World Generation General

[upbeat barn]

Yes.

[fringe junco]

Awesome. Thanks!

The docs didn’t have any detailed information on the distribution types that I could find, so I appreciate it

Found it!

[fringe junco]

Does query.noise or similar work in features?

[upbeat barn]

Yes.

[fringe junco]

Yippee!! I would have just tried it myself but I’n out right now. Good to know, I will be employing that soon

[acoustic horizon]

Can I put random loot in structures with pots?

[upbeat barn]

Yes.

[acoustic horizon]

happi

Thanks!

[fringe junco]

Is it possible to use jigaws to any capacity outside of experimental? Asking to try and get proc gen structures in stable

[upbeat barn]

No.

[fringe junco]

Rip, okay

Fortunately I had a genius idea to avoid having to use jigsaws to some extent

[old idol]

am i dumb or noise_params just doesnt work
For ocean biomes

[fringe junco]

Is heightmap projection not working on template pools?

I got an error saying that "projection: this member was found in the input, but was not present in the Schema"

even though Microsoft docs clearly put projection in the schema and example for 1.21.20

[upbeat barn]

Needs to be outside of the object not inside in 1.21.90

[fringe junco]

AWESOME thank you

[fringe junco]

So, the "target pool" is what should CONNECT to the the jigsaw structure, while the "target name" is what pool the structure itself is... in? I'm a bit confused by the distinction

This is after having watched the minecraft creator explanation video, which fast forwarded through the part that confused me the most lmfao

[subtle plinth]

Target pool is the template pool the jigsaw block searches in for a file with a jigsaw block with its name field matching the 1st jigsaws target name

[tight relic]

can I get some help regarding feature and feature rules with ores. The only output log issue I have is that my feature file isnt defined for some reason

[fringe junco]

Can you send the feature file?

[winter fossil]

Has anyone ever got height range to work? When I include it the surface adjustments don't work.

"minecraft:surface_material_adjustments": { "adjustments": [ { "materials": { "top_material": "minecraft:gravel", "sea_floor_material": "minecraft:gravel" }, "height_range": [ "variable.sea_level - 3", "variable.sea_level + 2" ], "noise_frequency_scale": 0.03125, "noise_range": [ -1.0, -0.4 ] }, ] },

[fringe junco]

What'd be a good alternative to using a Conditional List?

I could see an Aggregate List with first_failure, but I don't know if a Scatter with 0 iterations is counted as a failure or not

[subtle plinth]

i hope we can make custom map icons and better structure maps soon

[fringe junco]

So where all can molang be used in features? Can it be used in single block features to determine the block placed?

It seems highly unlikely, but if it's possible it'd save me a hell of a lot of trouble. Thankfully, I have an alternative

[upbeat barn]

How do you propose doing that? Why not use randomized feature.

[fringe junco]

Something like altering "places_block": "bedrock" to be like "places_block": "logic ? 'bedrock' : 'stone'",

[upbeat barn]

That shouldnt work as far as I know as places block expects a block descriptor.

[fringe junco]

Alright! It was just a theory to save me from doing the conditional list alternative shenanigans

It wasn't for randomization, I'm trying to query other stuff

[jaunty kestrel]

how do you do a feature like pumpkin and melon patches?

[stuck haven]

Any chance to ask about how to replace vanilla trees? Been looking around in here but wasn’t able to find much about it. Any chance someone could explain it or link me to some resources? I know how to add new trees through features but im trying to replace the vanilla ones. Not add extra 🙏🏼

[undone junco]

you have to get the feature of the tree and edit it directly
This is the file with all the vanilla features and feature rules so you can easily get the ids and the sameples for building trees
#1324376503848275980

[stuck haven]

You’re a legend! Thank you so much @undone junco

[hearty laurel]

huh

minecraft:?Editor=ture this is the way to open the Editor right?

weird why it doesnt work for me

[upbeat barn]

You mispelled true

[hearty laurel]

OH

oh f

[hearty laurel]

tysm ❤️

[lyric olive]

hey budd, where can i find the vanilla biomes ids?
bec for some reason i cant detect the mushroom island biome using my entity filters, the same is happening for other biomes as well, am i writing the wrong id or it basically doesnt work?
-# sorry for the ping sir SkibiStack

[upbeat barn]

The MC Wiki.

[lyric olive]

i got them from there i believe

the 'mushroom_island' one doesnt work, like the entity is not detecting the biome

like this: "filters":{"any_of":{"test":"has_biome_tag","operator":"==","value":"mushroom_island"}}, doesnt work for some reason

[upbeat barn]

There's no mushroom_island tag. It's mooshroom_island

[lyric olive]

huh?! ig the wikis are kinda wrong here

[lyric olive]

in that case, where can i find the correct tags? bec there are some biomes i cant detect based on the tags from the wiki's

[lyric olive]

i am trying to detect cold biomes, the wiki made me realise that i should just do 'cold' instead of writing all biomes by hand

[undone junco]

#1324376503848275980

Biome tags are in every biome file

[lyric olive]

thanks, i will be modifying the vanilla biomes anyway (in a DLC pack) so i need to make some of the vanilla biomes ungeneratable

[limber jewel]

how optimized are q.noise calls? are they cached?

since it doesn't use the world seed, i'm assuming it's just doing a lookup from an already generated noise field

[fringe junco]

I’ve never experienced drops, but I also have not properly benchmarked the difference

Does the vanilla swamp not have a swamp tree feature rule? Ive been looking for over 2 hours but i am not able to find the vanilla swamp tree feature rule anywhere 😬

[subtle plinth]

You forgot to add the projection value to all the entries it seems

You have element_type and location but forgot projection

I believe projection is in there as of the previews of 1.21.100

This is one I use

Projection is moved inside with the other three in 1.21.100

[last tinsel]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/definitions/nestedtables/biome_filter?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

The official documentation is so difficult to find things in isn't it 🤦 I happened to have just found it and bookmarked it

Despite the name, it actually has all the tags listed as well. Official documentation is usually trying to be helpful but has some difficulty with considering what information people who are learning might need to look up, and it's so hard to search. (Especially on mobile.)

Also has trouble linking to definitions of concepts, so you're just reading something and thinking: okay what is that and where do they talk about it, if at all?

Hopefully that list is up to date. There's also this which should be up to date but it's slightly different info about tags. https://mojang.github.io/bedrock-samples/Biomes.html

[lyric olive]

a little too late bec i already found the biome tags and i already finished the filter,

[acoustic horizon]

How can I load structures with walls and fences that don't connect to structure voids? Is there any workaround or tool for this problem?

[last tinsel]

Yeah hopefully it helps the next person searching.

[fringe junco]

My only fix so far has been to omit the structure void from around those blocks. Once Jigsaws are stable I think you can actually use the carver to help alleviate the issue

[sour carbon]

Is the gaussian distribution based on radial distance from the center of the extent? Meaning does it end up circular or like a square with more concentration at the center?

[fair ridge]

Is it possible currently in bedrock to add new dimensions?

Or is there not yet a support for it, other than using scripts

[upbeat barn]

No.

[fair ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/эх-gif-14350346951495851932

[sly forge]

the only workaround is not placing structure voids next to them

this bug was supposedly fixed more than once yet here we are

[acoustic horizon]

Of course

Why would connectable blocks connect to void in the first place?

[sly forge]

no clue

mojang fucked something up when they made the structure voids is all i can say

[haughty gull]

You can still make a mock-up, you can create the terrain with features

[oblique narwhal]

Do Bedrock worlds have some kind of stored registry of custom biome IDs? I'm trying to add a new biome to my add-on by copy/pasting one that already exists and giving it a new ID, but it keeps giving me the error Loaded client biome but no biome with that name exists

Modifying the one that already exists works just fine.

[upbeat barn]

Does your biome have both client and server file?

[oblique narwhal]

Yeah it does.

And they are suffixed.

And the names match.

Well that's weird. I just renamed the first biome called test_biome to testing_biome, and both seem to exist in the world registry.

[upbeat barn]

As in you can do /locate biome?

[oblique narwhal]

Yeah both test_biome and testing_biome appear in the /locate biome autocomplete.

But only testing_biome can be found.

[upbeat barn]

Does the server file have a namespace and the client does not? What version?

[oblique narwhal]

1.21.94

Server has a namespace and the client doesn't, yes.

The only thing I changed in attempting to make another biome was the ID.

But what's so weird is that renaming the one biome somehow worked but making a new one didn't.

Okay now I am extra confused. I just removed the new one and renamed the testing one into the name of the new one, and now it works.

Is there an issue with multiple replacement biomes trying to replace from the same base biome?

[upbeat barn]

No.

