Testerino

Testerino

 Testerino is a mod made to test out ideas, mainly involving customization of World Generation.

Currently the main features revolve around 'Better Schematics' as I like to call them. (I may come up with a better name later, probably.) They are a version of schematics similar to MCEdit schematics, but work in-game and have modded and TileEntity support. They do not yet support other Entities or Microblocks/Multipart.

Commands:

• Export
  • Usage: /export <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> <name>
  • Exports a Better Schematic to (minecraftInstance)/Structures/<name>.nbt
• Import
  • Usage: /import <x> <y> <z> <name> <ignoreAir:true|false>
  • Imports an exported Better Schematic by it's name without a file extension at the end
  • Only works for Better Schematics in your (minecraftInstance)/Structures/ folder
• Convert
  • Usage: /covert <input file> <output file>
  • Converts MCEdit Schematic files (.schematic) to BetterSchematic files (.nbt)
  • File path can be shortened by using "$mcDir" for your Minecraft Directory (or the Minecraft Server folder)

Other Features:

• StructureGen
  • Inside of your (minecraftInstance)/StructureGen/ folder, you can add custom JSON files that allow you to generate Better Schematics from your (minecraftInstance)/Structures/ folder in the world. This can be either random or at exact coordinates in specific dimensions.
    
    
  • An example file for random generation is here (1.7.10 and 1.8.9):
    

     //TestStructure.json

    [
      {
        "structureName": "Test", //No .nbt at the end
        "minHeight": 40, //Minimum structure spawn height
        "maxHeight": 80, //Maximum structure spawn height
        "rarity": 40, //Rarity: 1 in <rarity> chance of spawning
        "spawnBiomeIds": [ //Id #'s for biomes that your structure can spawn in
          8
        ],
        "dimensions": [ //Dimensions that your structure can spawn in
          -1
        ],
        "ignoreAir": false //Whether or not to ignore air when generating the structure
      }
    ]

     

  • An example file for random generation is here (1.9):
    

     //TestStructure.json

    [
      {
        "structureName": "Test", //No .nbt at the end
        "minHeight": 40, //Minimum structure spawn height
        "maxHeight": 80, //Maximum structure spawn height
        "rarity": 40, //Rarity: 1 in <rarity> chance of spawning
        "spawnBiomeIds": [ //Biome Names for biomes that your structure can spawn in
          Nether
        ],
        "dimensions": [ //Dimensions that your structure can spawn in
          -1
        ],
        "ignoreAir": false //Whether or not to ignore air when generating the structure
      }
    ]

     

  • An example file for precise coordinate generation is here (Any version) :
    

    //FixedStructure.json
    [
      {
        "useExactCoords": true,
        "structureName": "Pyramid",
        "coordX": -80,
        "coordY": 40,
        "coordZ": -80,
        "dimensions": [
          0
        ],
        "ignoreAir": true
      }
    ]

• Fake Air (Block)
  • Useful for if you want a structure to ignore air, but still have air generate inside of it
  • When a Better Schematic is generated, it will generate all Fake Air blocks as regular air
