from the 1.14 Archive, and I can personally say, you dont want to go back to that codeThough for testing purposes, that chunk generator only survived 1:1 until one of the early 1.16 snapshots (1.14 - 1.15.2 can still handle it perfectly fine, but the conversions to json demolished that class in it's entirety)- I'll just say there's very good reasons why most of the older archive code was scrapped for this rewrite, though tbf it is a good thing since the current codebase is much more moldable (Especially considering 1.17 is gonna be another breaking update, and 1.18 will have even more significant changes, albeit some of which could be useful for the Aether)(edited)
- but its for the forge version, so im not sure
Replying toSweepSwapwere you using the 1.14 snapshot code from the unfinished fabric port?
The original code I contributed was from a private archive I was maintaining on 1.14.x for the AetherWhen the original port of Aether Legacy Fabric was canned (At the time for the 1.14 snapshots, and 1.13.2), I took a copy and maintained it in private until 1.14.4 (After which was when the archival code for it took a dive in quality and I had less time to maintain it). Later 1.16 rolled around and I lended the archive as a resource to be used to boost this project's efforts (Which worked for some areas, but others needed rewrites since the archive code pretty much became playdoh in 1.16)(edited)Replying toAzzyypaaras1.18 is going to annihilate biome code I am betting on it
I mean tbf, most of the systems they are going to use for part 2 are already added to 1.17, it's mostly going to be unforseen systems they'll be adding in 1.18As since they have more time, they can look back and say "Hm, atm this does <x> but would look better to do <y>. To do that though, we need a system that does <a>, which while <b> might suffice, it wouldn't live up to expectations" and adjust systems from thereReplying toCrackers0106I can't find where they put the generation code in the modern forge port
Also, to answer this question, it's in a similar location to this port: https://github.com/Gilded-Games/The-Aether/tree/1.16/src/main/resources/data/aether Both re-located to json, as the 1.14-era chunkgenerator, as mentioned, falls apart in 1.16+Replying toSweepSwapi think they exist in the code just with double slashes
Yes they do exist, I've uncommented all that stuff out and added their recipes. However trying to craft skyroot sticks still results in vanilla sticksEverything else seems to be working fine though besides the holystone tool durabilityReplying tocr24Oh i meant on the texture theres no code yet
Have fun btw, it's hell to get it working. I'm trying to port tropicraft and it's going not so good- its a bit long cos it goes through the project history and common criticisms and how we'd like to address them etc but yhthe main section is a runthrough of the mod's planned content
- Yeah I think it still might be one of our goals but honestly I feel kinda shit tying stuff like that to monetary stuffthe Patreon is in need of an overhaul but Im not too fussed as it covers the development bills so farI dont do this for money 😂 idk how anyone could enjoy modding if they were doing it for profitlol
- I agree with that! My primary and pretty much sole reason for modding (On both Minecraft and other games) is solely because with each mod, I want to address something the community is missing (A lot has been done in modding/addon content, and I like to touch on unique things). The other reason is that it teaches me lessons in my programming skills and working with others well (Most of my work has always been solo, and personally I'm trying to do some more team stuff and branch out more to other games aswell)
- for me its always been a creative outlet, something that challenges my skillset (both artistically, design wise and management wise) as well as the experience of fostering a community around something being super positive (mooost of the time)Ive definitely encountered and worked with people who see this stuff as a business firstand for a long time GG itself was very career driven which just sucked all the life from it imobut yeah genuinely just do what we do as a passion projectand maintain Aether 1 for the fans too obvs
- Indeed, at the end of the day, nothing makes me happier then seeing others loving what creators put out, and creators doing things both for passion and to push the limits of what we can do with the tools we have. Even in just the 3 years I've been modding, I've learned so much, both good and bad, as well as expanded my skillset far beyond what I thought I could personally achieve. And notably I can say the same for GG as well 😄