So let me see if you get this right:
BP:
biome_name.biome.json
Identifier has namespace:biome_name
Targets biome does not have namespace
RP:
biome_name.client_biome.json
Identifier has biome_name only, no namespace

[oblique narwhal]

That is correct.

[upbeat barn]

Have you tried making a new world?

[oblique narwhal]

Is there a character limit on custom biome names? I switched the name from one 5 characters long to one 17 characters long and it no longer loads.

[upbeat barn]

I have not had this issue.

[oblique narwhal]

I've not made a new world, no.

[upbeat barn]

That I do not know.

[oblique narwhal]

Lemme try that.

New world, same error.

Okay and now the biome is no longer loading, after renaming it and renaming it back.

But it loads on the first world but not the second.

Oh wait I forgot to turn on experiments for the second world. lol

Okay so making a new world with the experiments on seems to make it load.

Seems like Bedrock resists having biomes added to an existing world.

Figure I may as well add the files for every biome I plan to add all at once to save the headache then.

[civic gazelle]

what does branch_interval in tree features do?

[dense quail]

According to the documentation: Randomized distance between branches

[civic gazelle]

Thanks!!! Can you link me the doc?

[hard gazelle]

What’s the problem?

[civic gazelle]

Heyo, can anyone tell me whether variables defined in one feature are accessible in the feature it places?

[upbeat barn]

Yes.

[civic gazelle]

damn awesome, thanks for the quick reply, could you also tell me whats the difference between worldx and originx variables, does worldx hold the location of the feature rule from the start - and originx the location of the placement by the parent feature?

[upbeat barn]

Correct.

[civic gazelle]

noice, thanks for the help

[velvet spade]

How far apart or how many in relation to the height i do believe

[civic gazelle]

Im noticing on sone vakues i end up having all branches point the same way, i don't think its the distance between branches though, maybe something with angles?

[fast palm]

When will jigsaws become stable for god sake?

[subtle plinth]

I think they are working on making them stable

[dull timber]

Where is the tutorial in the jigsaw structures?

[dense crow]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/structures/introductiontojigsawstructures?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[dull timber]

Thanks

[civic gazelle]

Why is there a syntax error when my feature names have folder paths in them and i try to place it using /place

[upbeat barn]

You need to wrap it in "quotes"`

Though, there might still be the bug where /place does not work with subfolders.

[civic gazelle]

god dammit this game sometimes...

who the hell develops this

[royal ruin]

Terrain-matching jigsaw pieces in the jungle biome seem to overlap with the trees... is this fixable? has anyone else encountered this issue?

[subtle plinth]

I have it on one structure and I haven’t been able to figure out why but I suspect changing the generation step to generate before trees would work

[royal ruin]

It doesn't fix, even when step is set to raw_generation

[civic gazelle]

     "x": {
        "distribution": "uniform",
        "extent": [0, 16]
      },
      "y": "query.heightmap(variable.worldx, variable.worldz)",
      "z": {
        "distribution": "uniform",
        "extent": [0, 16]
      }

ir extent here inclusive of the 16 - should it be 16 or 15 if im covering the entire chunk?

the docs have conflicting infor and examples

[strong tendon]

Should be 0-15 I think since 1 chunk is only 16 blocks

[civic gazelle]

on the wiki it says that the second number is exclusive, not inclusive

but then they use 0-15 elsewhere

[strong tendon]

According to this, it's inclusive

Is it possible to only generate a structure on top of certain blocks when the facing_direction is random? I could check all 4 quadrants and test the supporting blocks for each, but a single failure might cancel the whole placement.

[silent aurora]

guys, i there a way to make a jigsaw structure generate in blocks? i'm trying to make an underground structure, i don't want to use terrain matching so the structure was berried or encapsulated, i need to generate in blocks, but so there was a chance that the structure will look out slightly into the cave for example

kind of like the deep dark shack from MC live 2020

[misty valley]

Has anyone else’s custom biomes broke with the new update?

[upbeat barn]

Did you update the biome file?

They changed some things.

[misty valley]

Do I just need to update the format version to 1.21.100?

[upbeat barn]

Read the changelogs.

[misty valley]

Ok will take a look at them now thanks

[misty valley]

Part of it is working again I can see my biomes on the Locate biome command. Was there a change to the replace biomes component?

[upbeat barn]

No, there is a change to the surface builder.

[misty valley]

Ok will try to work with it now thanks

[misty valley]

should be like this now right?

[upbeat barn]

Yep.

[misty valley]

Nice

[fair ridge]

Will they be an isolated space from the overworld entirely?

Is there any guide for me to start with?

How about rules like no mob spawning or the nether's water evaporating when placed

[strong tendon]

Is this the intended behavior of sequence feature? According to the docs:

Fails if Any feature in the sequence fails to be placed. Features that have not yet been placed at the time of failure are skipped.

[upbeat barn]

You need the early_out or whatever its called iirc.

[strong tendon]

It's only available on aggregate feature

I need to use the sequence feature since I need it to fail when one feature is not placed

[upbeat barn]

Use aggergate for that then

There is an early out for first failure

[strong tendon]

Wait true, I'm dumb

[split vault]

Quick questions guys

Is it possible to make a world that only contains one biome.

E.g Only Desert or Ocean will be generated

[sacred meteor]

anyone have the link to the vanilla feature and feature rule git. i need to chage some of the feature.

[sly forge]

not anymore

though that may change soon

[split vault]

Okay ty

[silent aurora]

why though? just use replace biome and insert in every biome in the game to replace, and set the amount to 1

or they've already changed something?

[sly forge]

locked to preview

• theres been a lot of bugs related to doing things like this (there used to be severe lag when using /locate)

[upbeat barn]

It is not locked to preview.

[sly forge]

so it's in stable now?

[upbeat barn]

Stable with Experimental toggle.

[sly forge]

interesting

[sly forge]

do you know if anyone has made a biome-based void pack yet?

[upbeat barn]

Publicly? No.

[sly forge]

damn

because i really need to test something rn

well technically i need a reverse void pack

but a regular one is probably a better idea

[upbeat barn]

What does block_ignore processor mean?

Removes specified blocks from the placed structure. The removed blocks are not replaced by air, but retain the blocks from the world.

[subtle plinth]

I don’t think it exists in bedrock

Just minecraft:rule and maybe minecraft:capped

[upbeat barn]

MS Docs lied then lol.

[subtle plinth]

Yeah

[upbeat barn]

How does one prevent jigsaws from running into each other? Say I have a street with twists and turns but I dont want it overlapping on top of each other. Or houses.

[undone junco]

it should be by default like this, there are fallbacks that should be the closing when a structure cant be placed couse overlaps

[upbeat barn]

Thanks! That was the issue. I presumed fallback was by default.

[upbeat barn]

Hmm, upon further testing I dont think its working too well. There are still instances where they overlap.

[sly forge]

i don’t think bedrock has full implementation of fallback processors just yet

[upbeat barn]

Damn, because the fallback does work it places the structure

[upbeat barn]

Ah it also seems to be an issue with terrain matching

[undone junco]

There is a reason the jigsaw are experimental

[subtle plinth]

Yeah my campsite structure overlaps a lot but none of my other structures overlap other then my custom village which does so a little

[subtle plinth]

Would anyone care for a jigsaw village template

[upbeat barn]

Check #1072983602821861426

[subtle plinth]

I forgot about that 💀

Woodland mansions it is then

[oblique narwhal]

When using features and feature rules in stable, is there any way to get the locations where the features spawned? I don't believe the /locate command works for these features apart from the experimental worldgen features.

[old minnow]

Get the location into what place?

Scripting?

[oblique narwhal]

Scripting preferably. But for now, I'm asking if that information is exposed anywhere.

[tiny idol]

How do I center a structure, for example, with 15x15 blocks, compensating for it to be generated in its center (7x7 block) with feature_rule?

Currently my custom trees generate like this

But I want them to generate like this:

Leave it, I found out how

[upbeat barn]

No.

[subtle plinth]

I hope custom jigsaw locator maps get worked on soon to have custom icons and other things soon

[subtle plinth]

Does this work on bedrock? I’m probably gonna test it soon but just wanted to ask incase anybody already knows

The [type=top] function that is

[subtle plinth]

confirmed

it does work

[upbeat barn]

Is there a way for jigsaws to not rotate?

[subtle plinth]

I don't think so

in terms of the structure being orientated in a random direction like north or south

[upbeat barn]

I also meant like pieces but I couldn't find any way.

[subtle plinth]

well there is that setting in vertically aligned jigsaws that locks pieces to the rotation that the parent jigsaw block is in

[near geyser]

I have a problem with a jigsaw structure. The log says it couldn't find the structure.

