finally I'm free from porting hell, time to actually add new content
DakotaSpine✨17:48
Ooooo exciting! What do you have planned?~ :>

cr24Team17:49
I'll be revamping some of the biomes to not use the basic tree shapes, and adding some new ore/decoration features to make them a bit more interesting. Likely a new mob and items/block to go with it and it's drops, a rework of the vaults to be more expansive (and interesting lol), and I've got some new loot items and craftable blocks planned.
17:53
there's a lot that has just been the same for every minor patch I've done while updating to MC versions that I am unhappy with. The trees feel very 'overworld-y' and not quite distinct enough for my liking and there is absolutely a lack of mobs in the dimension at the moment which makes it feel empty that I'd like to address with the next update primarily and while I'm at it I can sneak in some goodies like fun items/gear and decoration blocks

Interesting! Any mob that introduces drops or blocks should aim to fill some sort of niche, I think. Or even create foundation for new ones I'm curious as to what sort of features you'd like to see Paradise bring. And what you envision for progression on the whole
17:56
I just generally enjoy hearing about your vision for the whole thing, you have fun ideas :>
- ❤️1
cr24Team17:56
and i'm totally open to discussion about current features and ideas for future ones so if something cool comes up I might throw that into the next update too
DakotaSpine✨17:56
I may grab the mod just to run through and see what there is again :>
cr24Team17:57
No big spoilers yet on the mob that 100% will be in the update but it'll be a passive farmable-type mob like cows/pigs/sheep in the overworld
DakotaSpine✨17:59
Good for farming meat for Moas I presume!
cr24Team18:04
maybe, I'm not 100% sure I like the fact that moas drop meat lol but otherwise there's no mob food source in Paradise
I may rework that moa stat into something else and replace their meat drops with edibles drops for new mobs
kinda weird that you can tame moas with raw moa meat
I'll have some concept art/teasers soonish once I have everything fully laid out though

really enjoy seeing this "new" (I know the mod has trying differenciate for years lol but I think the latest patches made it for more appearing) direction come to life since it's not an aether clone/fork at all anymore and really developed into it's own thing with very cool and creative ideas(edited)

Replying tocr24No big spoilers yet on the mob that 100% will be in the update but it'll be a passive…
Ohhh nice
Builderdog18:24
Although I have feeling something went wrong in the last update though lol
(this is a highlands forest)
cr24Team18:24
yeah that looks wrong...
by last you mean 2.2.6 1.21.x?
Builderdog18:25
yeah
I'm playing on 1.21.1
maybe something went wrong although that woul definitely be quite odd
the log also doesn't say anything of missing id's or something
maybe that one tree shape change borked something up?
cr24Team18:26
what's the seed for the world?
(do /seed)
Builderdog18:27
the only trees that do work are mottled skyroot trees
as someone who does quite a lot of worldgen coding in mc this is especially odd since I've seen that happen before lol
cr24Team18:28
lol can you paste the seed into this chat
Builderdog18:28
maybe some sort of generation predicate failed?
Builderdog18:28
Replying tocr24lol can you paste the seed into this chat
sure

I did change some block tags but this seems like something else

Builderdog18:29
the Highlands Thicket Trees also seem to somewhat work if that helps
also kinda curios, how are the trees coded, do they use foliage placers or are a seperate feature or are they a new system entirely?
cr24Team18:32
they use vanilla foliage and trunk placers
wisteria have a custom trunk and foliage placer and mottled aurel has a custom trunk placer
Builderdog18:33
huh odd then
also can't seem to find anything wrong with the code
cr24Team18:34
ah shoot I figured it out, it was a tag problem thanks for letting me know
Builderdog18:34
ah a classic, good that it was an easy fix

cr24Team18:50
@Builderdog mind testing with the release I just published lol?
D
DakotaSpine✨18:51
Minerals being surrounded by other "minerals" is a very cute feature, Levita rocks
- 😁1
Also I imagine it goes without saying, but I found a totally empty Highlands Forest as well
cr24Team18:53
yeah I borked something with the block tags but it's fixed in 2.2.7 if you download that instead
DakotaSpine✨18:53
I cannot seem to plant Saplings on Highland Grass
cr24Team18:54
yup that was the problem, trees are placed based on if the saplings can be planted on the blocks
please download 2.2.7 to have the full experience of "Paradise with trees"
DakotaSpine✨18:56
On it :>
Rootcaps could maybe be bonemealable? Or grow naturally on these logs
Any way to renew them, they're pretty
Builderdog19:08
Replying tocr24@Builderdog mind testing with the release I just published lol?
yeah gimme a sec
DakotaSpine✨19:08
The trees, they're real again
Also, making these little noodles is super cute

