Does it generate anywhere other than in ravines?

Looks like all underground lava still generates, but nothing found above ground.

[Slind14]

can't be prevented with biome tweaker would need a custom mod unless one exists already

[TheIcyOne]

Lava doesn't generate in the nether, at least.

[Slind14]

hmm, I remember a discussion with the biome tweaks dev regarding the lava and that isn't possible with biome tweaker due to the way it generates. but that was more than half a year ago.

[drz2k]

It would be very heavy (on the already heavy) worldgen to improve this. So i found a settings that was okay for me in terms of heavy worldgen and left lava blocks.
It works this way : BT checks for x times in each chunk if block xyz is lava, then replaces it. You COULD set this to something like 5.000.000 but the worlgend would become way too heavy.
Thoo the lava lake in the screenshot above looks a bit "much" compared to my original worldgen.

[TheIcyOne]

That looks like vanilla's underground lava generation, which should be cancellable using Forge's event bus system.

Reika made a mod for changing cave and underground dungeon gen.

It was called "cave control"

https://sites.google.com/site/reikasminecraft/cave-control maybe we should add either this or an other mod if lava shoudnt spawn in the overworld it could also help with the mineshaft issue

[johnfg2610]

how do we get hold of reika?

[Slind14]

might be worth doing a benchmark first, if it doubles worldgen time or even worse, probably best not to use it. @bookerthegeek is in contact with reika

[bookerthegeek]

I can check biome tweaker, it should be doable. Cave control requires dragon API @Slind14 so I don't know if that would work. If it would it will work.

I'll check biome tweaker tonight.

[bookerthegeek]

Cave control works perfectly. Also solves #216

I'll go ask for perms if you want to use it. We can also use it to disable Dungeons and strongholds.

(This requires Dragon API..... so no cauldron unless someone can work a miracle.)

Before & After

Not benchmarked, but no noticeable difference in amount of time to start a singleplayer world.

[johnfg2610]

Doesn't work with kcauldron?

[bookerthegeek]

Not really. But we could add it anyways.

• Client side won't matter as clients with it can connect to servers without it.
  • Will work for singleplayer games and gen the world correctly.
• Server side, Worlds can be Generated on Forge, then disable the mod(s) after all the Pregen then switch the server to Cauldron.
  • We don't need it after the world is generated.

[Slind14]

MrWisski has been using Dragon API v14 on a cauldron server without issues, if it is only v15 and those features existed back in v14, we could use that.

[bookerthegeek]

They exist on both. I'll go ask for permissions to include it in the pack.

[johnfg2610]

thanks booker :)

[SirStudMuffin]

Pi said he could do it with 3 lines of code

[bookerthegeek]

True. But this will allow us the possibility of adding other mods such as expanded Redstone, and void monster. :)

I think I'll talk to Pi tonight about the three lines of code.

[johnfg2610]

expanded Redstone is nice i was reading his what not to say section earlier so funny :P

[bookerthegeek]

Right?

[johnfg2610]

any update on getting perms?

[johnfg2610]

https://sites.google.com/site/reikasminecraft/approved-modpacks im guessing we got perms then?

[tyler489]

Yeah. Ask if we can change recipys if we add a disclaimer tooltip

[johnfg2610]

we only need cave control atm

[johnfg2610]

where can we get version 14 from?

[knoxz]

you could use my mod and replace all the lava source blocks with blood or anything else. you would end up with close to no lava.
Cant retrogen that though ;-)