[subtle plinth]

is the structure definition file in the worldgen/structures folder?

[near geyser]

Yes.

[subtle plinth]

can i see the file?

[subtle plinth]

i think "biome_filters" is a required field

and "max_distance_from_center"

[near geyser]

Were there any changes in version format between 1.21.90 and 1.21.100 regarding jigsaw structures?

Everything was working fine and I didn't change the code.

[upbeat barn]

jigsaw_structures was changed to structures.

And template pools change a bit.

[near geyser]

Okay, I'll pay attention to the version formats.

Now, I was looking at the game files and found in the experimental_jigsaw_structures package, a file called jigsawstructure[...].dat in worldgen/metadata. What is it for?

[subtle plinth]

i dont think so

[muted sorrel]

im generating fancy oak tree, but some of it get cut off because of the chunk border, how to solve this?

[sly forge]

unfortunately you can't

even just modifying the feature rules slightly does it

it's "intentional"

which i find kinda ridiculous ngl

[muted sorrel]

Theres no solution to this issue? This issue similar to structure that larger than 16x16 getting cut off.

Its literally almost half of the tree get cut off on the chunk transition

[sly forge]

weirdly enough the fix for structure features only works for structure features

[muted sorrel]

What is the solution for the structures one?

[sly forge]

change the distribution from [0, 15] to [-16, -1]

it only works for structures

[upbeat barn]

Is it possible for Jigsaw to gurantee ONE structure piece will spawn during its generation. Say I have ABCDEF, DEF can have multiple but ABC must generate once.

[subtle plinth]

The start_piece

The one the generation starts with

[upbeat barn]

Besides the start piece.

[subtle plinth]

Otherwise no, we would need list_pool_element to do so otherwise

[upbeat barn]

As far as I know you can only have 1 start piece.

[subtle plinth]

Yeah

[upbeat barn]

So this won't work.

[subtle plinth]

I don’t think so no

[upbeat barn]

Ok. 👍

[subtle plinth]

found a critical jigsaw bug

thats not supposed to be there and the jigsaw block that is connected to the parent piece in this structure file has no parent

[sly forge]

is it possible to do something similar to this component except for water instead of air?

i want my single block feature to never touch water for...reasons

[tiny idol]

Why are my trees only generating at the edges of the biome?

[sly forge]

try using jungle instead of the_jungle

i think you're using the incorrect tag

[tiny idol]

Im not

I changed all biome tags for me

[tiny idol]

Look, is generating, but only in the borders

[sly forge]

vanilla jungle biome file says you are

[tiny idol]

.

[sly forge]

use the vanilla tag

also i dont think you can modify tags for vanilla biomes

[tiny idol]

But i changet ALL biomes

The tag is working

That grass is mine

[tiny idol]

.

I changed all the biomes because I don't want to use the vanilla biomes

It's another idea of the universe

[sly forge]

you can modify the top block for vanilla biomes

but as i said

the tags dont work for vanilla biomes

[tiny idol]

But my tags are working

All of them

The problem is in the distribution

[tiny idol]

Look

They are generating, but only in the corners

[sly forge]

the distribution is not the problem

i know for a fact its not

[tiny idol]

I tested it with a vanilla tag. Besides generating vanilla stuff, which I don't want, this problem still persists

[sly forge]

although you should probably be using [0, 15] instead of [1, 16]

[tiny idol]

Hmmmmm

Let me see

But I'm sure it's not a tag problem, as they are all working and generating grass and trees in other biomes

Only in the jungle did this problem occur

Yeah...

Just on the edges

Let me change y

[tiny idol]

Wtf

This problem has recently arisen to be exact

The surface operation is a bit unstable. And to lay the grass, for example, I had to raise it +6

[sly forge]

uhm

changing that should NOT have fixed it...

thats weird

[tiny idol]

Yeah

Format version maybe?

[sly forge]

bugrock being bugrock ig

[tiny idol]

Ok, I found the problem

I forgot this

[silent aurora]

hey guys, so i have a jigsaw structure, and i want to make a specific block generate only 3 times around the structure. is it possible somehow?

i was thinking about processor, and making a caped rule, but this processor with work only on the structure piece i've attached it to in the template pool...

[subtle plinth]

I’m not sure if capped actually works but other then capped I don’t think it is possible

[silent aurora]

okie, will be thinking on something else…

[broken carbon]

Can somebody make an addon that adds alpha world generation to 1.21 please 😂

I believe it would get a decent amount of downloads

At least one...

[sly forge]

you cant get true alpha worldgen on bedrock unfortunately

[austere stratus]

is there a way to make the world generate without bedrock anyone knows about..?

[broken carbon]

I want Minecraft to revert Caves & Cliffs so bad

[subtle plinth]

i think i figured out how to make more mossy cobble generate the further from the structure center the blocks are 🥳

[delicate trench]

Is this jigsaw wizardry?

[subtle plinth]

Yeah

It didn’t seem to work however and I don’t care enough to try to fix it

[winged forge]

Is this good enough for a newbie?

[delicate trench]

what exactly are you trying to do? make a custom biome?

[winged forge]

Yeah

Still learning how to add the features (tree, foliage, etc)

[delicate trench]

Yeah that’s a good start, you’re at ground zero and adding features is a great next step

Keep it up 👍

[upbeat barn]

Is this using features as a biome or custom biomes?

[delicate trench]

Custom biomes

U can kinda tell from the replacement patterns

[winged forge]

Kinda Working on new biome, this is better tbh

Even tho the wildflowers features aren't showing up

[oak cipher]

I need to mess with custom biomes man

hm, ghost ping

did you ping me?

[winged forge]

Yeah because this is peak world gen I ever see

[winged forge]

Yes

[oak cipher]

👀

cool

[winged forge]

Its perfectly what i expected

[broken carbon]

How would I remove villages and certain other structures/biomes entirely from the game? (from the world generation)

[upbeat barn]

You cannot, you will need to override them all by placing air blocks in every chunk.

[broken carbon]

Ty

[austere stratus]

im trying to do exactly this but was trying to do so using a structure (a 16x16 air column up to build height) but have realized that I want to keep some specific blocks as location markers for the pregenerated structures (cauldrons of specific fill level and biome for witch huts, ominous vaults for trial chambers, etc). What would the best feature type be for this case? I was thinking scatter but am not sure..

[upbeat barn]

You would use a scatter feature that places air blocks to replace everything but your specified thing.

[austere stratus]

what kind of feature would be best for the "places_feature" field of the scatter feature file?

[upbeat barn]

Scatter feature that places a single block feature.

[queen scarab]

Are features documented somewhere? And can we see the vanilla features somewhere?

[upbeat barn]

Check the wiki and ms docs.

[sly forge]

could be better

could have features not cut off at chunk borders (MOJAAAANG)

(in case you didn’t understand, when i said it could be better its not to say yours could be better, im saying it would be better if mojang fixed this stupid issue already)

[winged forge]

Oh I know this bug, it's when chunk just sometimes cut the feature right?

[sly forge]

yes

its fixable for structure templates, but nothing else

worst part is, its marked as working as intended

it’s really dumb

[soft junco]

Hey, on bedrock what is the word for default rotation for structure spawning rules?

I realized modded blocks were visually breaking bc the structures were spawning facing in any direction

"facing_direction": "random"

I want to make my structures generate facing the way I built them with my structure block

or do I have to put like EAST, SOUTH, for each structure if I want a specific direction? Is there no word for making it generate the way it was saved?

[upbeat barn]

Yes, north east south west.

[soft junco]

How do you know ingame which way is N E S W

[upbeat barn]

There are numerous ways from using pumpkins or the coordinate system.

The pumpkin stem always points NW

[soft junco]

Ima look up if their is a addon for N E S W xd

or better yet maybe I find the direction, name 4 items the N E S W and place them in my inventory so I know which way is which- or addo

[austere stratus]

What extent, distribution type and number of iterations should I use to replace ALL blocks in a chunk after they generate? anyone? I am using a scatter feature that places a single block feature so that I can exclude CERTAIN blocks specific to structures (like brewing stands in the end to signify location of end ships, things like this)

[austere stratus]

you can look on bedrock tweaks at the nesw lodestone texture, its super helpful, you could just carry one around and place it down to see the cardinal directions.

[austere stratus]

please god.. im going insane.

[queen scarab]

I dont see how the vanilla features work there. I thought they were in the bedrock samples, but I cannot find them.
I am working on a bedrock server software and writing a generator. Having those files would make my life so much easier since some stuff is hard to interpret.
For example what is "minecraft:jungle_after_surface_flowers_feature_rules"??

