This is what I have, currently just spamming randomness

  "feature": "fauna_and_flora:carpet",
  "placement": [
    {
      "type": "minecraft:height_range",
      "height": {
        "absolute": 0
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "minecraft:block_predicate_filter",
      "predicate": {
        "type": "minecraft:matching_blocks",
        "blocks": [
          "minecraft:dirt"
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "minecraft:count",
      "count": 256
    },
    {
      "type": "minecraft:in_square"
    }
  ]
}```

I'm sure there's a feature or something that I'm simply missing that would make this a lot easier

If you want it to cover all dirt, you probably want to use a vegetation patch feature. You can make it so that it can only replace dirt blocks, make it place dirt blocks, and then make the vegetation have a 1.0 chance and place whatever feature or block you're trying to place. Then you can simply have the placed feature place in every chunk

#

Block predicate filter would be what you want otherwise but without a super high count you wouldn't get the 100% coverage you want without serious performance impacts, if even

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 4:52 AM

#

I don't want it to cover everything that was bad wording I want it to generate on top of everything

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 4:52 AM

#

You want it on top of all dirt, yes?

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 4:52 AM

#

yeah

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 4:52 AM

#

What I described does that

#

I see how I misspoke, edited

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 4:53 AM

#

I'm using misode and none of the placed feature options say vegetation patch

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 4:53 AM

Screenshot_2025-06-08-21-53-22-19_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg

#

It's a configured feature type

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 4:53 AM

#

Nono I want to place the feature on the dirt

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 4:53 AM

#

Yes, I understand

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 4:53 AM

#

I already have a feature made

#

I don't want to make a new feature

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 4:54 AM

#

Vegetation patch is a beautiful feature that lets you place other features on every block of the patch

#

It's perfectly tailored for exactly what you want to do here

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 4:54 AM

#

Oh I see now ok

#

I must be missing something

#

#

Your placed feature feels incomplete

#

Just a height range isn't gonna do much

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 4:59 AM

#

Idk man it crashed my game :/

#

I have no idea what happened 😭

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:01 AM

#

This isn't likely to crash your game on its own. Could have been a memory thing if you've been doing a lot of worldgen stuff

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:01 AM

#

The dimension has 3 features 😭

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:01 AM

#

Vanilla Minecraft places tons of these in lush caves, with way more intensive placements

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:02 AM

#

I must be doing something wrong

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:02 AM

#

drowsy island The dimension has 3 features 😭

But if you've been testing a lot by deleting and regenerating the region/chunks, Minecraft is poorly optimized for a lot of that

#

So eventually it runs out of memory

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:02 AM

#

ohhhhk

#

I've been making new worlds for it

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:02 AM

#

Same deal, yeah

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:02 AM

#

right

#

what's wrong with my placed feature?

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:03 AM

#

Well the reason it's not placing is that just a height range placement isn't going to do a lot

#

Indeed, this is just placing the feature at Y=0

#

Is that what you want?

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

It's been generating my other features

#

Yep

#

that's where everything is it's basically a superflat

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

Ah I see

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

that's where the dirt I want covered is

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

You're sure you added this to the biome?

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

yep

#

it's in the biome features

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:05 AM

#

It might need to technically try to place above the ground so it can scan down and find it

#

I recommend using a heightmap placement instead, assuming this is open to the sky

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:05 AM

#

it isn't

#

there's a roof like in the nether

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:06 AM

#

Really making this hard on yourself huh?

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:06 AM

#

I guess so

#

:?

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:06 AM

#

Then try count_on_every_layer

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:06 AM

#

Minecraft is still crashing I'll test this as soon as I can

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:07 AM

#

Is the crash giving anything in logs?

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:07 AM

#

is the xz_radius too big

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:07 AM

#

uneven flower Is the crash giving anything in logs?

naw cos I had to force close it

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:07 AM

#

drowsy island is the xz_radius too big

Could be, but that should be giving a more clear error if so

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:08 AM

#

It couldn't give errors it was crashing tho

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:08 AM

#

Which means it could be a few other things

#

How many biomes does your dimension have?

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:08 AM

#

1 so far I might add more

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:08 AM

#

Ok, so that narrows it down

#

You said there's two or three other features? Let's see what those placed features are

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:09 AM

#

We've got the one I've shown you, one that places a single block every few blocks in like a square and another that does lines

#

so like they're all the same thing in different shapes

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

Doesn't super matter what they're supposed to look like, please show what's in their placed feature files

#

Some placement types don't play well together and can cause these kinds of crashes

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

ok

#

And then the same thing but north

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:13 AM

#

Hm, not those then

#

It could indeed be the xz radius on the patch then, have you tried reducing it yet?

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:14 AM

#

No I haven't gotten the chance

#

game is still opening

uneven flower Jun 9, 2025, 5:15 AM

#

Ok, well try that next. Maybe something like 4 to be safe

#

And then if that works you can try to find the middleground

drowsy island Jun 9, 2025, 5:15 AM

#

I've dropped it to 2 yeah

#

must be a bigger issue

#

even at 2 it crashes the game

#

Oh ok logs are working this time it's giving a stack overflow error

#

and this is like a huge error
