Advanced Knowledge Required - This documentation page is intended for users with in-depth knowledge of the world generation system. Beginner users may find the content challenging to understand.
The large_dripstone
feature generates large dripstone formations in the world.
Configuration
The large_dripstone
feature has the following configuration options. Some of these options are pretty hard to understand.
Make sure to check out this graph to play around with the values.
Option | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
floor_to_ceiling_search_range (optional in Json, defaults to 30 ) |
An int . (Range limit in Json is \([1;512]\)) |
Determines the maximum distance from the base of the dripstone cluster to the ceiling. |
column_radius |
An IntProvider . (Range limit in Json is \([1;60]\)) |
Sampled twice to get the min and max radius of the dripstone column. |
height_scale |
A FloatProvider . (Range limit in Json is \([0.0;20.0]\)) |
The height scale of the dripstone column. |
max_column_radius_to_cave_height_ratio |
A float . (Range limit in Json is \([0.0;1.0]\)) |
The ratio of the max radius to the cave height. |
stalactite_bluntness |
A FloatProvider . (Range limit in Json is \([0.0;10.0]\)) |
Determines the height of the stalactite tip. |
stalagmite_bluntness |
A FloatProvider . (Range limit in Json is \([0.0;10.0]\)) |
Determines the height of the stalagmite tip. |
wind_speed |
A FloatProvider . (Range limit in Json is \([0.0;2.0]\)) |
Higher values lead to a bigger inclination of the dripstone. |
min_radius_for_wind |
An int . (Range limit in Json is \([1;100]\)) |
The minimum column radius for the wind to have an effect. |
min_bluntness_for_wind |
A float . (Range limit in Json is \([0.0;5.0]\)) |
The minimum bluntness for the wind to have an effect. |
In code, the LargeDripstoneConfiguration
class is used to configure the feature.
Example
As an example, here's the configured and placed feature for the vanilla large dripstone formations.