[sly forge]

is this the correct syntax for a ternary?

t.terrain = (t.terrain < 160) ? (t.heightmap = q.heightmap(v.worldx, v.worldz) + 54) : (q.heightmap(v.worldx, v.worldz) + 59);

[upbeat barn]

Yes.

[sly forge]

yay!

time to see if i get any errors

fingers crossed the world even loads :p

YESSS IT WORKS!!! :DDDD

just gotta fix the cave gen

[sly forge]

ok so

caves are giving me some troubles

theyre cutting off at chunk borders occasionally for some reason, they only started doing this after i moved the cave gen from the heightmap to my custom molang functions

• theyre not listening to my molang function and theyre generating entrances in places they shouldnt be

nvm about the chunk cut issue, i forgot to remove the biome restrictions

[sly forge]

both issues solved

[sly forge]

soooo

how do i offset cave generation locations and the way the caves themselves look? they currently all look pretty similar and repetitive

[austere stratus]

vanilla features arent documented anywhere, there are example features though.

https://github.com/microsoft/minecraft-samples/tree/main/custom_features/example_feature_set/behavior_packs/example_feature_set

[upbeat barn]

Check the windowsapp folder or bds then.

[sly forge]

also wtf is this error? i forgot to post this while i was trying to implement the caves

note that i had to copy the error to clipboard and paste it into the log because it produced a blank log file

[boreal blaze]

Has anyone ran into an issue of being able to locate a custom jigsaw structure properly via the "/locate structure" command, but when teleporting to the coordinates said jigsaw structure is nowhere to be found?

[upbeat barn]

I've rarely had that issue.

[boreal blaze]

I think I figured it out. I guess offsets in the Nether have to be negative as it seems like the structure was previously trying to spawn outside of the dimension borders, lol.

[upbeat barn]

Ah, the nether.

[boreal blaze]

Actually that makes total sense since I was using world_surface as the heightmap projection for structure placement. I guess the roof counts as the "surface" in that case.

[upbeat barn]

If I recall, nether/end jigsaws are bugged. Unless thats been fix, it was atrocious during the first few previews.

[boreal blaze]

That would make sense as well, but it seems like it's working relatively fine now.

[subtle plinth]

That happens when the structure fails to find a place to spawn

[subtle plinth]

Mine generates fine in the end however I’ve not tested the nether just yet

[boreal blaze]

I see, thanks. Now I know what to look for if that happens again.

[subtle plinth]

Yeah

If you put another structure in its structure set the game will try to generate that one if the one it first try’s to generate fails

However it could also choose to select the other one right off the bat

[winged forge]

Does lush cave ponds is a feature?

[misty valley]

Is this what you’re looking for?

https://github.com/llgava/mcbedrock-features/blob/main/1.21/features/clay_pool_with_dripleaves_feature.json

[winged forge]

Yes and thanks, Im gonna use it for the oasis terrace

[misty valley]

Np

[finite quest]

is there a way to make structures spawn naturally but make it have an offset of for example -5

[dense quail]

Add a -5 to your y in the feature rule. You can also achieve that through a scatter before the structure template feature.

[finite quest]

"y": "q.heightmap(v.worldx, v.worldz) - 5"?

or "y": "q.heightmap(v.worldx, v.worldz)" - 5

[finite quest]

also wdym with scatter?

[dense quail]

this

Well it depends on your setup. If you just have a feature rule which places a structure template, adding the -5 in the feature rule is sufficient. If you ofc have a more complex setup e.g. an aggregate which references multiple features, then you should use a scatter feature before your structure template to unsure that only your structure has an offset

[finite quest]

so if its only 1 structure then i can use the - 5 right?

[dense quail]

Yea

[finite quest]

thanks

[finite quest]

also if the structure is larger than 16x16 will it still generate?

because some small structures gets cut because of the chunks

[dense quail]

Set your x and z extent to -16, -1

If you use 0, 15 and it places it at 15, bigger structures will get cut off as feature rules only load 3x3 chunks

[finite quest]

even if the structure is 64x64x64 right?

damn you know too much, thanks

[dense quail]

48x48 is max in size for features as only 3x3 chunks get loaded. Height doesnt matter

[soft junco]

Isnt the default rotation when you load a structure block NORTH? The default rotation of a structure block

or can't I put "rotation: NONE" so it loads as its saved or that isn't possible?

[upbeat barn]

Its south as far as I know.

[soft junco]

Pumpkin stem?

Like the seed?

I just need to figure out the default rotation but I cant find the answer :/

[upbeat barn]

Its south.

[soft junco]

[upbeat barn]

Whats the issue?

[stoic owl]

the blocks spawn randomly in the air without being connected to anything

I though growing plants implicates that they grow from up or down

[upbeat barn]

They do grow up and down. It doesnt imply it needs to be attached. Use snap to surface feature to place your feature

[stoic owl]

I see, thanks

that fixed it :)

[muted sorrel]

hi, i tested this, but my structures still cut off.

so feature rules have this distribution and it will call scatter feature that have same distribution as this.

"x": {
      "distribution": "uniform",
      "extent": [-16, -1]
    },
    "y": 0,
    "z": {
      "distribution": "uniform",
      "extent": [-16, -1]
    },

does coord eval order matter/placement pass matter?
*i have iterations of 12 btw

[upbeat barn]

Set it to [0,15] and set your structure rotation to south instead of random.

Dont call scatter feature for it.

Call the structure feature directly in your feature rule.

[muted sorrel]

does placement pass or coordinate eval order matter?

[upbeat barn]

Eval not that I know but placement pass kind of if you have other features placed that can remove you structures block, like other structures.

[muted sorrel]

@upbeat barnanyway to solve this issue with fancy_oak_tree so i dont need to use structure?

[upbeat barn]

Whats the issue? Why not use that instead of a structure?

[muted sorrel]

it get cut off when chunk transition too

weird

it actually custom tree that use same code as fancy oak tree, just different log and leaves

[stoic owl]

I have a structure feature and a snap to surface feature, but for some reason it will always leave at least one block of air between the ceiling and the structure (I want to create a hanging structure)

I don't use unburied or anything that could clash with it.

The structure is a x:1 y: 2 tall structure no matter where I save the structure it doesn't change anything

[dense quail]

If its always one block just use insert a scatter with y+1 inbetween

[stoic owl]

Is there maybe a better way than structures to generate a block sequence?

Since we have some icicle blocks that are made up of multiple blocks there is the growing_plant but it only really supports 2 blocks

they are made similar to dripstone

[oblique narwhal]

Can a structure feature or feature rule pick from a pool of structures and choose one at random or must it be one feature/feature rule per structure?

[upbeat barn]

Weghted feature

[oblique narwhal]

Ah, so it's one feature per structure, but they can be consolidated using that feature to allow for one feature rule for the whole set.

[stoic owl]

In vegetation_patch_feature when "surface": "ceiling" what does ground_block do?

Is it the block above or below?

[upbeat barn]

Yep.

[oblique narwhal]

Sometimes a feature will spawn a structure at a chunk border and it'll be clipped off. Is there a way to prevent this?

[upbeat barn]

@oblique narwhal .

[oblique narwhal]

Ah, must be the rotator goofing it up then.

[oblique narwhal]

Is it possible to have a biome replacement to replace another custom biome replacement? I'm looking to have a main biome with a child biome inside it.

[upbeat barn]

Should be yes.

I wish we adopted Legends biome system tbh, they had support for sub biomes and birder biomes.

[oblique narwhal]

Drat.
Must replace vanilla biomes only

I'm trying to use a child biome to spawn a particular set of features that I don't want everywhere else in the biome. But I don't want to just have it as a parallel biome since then it would just exist off to the side or in tiny pockets. What'd be the best way to achieve this?

[stoic owl]

How do I force lava to flow when being generated?
Is it some kind of specific render_pass?

[upbeat barn]

Unfortunately not possible.

[stoic owl]

damn

[sly forge]

scatter chance

make them generate less frequently

[oblique narwhal]

I wanted certain features to be clustered together, and I figured having a child biome would be the cleanest way to do that. Although there is a different feature type which seems like it does that.

[sly forge]

weighted random and vegetation patch features can do this when used in combination iirc

i could be wrong

[stoic owl]

Is there a reliable way to generate hanging structures?
I am always facing the issue that when I have a structure that is for example 5 blocks wide and deep it will when snapping not use the topmost centered block leading to a weird placement in air

[spark grove]

But are custom biomes stable?

[upbeat barn]

In 1.21.110 yes.

[spark grove]

So currently, custom biomes can't be created? Do I have to enable the experimental option to see the custom biome?

[upbeat barn]

Yes.

[spark grove]

How do Marketplace addon packs add new biomes, and do they use feature rules to change existing biomes?

