Is it possible to change WorldGen so that hills have smooth slopes ?

9 posts in this topic

Just a question,

 

as there are the detailed blocks and ofc there have always been stairs, shouldnt it be possible to change the world generation so that hills no longer have this terrace look ?

 

I dont mind so much in rocky terrain (real mountains) but with dirt, esp in TFC as dirt drops down if there is more height difference than 2.

If there was a dirt-stairs-block whenever the terrain goes up or down, dirt landscapes (sand as well!) would look 10 times better.

 

 

Is it possible ?

 

If yes, is it hard to do (time vs benefit consideration) ?

 

Would it lag more ?

Changing the render like the mod suggested would give you the look you may like, but it likely will be very heavy, especially since it says you need to run shaders to fix lighting.

To modify the generation, not possible. You'd have to basically rewrite MC to not be voxel based. The code required to do what you propose would be insane and the latency would be unplayable even on the most insane computer. I've played around with retrogen where it needs to find and replace certain blocks in a set area and it quickly crashed a very very beefy server. Your proposal would require every block be queried to determine if and how it should change. Then after that you'd need to render it.

It does look freaking awesome. Did you guys manage to make No Cubes mod work on TFC? I'm failing at it badly. It doesn't even start. It's in the mods folder, but it doesn't react at all.And the really awesome thing with this is that it forces you to terraform so you can move faster. Exploration means more effort on players part and seeds, rocks sticks aren't always easily visible. Can anyone help me out on installing this with TFC?

Cannot be done. Anyway, i did not find this mod playable at all. Impossible to mine as the terrain gets morphed all the time.

It's much harder to mine and move. Something close to realistic right? Much more than flat terrain and tunnellable mashed potato mountains. :)

That's not really what i mean. Did you try the mod in vanilla MC? The curved terrain and wormhole tunnels in the mountains look appealing but behind the morphed terrain, there still exists the blocky nature of minecraft. Therefore, it's tedious and confusing to mine. For example, you see some ore, but when you think you mine it, you are actually mining the adjacent blocks.
