large-vein
is one of the feature types provided by CoFH
World. It generates deposits of blocks as a group of branches that
start from a center point. These types of deposits can get very large.
A deposit of blocks generated using large-vein
consists of ‘main branches’ and
‘sub-branches’. Main branches start from the center point of the deposit.
Sub-branches have a 1 in 3 chance of being generated from each block in a main
branch. Both types of branches are generated as strings of blocks that ‘grow’ in
random directions.
When using this feature type, the following values must be added to the feature type configuration.
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
block |
Block ID / array of block IDs | - | The type(s) of block that the deposits consist of. When specified as an array, a block type is selected randomly for each generated block. |
cluster-size |
Number | - |
The maximum amount of main branches that generated deposits
consist of.cluster-size also determines the maximum lengths of
branches. Each main branch consists of up to
1 + ([cluster-size] / 30) blocks, and each sub-branch
consists of up to 1 + ([max. main branch length] / 5)
blocks.
|
sparse (optional) |
Boolean | true |
If true , the total amount of main branches in deposits and
the amount of blocks in a main branch is reduced by 1 for
each block generated as part of a sub-branch. This causes
less main branches to be generated and makes them shorter,
while sub-branches keep the same maximum length.
|
spindly (optional) |
Boolean | false |
If true , the amount of main branches in deposits is
reduced by 1 for each block generated as part of a main
branch. This causes less main branches to be generated,
though they keep the same maximum length.