[upbeat barn]

Yes.

[spark grove]

But I don't understand how it is possible to achieve this only using feature rules, is the biome present in vanilla completely changed or do the feature rules activate every now and then in the target biomes?

[upbeat barn]

It is just using feature rules to clump features together.

[spark grove]

When should 1.21.110 be released?

[upbeat barn]

Whenever it's ready. We don't know.

[spark grove]

Thanks, then I'll work with the features.

[spark grove]

I'm trying to understand how features work, but I don't understand how the feature_rules function doesn't work as I imagine, I tried via command but it always fails to place an error

[fringe junco]

I've recently tried to upgrade to the newest Custom Biomes format. Since bumping my file versions to 1.21.100, my game has crashed every time without producing any logs.

Does anyone know what may be causing the issue?

Is it because I put namespaces in the biome names???

The documentation being outdated is helping a lot here (Sarcasm)

[austere stratus]

I am doing a skyblock world gen behavior pack and using a scatter feature to place a single block feature 100,000 times in every chunk replaceing every naturally generating block from a block filter list in the single block feature file and I am still getting occational water in the overworld, lava in the nether, and random leaves sometimes, sometimes I get a random glow lichen. I know 100,000 iterations should be overkill but somehow there are still blocks generating here and there, anyone have any idea as to why?

and yes I have all of these these block id's being filtered for. smooth basalt is another one that i get a lot.

ah, and also mineshafts..

[austere stratus]

@upbeat barn Did this ever happen at all with your version? Any idea how to fix? I am using the final pass.

[sly forge]

the water springs can be partially fixed by modifying the water spring feature rule to place your custom air feature instead

vines can be taken care of, but for now its limited to preview, and the way thats done is to replace/remove all vanilla biomes

glow lichen can be fixed the same way as the springs

unfortunately you cannot fix mineshafts, small end islands, or chorus plants

[austere stratus]

dangggg... so im gonna have to find another way..... ok.. well thank you.

[sly forge]

there is no other way

its unfortunate but its true

the only other way relies on simulation distance, which makes things look weird (things disappearing in front of your eyes, etc)

[austere stratus]

haha ok. double dang. thats a huge bummer. really wanted to make an easier way to do skyblock on bedrock:/

[sly forge]

the mineshafts should be removable in the near-to-mid future tho luckily

with jigsaw coming out and stuff, we should be able to modify or outright remove them eventually

[austere stratus]

bless.. wdym near to mid? is there a timeframe or just a 'soon'

[sly forge]

its a soon

nobody actually knows when

[subtle plinth]

Mineshafts aren’t jigsaws so we won’t get the ability to modify them im sure. Java doesn’t have the ability to remove them as far as I’m aware with out mods and they have had jigsaws for much longer

[sly forge]

incorrect

they are jigsaws

theyre just programmed drastically differently

we wont be able to change them until those are updated to the new system

it’s sad that we still can’t disable them though

there’s already a system for disabling all structures on java yet nothing like that exists on bedrock

[subtle plinth]

They are hardcoded structures

Like mansions and woodland mansions

Jigsaws weren’t added until years after mineshafts

They are even older then data mode structure blocks used for woodland mansion generation

[oak cipher]

if you look at the jigsaw structure wiki mineshafts are not mentioned

[subtle plinth]

Yeah

[sly forge]

nor are ruined portals

[oak cipher]

how is that a jigsaw

[sly forge]

it’s a jigsaw

[oak cipher]

im asking how

[subtle plinth]

They aren’t jigsaws because they are features

[sly forge]

it’s weird, but it is one

[sly forge]

on java yes

[oak cipher]

telling me it is one is not explaining how it is one

[subtle plinth]

Actually villages, outposts, and bastions weren’t jigsaws until the type: jigsaw was added

They were structure features

[sly forge]

p sure bastions were always jigsaws on java

[subtle plinth]

Ruined portals are structure features just the three I mentioned were moved to being jigsaw types

[subtle plinth]

They used jigsaw blocks but as different structure configuration types

Mineshafts have always been hardcoded

[oak cipher]

the way mineshafts are generated is similar to how the jigsaw system works, but that does not mean its a jigsaw.

[sly forge]

still jigsaw, just not the same data-driven jigsaw we know today

[subtle plinth]

Only bastions, villages, outposts, ancient cities, trail ruins, and trial chambers are jigsaws

All the rest are hardcoded

[oak cipher]

jigsaw refers to the new system.

[sly forge]

jigsaw refers to a system where parts of a structure are put together to make a whole

[oak cipher]

no point arguing

yes, I agree, would be cool to edit/remove mineshafts.

and many other things

[sly forge]

we should be able to just disable vanilla structures entirely smh

java has had this for years now

[oak cipher]

yes.

imagine being able to disable everything and create your own stuff...

[sly forge]

why don’t we have it yet? no idea

but it shouldn’t be that hard to implement a new button

however i’m kinda on the fence about jigsaw’s current state

you can only latch them down to vanilla’s terrain

meaning you can’t have them latch on to a molang function :p

this isn’t a problem for things like custom mineshafts or other underground structures

but it’s a bit of a problem for things like villages when you are doing custom terrain

[upbeat barn]

Coral reefs and ruins are jigsaws as well.

[sly forge]

i find the fact that coral reefs are jigsaws quite annoying

[subtle plinth]

I thought ocean ruins predate jigsaws

And coral is a weird thing to use jigsaws

Especially since they also predate jigsaw blocks

[upbeat barn]

Bedrock's ocena update is after Jigsaws.

[subtle plinth]

That’s interesting

[austere stratus]

hey, sorry... i cant find the water spring feature rule anywhere.

[sly forge]

one second

[sly forge]

this should be it

just change the places_feature to your custom air feature

[austere stratus]

ty

[sly forge]

np

[subtle plinth]

Does block_column feature exist on bedrock? It exists on Java and it’s useful for jigsaws

[upbeat barn]

What is it?

[subtle plinth]

It places a giant column of blocks either up or down if a specified height

It is useful for making the giant foundations of structures

Especially for the nether

[upbeat barn]

We have growing plant, scatter + single block feature.

[subtle plinth]

Oof

Looks like I’m gonna have to use growing plant for that

[sly forge]

ive actually never thought of that, good idea

[lapis holly]

Hello.
How doi fix log-cannot find processor list "Minecraft:empty". The jigsaw structure generates but I don't like the constant error logs

[subtle plinth]

create a processor with that id but put nothing but "processors": [] in it

[lapis holly]

Ok tnx

[dim sentinel]

What is the command for the placement passes....

[hushed knot]

Placement Passes

Placement passes can just be thought of as a named ordering for when placement of a feature rule's target feature should occur.
Nothing special occurs during a pass; it's just a name.
The available passes are:

• pregeneration_pass
• first_pass
• before_underground_pass
• underground_pass
• after_underground_pass
• before_surface_pass
• surface_pass
• after_surface_pass
• before_sky_pass
• sky_pass
• after_sky_pass
• final_pass

NoteL pregeneration_pass is reserved for carver features.

[dim sentinel]

found it never mind

[regal olive]

Can anyone help or does anyone know how I would go about this
I want to create some pools on the islands, essentially following the curvature of the island (let's use the end islands for this example), but they would be laid out in layers.
So, depending on the height of the island, it would place water to the edge but not replace the edge, so it doesn't spill over (I guess something similar is lush cave pools).

on the image, obviously blue is water/yellowish would be land

Any help is greatly appreciated!

[livid notch]

Can Java jigsaws be converted to Bedrock?

[upbeat barn]

Wdym?

[subtle plinth]

Kind of

[sly forge]

yes and no

there are a lot of things still missing with the feature

[wanton flare]

How does the custom biomes experiment change world saving? When I change feature rules, I see them change in the chunks around me as I /reload all, so unmodified chunks don't get saved?

I'm trying to preload some chunks on a realm to avoid lag later

[upbeat barn]

Correct.

[wanton flare]

Thanks! Yeah, so I just have to edit a block in each chunk to save them, not sure how that'd impact world size but it's only going to be a few thousand blocks.

[grave parrot]

Can i get help with biome generation? the biome appears when i try to locate them with commands but the generation doesnt match the one in the code or doesnt generate well at all

[real fiber]

Is it possible to make a 96x96 structure using sequence features to put 4 48x48 pieces together?

[gaunt raven]

Nope you can only change/access 48x48 per rule

[sleek kayak]

So first time Im looking into this stuff. Can I just edit vanilla features? Or do I need to create features that replace vanilla features

[sly forge]

depends on the feature

a lot of them were moved to legacy recently and can no longer be placed

best bet is to make a brand new feature and modify the vanilla feature rules to reflect the custom feature

[sleek kayak]

Im talking Ores. Is there anything I can do?