Builderdog19:12
ye everything seems fine now thankfully

DakotaSpine✨19:14
Using "Pick Block" on Blackcurrant Bushes gives you Sweet Berries
cr24Team19:16
nooooo
im probably not going to patch just for this but i though i fixed this after it broke in my 1.21 update but i guess not 🙃
DakotaSpine✨19:36
Malt Sprigs have some z fighting
Shamrocks have those too
cr24Team19:38
hm these probably shouldnt have random xz offsets
DakotaSpine✨19:42
I think removing the random offset wouldn't hurt, yeah
Maybe a slightly random y offset would be fine but otherwise
Wait what the heck, shamrocks slow you down?
cr24Team19:45
yeah they do im not sure i like that either, that has been that way for a long time
DakotaSpine✨19:47
I'm just flying around seeing the sights. I think i've taken in just about everything, I am just gonna spitball totally off the dome
I think a "Humidifier" or something would be cute. Block, or source that causes little cloud platforms to spawn and rise before they disappear. Might be cute to do that for like, a hot spring structure or minibiome
Some sort of cloud "balloons" you can equip to increase your jump height and slow your fall speed would be really cute. The music here is so pretty, it would be so fun to feel weightless jumping around Paradise
Flaxweave could maybe have an extra use or two, I think. A Paradise equivalent to Leather Armor; while making some pretty, buttery yellow clothing, would be really cute I think
Dyeable like Leather Armor as well
Flowering Gale Grass seems to have some z fighting on the item sprite
Somehow, now sure how that works

cr24Team19:52
okay the humidifier idea is actually genius i have a crazy idea for it
- 👀1
DakotaSpine✨19:53
The Pink Sporecap clings to the top of the item box since it hangs upside down, like how other mushroom items cling to the bottom of the item box. But it does make actually holding it look kinda funky
DakotaSpine✨19:53
Replying tocr24okay the humidifier idea is actually genius i have a crazy idea for it
You've already got pretty fantastic "moving block" physics with Levita :>
cr24Team19:53
I think all of the mushrooms could use unique inventory sprites
for the humidifer though, could have it produce temporary slow floating cloud blocks that dissipate at a certain height, and have a redstone companion block that produces a cloud when powered by redstone and could be used for elevators. redstone input signal strength would determine how high they float
DakotaSpine✨19:55
It'd be cute if they could be giant too; the mushrooms
cr24Team19:55
id been thinking about that and make them more easy to farm
DakotaSpine✨19:55
Replying tocr24for the humidifer though, could have it produce temporary slow floating cloud blocks…
Oooo yes! That's precisely what I had imagined
cr24Team19:59
flaxweave definitely could use some more purposes
armor would work, and allow for countering the powder snow in the snowy biome
DakotaSpine✨20:00
Ooo. That lines up really nicely I think
It's kind of a rare material, but it'd rock if you could craft four "Metamorphic Bricks" with four Metamorphic Shell
Interesting generation quirk
cr24Team20:04
what about having flaxweave only craft boots but those boots basically have free feather falling 4?
yeah thats part of the way vanilla deltas generate and I didnt want to make a whole new feature, perhaps I should just modify the delta feature itself...
DakotaSpine✨20:14
I don't imagine the grass in here is intentional
Also these Nitra Bunches make me think. It would be cute if these could be set off by Nitra Bulbs. Throw one in and set off these explosive to clear our the enemies some
cr24Team20:22
yeah the grass isnt "supposed" to be in there but as a result of having it be a valid planting surface for the shield biome it happens
you are helping a lot with this btw lol
DakotaSpine✨20:25
Oh? Glad you find it helpful, i'm just having fun looking around :>
The Nitra Bulb explosions are a little dramatic, it makes it pretty hard to see what you're doing if there are enemies around
They could use a little sound effect too I think
cr24Team20:33
i need some sounds, envoys should be mixed with chime sounds, and nitra should be a crunchier explosion like a bell pepper crush sound
those particles are a bit big
DakotaSpine✨20:45
These two may work

Fuck this one in particular
I'm not holding a redstone torch ignore that
DakotaSpine✨21:10
I want to be able to feed Glazed Amadrys Loaf to Moas. I wanna make sweet treats for my birds
DakotaSpine✨21:18
Oh my God the berry pie is a Farmer's Delight thing. I forgot you can't make anything with them in Vanilla
I was gonna say like "You should have Blackcurrant Pie like with Sweet Berries" but that's not actually a thing
DakotaSpine✨21:39
Giant mushrooms would indeed be very cute I think
I also think it would be fun if there was a cloud you could craft that isn't naturally generating. Like a cloud that flings you in one horizontal direction, and would synergize well with blue clouds
I also just realized that blue clouds work sort of like slime blocks, in that if you bounce off of them from higher up, they launch you higher than they normally would. That's awesome
