Allow pack makers to turn CoFH World objects into Mystcraft pages
I'd like to be able to create interesting CoFH world objects and then tell Mystcraft to use them as pages. This would allow pack makers to create some truly incredible worlds. CoFH world supports things like stalactites, underground geodes filled with liquids, ores only on the sides of caves and massive, sparse ore veins.
There are a lot of possibilities. As a pack maker, I'd like to create a few dozen interesting CoFH world objects and let players create new Mystcraft worlds using them.
Some things to consider:
-
I think it would be easier to make an entire file work as a page, rather than a specific object. This would let pack makers create several similar objects, such as geodes containing different ores.
-
CoFH World lets you create structures out of a specific block. I'd like to be able to choose a default block type, but let players change it by adding a block page. For example, I could create a stalactites page that create stone stalactities by default. If a player adds an obsidian page before the stalactites page, it would be made out of obsidian instead.
-
This would most likely require CoFH World to add something on their side. This shouldn't be too difficult since you can already reload world generation during run time. CoFH would need to be told to make a set of objects generate in a specified dimension. I'm not a developer, though, so that's just an educated guess.
CoFH is the team that makes mods such as Thermal Expansion. CoFH World is their world gen mod. Github: https://github.com/CoFH/CoFHWorld Documentation: https://teamcofh.com/docs/cofh-world/world-generator-configuration/
According to their about page, CoFH stands for "Cult of the Full Hub".
It's a mod that lets you add world generation features to the world using JSON files. These can be things like stalactites, boulders, trees, ores that only generate on cave walls, spikes and geodes.
It's incredibly powerful and configurable. There's a great Reddit post with tons of examples and screenshots here. Check that out to see what the mod is capable of.