[sly forge]

ah yh ur perfectly fine

you can modify those features however you want

[sleek kayak]

thx a lot btw

[wanton flare]

I didn't realise it could go so wrong that treas would appear in a grid lol

Genuinely so confusing with how they implement everything

Oh, wait unless the distribution part is 1 tree per chunk, at the inchunk coordinates 0 0?

[upbeat barn]

Yes.

[wanton flare]

I see, so every day is a learning day with Bedrock!

How does the birch forest work then, because it seems to have the same distribution but it's not all one place?

[upbeat barn]

It's using an internal legacy feature so I don't know. It's likely using scatter feature.

[wanton flare]

Ah right, my worst enemy, Mojang's internal cheats 😭 TYSM! I'll check some other features and see

[upbeat barn]

It used to.

[wanton flare]

Thanks!

Bit of a pain but I can work with it

[grave parrot]

The generation is more regular

Than my heartbeat

@wanton flare may i ask how u managed to get the biome to spawn correctly? Ive also been trying custom biomes and it doesnt generate correctly. As in the top layer is jus stone and HELLA small patches of dirt while its intended to generate podzol at the top. Any ideas?

Thanks brother

[wanton flare]

With JS not in an addon, can we calculate feature locations given a seed? Some websites like seed finder searches seeds in browser JS

Like, whenever I've tried, I can't replicate the randomness of Bedrock's C++

[grave parrot]

Not sure tbh since im also knew to coding

Scripting

BROOO

@wanton flare

THANKS A LOT BROTHER

NOW MY BIOME WORKS

FINALLY

END OF MY SUFFERING AND AGONY-

guys anyone know how to add a custom ore?

to a specific biome

[grave parrot]

guys how do i add a certain feature to a specific biome

@dawn hawk @novel mason

[grave parrot]

how do i place it randomly? it has a uniformative generation now-

[wanton flare]

    "distribution": {
      "iterations": 5,
      "coordinate_eval_order": "zxy",
      "x": "math.random(0, 15)",
      "y": "query.heightmap(variable.worldx, variable.worldz)",
      "z": "math.random(0, 15)"
    }

This is my distribution

[grave parrot]

oooh

better now hehe

thxx

[valid stirrup]

could anyone clearify something for me?

I'm using q.heightmap to spawn structures in the world, I assume q.heightmap is the heightmap of the world pre decoration placements (eg trees/strucutres/vegetations)
but my structures sometimes get stacked on top of each other, anyone has a solution or a better explanation for me of what q.heightmap actually is?

also, I tried playing around with placement passes to see if it effects the order of stacking, the results are always the same

[wanton flare]

Total guess here from me using it once. It takes the X and Z coordinate then returns the top most block. If you have multiple iterations I think it will get all the maxes at once to prevent stacking, but if you have multiple features using it on different passes, they might stack?

What might be worth trying is having it on the same pass?

[subtle plinth]

https://discord.com/channels/1138536747932864532/1417230433275613244 opinions on this idea?

[sly forge]

been wanting this since forever

[subtle plinth]

Ikr, it would be fire with all the new worldgen changes

i also think it would be trivially easy to implement the suggested changes

[subtle plinth]

So that’s why villages aren’t data drive yet

That’s one of the desert village meeting points

It’s using a data mode structure block and jigsaws

The jigsaws appear to be using the old first iteration of generation fields

The attachment_type field doesn’t exist anymore

It got replaced by name

[sly forge]

so in other words

it just needs a format change

and that one structure block needs removed manually, which can probably be done pretty easily

[subtle plinth]

Pillager outposts are mostly structure data blocks with a couple of jigsaws

Coral reefs are entirely data mode structure blocks

The jigsaws in the pillager outposts appear to be the jigsaw type we have now with 4 fields instead of the older 3 field ones

I’m gonna check ancient cities and bastions to see if they are data modes with jigsaws or just jigsaws

I’m gonna bet that ancient cities are fully jigsaws because they spawn no mobs which is what the data mode structure blocks seem to be for in the last couple of structure files I’ve checked

So there are newer jigsaw blocks with the 4 fields in bastions

There are no data mode structure blocks in treasure bastion ramparts

They use newer jigsaw block format

I’m gonna say that bastions are fully jigsaws. I’ve not seen a single structure block in the treasure bastion so I assume the same applies to stables, bridge, and housing.

I’ve noticed that the user “CascadianBacon” is the author of most of these nbt files

Well I’m gonna check the center portal of cities now

No structure blocks in city center portal, cities are jigsaws

[upbeat barn]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Structure_Block#Data

[subtle plinth]

Ik that’s what they are for but it’s weird that they use data mode blocks for jigsaw structures when Java spawns them fine without data mode blocks and data mode blocks are deprecated

[upbeat barn]

Because we're not in parity.

[subtle plinth]

I hope that they are made fully jigsaw in the future

[sly forge]

i still wanna disable mineshafts

[upbeat barn]

Still so weird that its dimension based.

[sly forge]

i think thats probably more related to the worldgen code itself

but i don’t actually know

and i wouldn’t know

[stoic heron]

How dose the world generation work I have bridge

Is there a better method to make new biomes or trees ?

I am new to world gen anyone who is willing to help would be much appreciated

[sly forge]

ur...probably better off not using bridge

better to look at wiki.bedrock.dev for help if there are any articles on it

[stoic heron]

I know In bridge there is a world generation

I also know people use feature / featured rules

Ok so just go read up on the wiki ? Alright thanks

[subtle plinth]

bridge is fire

[sly forge]

bridge has a bad case of skill issue syndrome

its frequently outdated, its vanilla docs are frequently incorrect, trying to do scripting with it is known to be a nightmare, etc

[subtle plinth]

its really useful for me

I know how to use jigsaws because of it and the guy updates it pretty fast actually

[sly forge]

something must have changed then

[sonic furnace]

Is there any way of only generating a structure/feature at certain distance. I.e
"Only generate structure when coordinates are x < 500 and z < 500 "

[stoic heron]

So quick question dose anyone know what y level villages start to spawn and what y level they “end” ?

Example y = 64 - 84

[subtle plinth]

They don’t have set heights, they project to the world surface

[stoic heron]

Right yeah that makes sense what I mean to ask is what is the minimum and maximum world surface

[stoic heron]

so i think this would be a quick question so i did some reading and messing around and i got ore gen to work its cool now trying to learn about tree generation i got a layout but i dont see anything in bedrock wiki about what to use for the arrays and could use some help

[main warren]

i'm trying to make a cave floor with geometrical shape using feature and feature rule. I'm able to make the structure (cubic) spawn on floor and near or inside eachother but they sometimes keep too much space between one and another, how i can fix it?

[dense quail]

Without knowing more about your features its hard to help

[subtle plinth]

I need concentric_rings placement type structure sets so bad

[buoyant field]

probably dumb question but what do these numbers represent exactly?

[upbeat barn]

Weight.

[buoyant field]

so like higher number means more likely to spawn or is it opposite?

[upbeat barn]

Yep.

Its relative to others.

[buoyant field]

I see, I think I get it. thanks

[coarse cobalt]

How can I make a Jigsaw structure not have a random rotation?

[coarse cobalt]

Do u find some way?

[subtle plinth]

Not possible

[subtle plinth]

currently testing adding encounters to trial chambers

[limber jewel]

is there a good way to place an N amount of features dynamically depending on some N molang variable? not to be confused with just nesting a feature with a scatter and calling it that way

basically i'm trying to avoid nesting, but maybe i should restructure how i'm organizing my features

[misty valley]

Hey, does anyone know if you can get growing plant features to only spawn on certain blocks?

[upbeat barn]

Put the molang in iterations? Quite confused.

[limber jewel]

it's a feature that calls itself, that sorta the problem

i'd like to maintain the origin from the root (first placed feature) and it seems like the nicest way to do so is without recursively calling the feature

[elfin zenith]

What does the error mean: No definition found for feature

I don't know what the problem is

[spring thistle]

Why does this happen?

[upbeat barn]

Side of grass doesnt get tinted via client biome json.

[spring thistle]

how do you make the side tinted then? or can you not

[upbeat barn]

No.

[spring thistle]

that sucks

[spark grove]

I checked every part of the code following also the documentation but the feature_rules is not executed for the custom biome, trying with vanilla biomes it works even if I use /place featurerule does not work on the custom biome but on the vanilla biome it does, I checked the tag, it seems as if the tag was not registered.

[median ocean]

Is it possible to make a single-biome world with a custom biome

or can i make like a plains only world and override the plains biome

[median ocean]

Nvm figured it out

[strong tendon]

Is it possible to generate custom biomes next to each other?

