Biome Builder gives the player the ability to create Minecraft's biomes and structures, wherever they want.
Insipired by Terraria's mechanic of "placing down a number of specific blocks turns the area into a particular biome/structure", the mod adds two types of new blocks: Biome Anchors and Structure Anchors.
-Biome Anchors-
Step One
To build a biome using the Biome Anchor, simply interact with the biome anchor and select a biome of your choice.
Step Two
Then, fill in the requirements by placing required blocks within the biome anchor's range:
- Vertical Range: 12 blocks above and below the anchor. (Configurable!)
- Horizontal Range: The chunk the biome anchor is placed in, visible by pressing F3 + G.
Step Three
Upon fulfilling the requirements, hit build to convert that chunk into the selected biome.
Be watchful of the requirements: Some biomes require a minimum/maximum elevation!
-Structure Anchors-
Structure Anchors function similarly to biome anchors, but they have an additional requirement:
At least 3 directly adjacent chunks (North/East/South/West) must be a biome that the structure requires. If there are more than 2 biomes within a single chunk, it will only detect the biome of the center block (8, X, 8).
An Activated Structure Anchor causes the chunk and 24 blocks above & below it to count as a particular minecraft structure (Vertical Range is Configurable!). Example: Ocean Monuments- the area will spawn Guardians, Nether Fortresses spawn Blazes and Wither Skeletons, etc.
-IMPORTANT RULES-
This mod is made with skyblock in mind, but can be used in any world. In the mod is a built-in function for worlds to generate with only one biome, plains (off by default). It is up to the player to find ways to build and restore biomes to their world. (Configurable!)
Biome and Structure Anchors cannot be within the range of another.
Certain biomes and structures can become avalible by crafting higher tier anchors. (Configurable!)
