Volcanoes must be of vary types:

-Fissure vents (Smallest)

-Shield volcanoes (Largest)

-Lava domes (High enough)

-Volcanic cones (Classic)

-Stratovolcanoes (Composite volcanoes with many layers of different stone)

-Submarine volcanoes (Under the water, make lots of bubbles )

-Subglacial volcanoes (The funniest)

oh, btw, while its on volcanoes, why no underwater volcanoes, spewing a new block: magma, which would have a heat value and travel some blocks beyond the initial eruption area, then cool off and turn into some type of solid, gravity affected block (cobble wouldnt be realistic i think) which, over time, would form an natural new island or even continent, if their close enough , of course after that it'd need to be agricultured before its ready to be habitable

Already talked about, Thread about tropical islands I think. We de-railed into what you just talked about.

I remember of that topic. By Noodles, true?

iirc

Completely off topic... what did that mean again? :

Subglacial volcanoes would require... well, glacials : that was confirmed in it's thread or ti wasn't? i don't remember...

Other than that, i think it's a pretty nice list :3

GUISE. STOP TALKING ABOUT VOLCANOES. WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING SUGGESTIONS ABOUT VOLCANOES ANY FURTHER. IF THEY ARE ADDED, WE ALREADY NOW EXACTLY HOW AND WHY AND WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY OTHER IDEAS REGARDING THIS. STOP NOW.

[achartran 465]

WE ALREADY NOW EXACTLY

*Know :3

anyways, listen to dunk, he KNOWS () things.

Ok... :

But you never answered the question i made...

Guys?

[LordOfWolves 514]

Guys?

He's an english teacher and he can say this. It's not a mistake, it's art.

[dunkleosteus 2,425]

Guys?

[Leosallespoli 338]

Thats what you get for trying to put a thread back in its rails...

[LordOfWolves 514]

Why I like this post so much?

[Wicc3R1 36]

Relatives maybe?

[LordOfWolves 514]

Relatives maybe?

No my dear guy. This isn't a relative. It's because IDK but it's funny.

I got a feeling that the vulcanoes you planned will be ones that slowly build up throught slow magma flow, one chunk a minute or something like this. (As is the case in real life. Volcanoe =/= sudden mountain in 10 seconds.)

nope, good guess though. That would take hundreds of years

Maybe we can have simulated tectonics. Along fault lines, mountain ranges and ravines form. And areas near them can get earthquakes.

(Items randomly breaking and erratic mob/player movement if not crouching)

And then we could have hail, and hurricanes and monsoons and tsunamis and all that junk! WOOT!

Yes!!! Only this gives me lots of ideas!

haha, you're obviously not a programmer

[1SDAN 38]

haha, you're obviously not a programmer

Actually, I am a programmer. All that's needed is a re-write of the main world gen code while referencing each block's variable. The world first is made flat with random blocks spawn with a variable meta data saying how close they are to a fault line. Then it is used to spawn mountain ranges and such near/on it. Then random hills are spawned just to fill in the gaps. It may take at least a month to code and 2 to bug fix. But it does give a good feel to the game.

And yes, I am a programmer. I am new to programming, but I understand the ins and outs of it better than you may think.

[killster550 401]

you do realise that if you calculate the changes for every block affected by an e-quake for every player and mob nearby, you'd have an efficient way of killing your memory? (i'm not a programmer but even i can get the gist of it from a previous post by dunk: we could simulate shaking and just have them sit through the massive lagspike while calculating every blocks variable affected)

I said that because what you asked is well beyond the scope of this mod and the abilities of it's programmers.

It could. But getting a ten meter high volcano could take just one day.

Plenty of time for it not to pose any danger to the people settled in it's vicinity. ;d

I advise you to look into mc code... what you're suggesting will change, well, if not all, then most classes...

The world isn't generated flat, it is generated through perlin noise, what you're asking for is to have a pre-simulation of the world, well, that is not minecraft... Imagine that chunks aren't generated when you enter the world, but as you discover them, so your idea isn't for minecraft

I was meaning, have that for the first chunks, then simulate the rest of the chunk tectonics using a complex formula.
