Replying toHaven KingI very much like those textures!
Thank you! I worked real hard on making that, what you're looking at is a cube with a configurable texture that can be set to any block even if they're from other mods. Then there's another cube with the exact same position, rotation, size, etc. except this one is inflated by 0.01 and has a configurable gradient texture. This way I: A. don't have to make a custom texture for every crop, occasionally I might have to make a different color of gradient but that's it. B. I don't have to include someone else's block textures in my own mod as I can just tell the block model to take its texture directly from <insert_mod_here> itself.The only thing that I will need to do is create custom block textures for any item that doesn't normally have a block form- I'm wondering, I haven't seen stuff like the freezer, incubator or enchanter yet, are those planned to be implemented as well?And maybe it's a bit too early to ask, but do you think you'd be using JSON for their recipes? (similar to how many other mods are using JSON for their Alloying/Grinding machines for example)(edited)
Replying to〘⚔〙am allowed to ask for link for that mod so as to add alongside my pack with the aether…
Next beta release will probably in next 2 to 4 days- Probably. The plan is to implement most if not all features present in the original Aether.
- Yes, JSON will be used for the recipes.
- if anything in terms of terrain gen is going to get screwed over then I expect it to be similar to what happened to the end in the latest snapshot: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/688863150337949777/826874242523856946/unknown.pngBut again only if The Aether makes uses of a bunch of variables and functions directly from the end generation code. But it's too different from the end for that to be the case

I am very interested to know what on earth a JSON "fetish" is, lol I never liked JSON files from the moment MC started using them, can't imagine anyone having anything even remotely positive with JSONs, lol(edited)I mean it does have a few upsides to itBut there's more cons than pros, lol(edited)- For my own mod each seed requires a certain tier of essence in its recipe and I love it if I could automatically generate a recipe with the exact essence tier required. Now I have to constantly go back and forth between Windows Explorer and VSCode double checking all recipes and still missing a lot of themback in 1.7.10 I could've done it like that
Replying toeydisxxi am just amazed to listen, how u all discuss about coding.
fun fact, this isn't even a complex conversation- I tend to lose track of what's going on when I see tons of different libraries functions and variables from different API's all mixed up together. I can't even begin to look at what's going onAnd thus I'll never be a good coder, but I'll do what I can and if that results in a mod that people enjoy, then I'm happy

Wisteria doesn't seem to be generating, but I can fix that. What else is broken?Replying toHaven KingI can reload biome, feature, and even dimension configurations without restarting the…
I applaud you, you have saved yourself five seconds- Sincerely I can sum up the reason why I don't like json in one sentence. I cannot justify spending time and effort setting up ally my generation through json, which is much harder and... sincerely plainly uglier to work with than straight java code, and in many cases feels more limiting, when few to no modded players will ever actually use the ability to configure worldgen
- Because that is the main thing I see, there is a minuscule chance some modpack some time will decide to do custom biomes using datapacks. However the occurrences of such will be so far and few inbetween that it is just not worth it in my eyes. This is not vanilla where the only choice for customization are datapacks, if someone wants to customize stuff and they are a modpack maker they can just code an addon.To me, they most certainly do not.
Replying toAzzyypaarasTo me, they most certainly do not.
And that's fair, it's a matter of opinion 🤷♂️Doesn't mean I won't argue with you about it 😛It would be awesome if there was an IntelliJ plugin that read codecs and validated your JSON files 👀Replying toAzzyypaarasI applaud you, you have saved yourself five seconds
You have a very fast computer 👀Aether is already so big that it is compiling 4 minutes for meAnd then Minecraft is loading another 5