[real fiber]

I have an ore feature

I only want it to trigger if the initial starting location is an air block

Is the best way to use a sequence feature, attempt to place an air block that can only replace air, then follow with placing the ore feature?

[vale cliff]

How to make wheat spawn in a biome like this

[subtle plinth]

I would assume that a feature is placing them and the farm land beneath them. Maybe a sequence feature because that is what it seems to be used for.

[vale cliff]

Oh ok

[slender lotus]

so it's my first time coding any type of world generation and I'm trying to code a structure that's 34x40 blocks (x and z) big but everytime it generates it cuts off like

is it too big or something?

from what I knew the limit on a "normal" structure was 64 blocks

[subtle plinth]

its a bug with the feature system, structures over 32x32 and its best to use jigsaw system

[slender lotus]

oh, okay I see

i will have to learn that

[slender lotus]

do you have a source where I can learn how to use Jigsaws?

they are so much different than structure blocks

💔

[subtle plinth]

wiki.bedrock.dev and microsoft learn are good places to start

jigsaws are also really similar to java so a lot of their tutorials will work

[slender lotus]

Okay wait, I have a question. Can I use a jigsaw block to save the entire structure if it's under than 128x128?

[sleek kayak]

in the features file, can I define a blockstate for the block im placing when using "replace_rules" ?

[upbeat barn]

You cannot define a specific block state to replace.

[sleek kayak]

not to replace but to place

[upbeat barn]

Ah, yes.

Just like a block descriptor:

{
  "name": "namespace:id",
  "states":{
    "state": "value"
  }
}

[sleek kayak]

oh so instead of a string for the block, that.

[upbeat barn]

Yep!

[sleek kayak]

Thanks a lot

[sleek kayak]

Also this cant be right lol

caution: HCF jumpscare

[upbeat barn]

lol.

[subtle plinth]

Nah you are still limited by the bounds of the structure block so you would need to save each corner of it and make them connect to each other with jigsaws

Also 128 in max_distance_from_center is the radius. Then can actually be 256 blocks wide

[subtle plinth]

jigsaw blocks can have their turns into field set as a block state

thats cool

[slender lotus]

wait what does this mean?

This is my entire structure, not for any reason, but I just wanna show how big it is

[subtle plinth]

Structures can be made to be gigantic you just have to connect different sturture files with jigsaws

[slender lotus]

Ahhh I understand now, I will try my best, cutting up this structure (by 16x16 chunks) leaves me with 6 pieces/corners that I have to code together

This is my first structure I’m low key cooked 😭

[slender lotus]

It was very time consuming, but I have successfully cut up my entire structure. each piece is (16x16) in block width and 31 blocks in height. This ended up with 7 different parts I have to connect

Each piece has it's designated void blocks as well

(sorry for the ping but I seriously want to make sure I am doing this right, it's my hardest task yet)

Am I ready to start coding all of this?

[subtle plinth]

Should be yeah

[slender lotus]

How would I make mobs actually spawn in the structure

[subtle plinth]

You would need to save them in a structure file and then have that structure file spawn the mobs with the structure

[oak cipher]

mobs wont spawn in feature generated structures

[upbeat barn]

They're using jigsaws.

[oak cipher]

ah.

I need to read

[subtle plinth]

Jigsaws do

[oak cipher]

I know.

[spark grove]

But aren't jigsaws still experimental?

[upbeat barn]

Not in .120

[slender lotus]

Guys what files am I going to be working with for jigsaw structures?

From what I’ve learned I need

• Processor file
• Structure Set
• Jigsaw Structure
• Template Pool

[spark grove]

So, to place a large structure, example a 64x64x64, which currently doesn't work via features, how could I do it? Using a dummy entity and using the load event to trigger the structure command doesn't even work because it tells me that all the air needs to be loaded to generate the structure, and it's horrible to see the structure buy after you've gone through it several times.

[upbeat barn]

Use jigsaws.

[spark grove]

ok, but it is not work for stable version

[upbeat barn]

Then wait.

[subtle plinth]

Processors arnt strictly needed but the others yeah

[slender lotus]

What do you mean by this

[slender lotus]

If I’m correct, processor files are for the jigsaw to turn into a specific block right?

So if processors aren’t strictly needed I’d just use the other 3?

[subtle plinth]

You need an experiment to make it work on 1.21.111

It was made stable so no experiment needed in 1.21.120

[slender lotus]

Oh, what is the best format version for jigsaw structures

[subtle plinth]

No the turns into field of the jigsaw tells the jigsaw what to turn into in game

[subtle plinth]

I use 1.21.100

As the format version

[slender lotus]

Gotcha, wait so what’s the point of processors

[subtle plinth]

Processors can randomly change blocks in a structure to a different block

Like stone bricks to mossy and cracked versions

I gtg tho

[slender lotus]

Ohhhhh

Okay thanks

[slender lotus]

Okay currently I am stuck on the jigsaw structure file like last night. I keep getting this error and I'm not sure why

[subtle plinth]

start_height appears to be wrong but i would have to be on my computer to get a working one soon

[wanton flare]

I have asked this before, but now I have a little more knowledge on world gen, how do I re-randomise diamond ore generation so it's not easily found on those "find diamonds" websites? If I overwrite the vanilla diamond ore features with a new one, do I just replace the count or something such that it'll have a different random placement to vanilla ore?

[sly forge]

just edit the vanilla ore feature rules

you don’t need a custom feature

[wanton flare]

I see, so could I just add an offset or something?

[sly forge]

yes

you can

you can also change their rarity if you want

[wanton flare]

Yeah, I mean mostly just to stop people using these websites that find the ores, but I guess making them rarer wouldn't hurt 😂

[slender lotus]

What can I edit to make the generation more natural?

[subtle plinth]

this is a gripe of mine with jigsaws

we should have control over the cave carving with our terrain adaptions

also rarely structures spawn without any of the mobs they were supposed to

[compact crescent]

Oh my god, they fixed the bug where random patches of glowstone, flowing lava, and nether trees gets left before when using giving the nether void generation in 1.21.110

[boreal blaze]

Is anyone running into schema issues recently with the "projection" parameter in jigsaw template pools? The content log is simply telling me that the parameter was "found in the input, but not present in the Schema".

It seems like the formatting might've changed again, but I can't find exactly where that's referenced in the changelogs.

[upbeat barn]

porjection should be in the element object now.

[boreal blaze]

Yep, that was it. Must've done something wrong when trying that initially, thank you.

[dawn cloud]

Question is there anything in here about features like vines and resin, i want to try make a block type like them

Realises that post was 2 years ago

[subtle plinth]

Guys I’ve thought of a way to make custom strongholds but I’ve not tested it yet

It has a single end portal not using the start pool

If it works I’ll make a custom village and smack it into a custom jigsaw dev pack along with the custom dungeon and pillager outposts that I made a while ago

[jaunty kestrel]

help still would be appreciated

[last tinsel]

Trying to understand biomes. Is it possible to significantly alter the amount of the world underwater? Or is that all determined before biomes are selected to fit? Trying to understand what target_altitude, noise_params and shore_transformation do. Do they just influence where this biome gets placed plus some minor terrain shaping only?

[upbeat barn]

Correct.

[last tinsel]

Correct wrt the last question?

[upbeat barn]

The last one. The way the new custom biomes work is it chooses a vanilla biome, takes a chunk of it (or all) and replaces it with your biome.

So your best bet to make a 90% underwater world would be to use features to place the water blocks above sea level.

[last tinsel]

Oh fun! Thanks.

[ionic cloak]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[last tinsel]

As SmokeyStack said above, noise params would seem to not significantly alter the shape of the world - that is set before biomes are placed and can't be altered except manually with features. I don't yet know how to redefine a biome so it is only chosen to be placed in a flat area though. I gather any biome-specific terrain smoothing after that is fairly minor??

[limber jewel]

you can terraform the terrain using features manually, which introduces a whole level of complexity since you'd need to account for many edge cases

[last tinsel]

Changing the biome's sea_material definitely has an effect 😆

[subtle plinth]

Indeed

          { "data": "tester:spawner_random", "weight": 2 }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Do I need to use / instead of underscores for the identifiers or is that not the prob?

[subtle plinth]

try setting the format version to 1.21.100 because thats what i use for mine

[modest dune]

hmmm, yea same content log as before. It's saying that "type" doesn't exist at all inside of pool aliases. Removing it makes that error go away, it's weird 🤔

[subtle plinth]

is there a actual template pool file with the tester:spawner_random id?

because there needs to be a file with that identifier however it needs to be a empty list of elements

[modest dune]

ye, there is a file! It currently has data tho. So remove the contents inside the elements array in that file?

[subtle plinth]

this is what i have atm

[subtle plinth]

turns out no

my file has stuff in it but the pool alias still generates fine

the structure still rolls it once upon generation

[modest dune]

Interesting interesting
Is there any reason you're using /'s in some cases and _'s in others for the pool identifiers? I see that in the docs as well and am not sure if that matters either?

[subtle plinth]

the / indicates that its in a folder

those ones in the data field are nested in subfolders so i marked their identifiers as such

the one labled as the alias is in the top level worldgen/template_pools folder

[modest dune]

So more of an organization thing type vibe?

For mine I just have the identifiers underscored. I've never used slashes in identifier paths before haha

"pool_aliases": [
      {
        
        "alias": "tester:spawner_random",
        "type": "random",
        "targets": [
          { "data": "tester:spawner_spider",  "weight": 1 },
          { "data": "tester:spawner_zombie",  "weight": 1 },
          { "data": "tester:spawner_skeleton",  "weight": 1 },
          { "data": "tester:spawner_husk",  "weight": 1 },
          { "data": "tester:spawner_random", "weight": 2 }
        ]
      }
    ]

[subtle plinth]

this is what the block should look like

[subtle plinth]

yeah kinda

the target pool is where you put tester:spawner_random

[modest dune]

pic 1 is spawned structure jigsaw, pic 2 is generating jigsaw.

I notice you are pointing to just special as the name and not special_garrison. I have my pool name doubled up there

[subtle plinth]

yeah locdev:special is the name of the child jigsaw spawning the mobs

the problem seems to be with the config file but I can't put my finger on it

[modest dune]

okay it works! The problem was that I didn't have all of my child spawner blocks to have a unique name like yours and they used to be generating jigsaws pointing to pools. I had some cases where I would generate two spawners as well since they also shared the same "name" field and would generate an extra one attached to the back of the jigsaw (which I didn't know what was possbile haha)

Fun fact, the error [Structure][warning]-Loading Jigsaw Structure .json files | Jigsaw Structure Definition .json file worldgen/structures/tester_tower.json | -> pool_aliases[0] -> type: this member was found in the input, but is not present in the Schema
always appears but this tech works. If you have your logs on I would imagine it might be happening for you as well.

Thanks so much for your help on this @subtle plinth I really appreciate it!

[subtle plinth]

yeah i bet i could check that rn

yeah there it is

thats a mojang goof

[modest dune]

claaaaaaaaassic

[slender lotus]

I can't make an addon achievement friendly if it has jigsaw structures right?

[upbeat barn]

Wait for 1.21.120.

[spark grove]

I'm adding trees to my biomes, but they appear one above the other. Isn't it possible to check the block underneath before generating the tree, like with plants? I tried using hightmap, but nothing appears because it's a cave-filled biome, so the trees appear underground.

[spark grove]

Even if I used jitter_grid to space each tree in each single chunk it could still generate above a structure if I use above_top_solid

#1362052701365473461 message

[last tinsel]

Does anyone know how to get the wiki's Heightmap Noise sample code/pack to work on the current Bedrock version? I tried JSONs and file names exactly as given etc but can't figure out why nothing is generating for me. https://wiki.bedrock.dev/world-generation/heightmap-noise

Or have any working simple version of this that does noise-based terrain generation? 🙏

[last tinsel]

To put it another way: is the Heightmap Noise tutorial on the wiki currently outdated?

[junior prism]

Can anyone tell me if the replace biomes is working in the latest preview?

[slender lotus]

Is there a way to make structures break/overide blocks? (trees and plants make the blocks float

[upbeat barn]

This is fixed in .120

[slender lotus]

Okay, I’ll update my format version and see

[slender lotus]

Do you mean 1.21.120? Because it says that format version is unacceptable

[upbeat barn]

Yes.

[slender lotus]

The highest “valid value” seems to be 1.21.110

I think I need to update bridge

nvm even updating didn't change anything, it keeps telling me 1.21.120 is an invalid value

[subtle plinth]

.120 is in preview rn

[slender lotus]

ahh

[subtle plinth]

bridge only does 110 rn

[slender lotus]

makes much more sense

[subtle plinth]

the format version also doesnt matter for it

my structures that do that in stable have the format version 1.21.100 and they work fine in preview 120

[slender lotus]

wait, I don't understand, does this "error" happen even in preview 120 or are you trying to say that it's fixed

[subtle plinth]

its fixed in preview 1.21.120

[limber jewel]

i can't find any docs mentioning this, but what's the difference between t. and v. in the feature rule context?

[hard cipher]

Is it not possible to make tree features generate underground?

I did this but many times it failed to position the feature

[cloud flame]

which vanilla structures are data driven for jigsaw? and how can i modify em?

[hard cipher]

Only trial chambers and trial ruins

[slender lotus]

can I add an offset to the structure so the bottom/void part generates underground??

[upbeat barn]

Yes, just set the start height to negative.

[slender lotus]

it didn't do anything

[vale cliff]

Can anyone tell why these are coming not the structure not exist the other one

[slender lotus]

has anyone ever made an outpost like structure that I can see please

[subtle plinth]

Yeah I have

[slender lotus]

Looks cool

[subtle plinth]

#1360692615472873532 message there is a template of one here

[slender lotus]

So your structure is divided into 2 pools right?

[subtle plinth]

It’s a little outdated

[subtle plinth]

4 iirc

[slender lotus]

Oh?

How come

[subtle plinth]

The start pool, baseplates, outer structures, and the tower

The newer versions of that structure have far more extra structures which use extra baseplates to generate

[slender lotus]

The structures look pretty spread out, how did you connect all the baseplates with the 16x16 chunk limit?

[subtle plinth]

The radius of where they can generate as jigsaws is actually massive

A 256x256x256 cube

The structure places a center baseplate then the tower then the outer baseplates and generates all the substructures on top

[maiden mica]

anyone know what the problem with my scatter features is?? I cant figure it out and i keep getting the same error msg #1429480307437862932

[slender lotus]

Wait really? So I can make a structure that huge and generate it with a jigsaw block?

My problem right now is that I have a baseplate and it’s supposed to generate structures on top of it, but some of them have underground areas unlike the baseplate and they don’t generate, they only generate if I get rid of underground area

[upbeat barn]

Make the underground a separate piece.

[slender lotus]

I was just thinking of that as well, I’ll come back in case of anything, thank you

[pseudo kite]

Can someone help me? I was trying to make an ore but it just does not generate at all and even the logs dont show any error, here is a screenshot of the json's files feature and feature_rules

[maiden mica]

Sorry for the ping but do you have any idea what this error means? I keep getting it when Im trying to add features, and its just so persistent, ive even just tried using different ways of placing these scatter features and still 3 hours later Im here with completely re-written files and the same error that makes 0 sense and im crashing out 💀

[maiden mica]

Nevermind, after 5+ hours i got it working, that was so tedious

[sly forge]

well itd help if you actually tried to generate it in the stone layer it's meant to generate in according to the feature file

you're trying to replace deepslate with your ore yet your feature rules say youre generating it in the stone layer, not the deepslate layer

[pseudo kite]

Yeah i solved that problem

But

Yet does not generate

[sly forge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

does the block itself exist?

[pseudo kite]

Yeah

I can place it break it the loot works just the generation does not work

[sly forge]

did you try setting iterations to, like, 100 for testing?

[pseudo kite]

No

But i can try

[sly forge]

also make sure you create a new world every time you update features or feature rules

[pseudo kite]

Yeah i do that

[sly forge]

aaaand

make sure you're using the development pack folders

[pseudo kite]

Im not

Bc my phone just not acept that

[sly forge]

that's your issue

[pseudo kite]

Accept*

[pseudo kite]

That's a issue?

I thought it was the same thing

[sly forge]

if you can't use these folders for whatever reason youll have to open minecraft and delete the files, then re-import the addon

[pseudo kite]

Yeah i have to do that

[sly forge]

development resource/behavior pack folders allow you to make changes and test more quickly

[pseudo kite]

I tried to use it but it just dont let me use them

[sly forge]

you can't change things in the regular resource and behavior pack minecraft folders without potentially causing issues

[pseudo kite]

I dont modify the resources and behavior of minecraft

[sly forge]

i never said you did

[pseudo kite]

Oh sorry

I got it wrong

[sly forge]

these folders are where all resource pack and behavior pack files go

im not talking about the game files

[pseudo kite]

Oh ok

So i think i have to do a little hack to my phone let me modify the data folder

[pseudo kite]

Well

I did not get the acess of the developer folders

But the ore works

[subtle plinth]

this is the current view

[pseudo kite]

Ty man it helped a lot
