📋 About This Mod

**This datapack (packaged as a mod) is a variant of the (https://modrinth.com/datapack/lost-cities-modern-tweaks) datapack.** It shares the same content except that most light sources are removed. It provides a more challenging experience and better fits into some post apocalyptic settings. **⚠ You need to have (https://modrinth.com/mod/the-lost-cities) installed to use this datapack ⚠** The lighting option provided by (https://modrinth.com/mod/the-lost-cities) currently on works for torches, not other light sources. Therefore, I need to make this separate datapack. Detailed changes: * Street lamps are completely removed. * Laterns in building parts are removed. * Lights in railway systems are replaced with other blocks that do not emit light. **⚠ See (https://modrinth.com/datapack/lost-cities-modern-tweaks) for additional details ⚠** ## Permissions Feel free to use this datapack in any modpacks. The MIT license also gives you a lot of freedom to do additional tweaks yourselves (as the source code are just json files included in the pack). ## Compatibility This datapack has been tested with various vanilla Lost Cities profiles. However, it is impossible to test every heavily modded environment that heavily modifies worldgen. So if the datapack works flawlessly, that's great and enjoy it! If not, you may have to remove it, or manually resolve the issue if you are experienced. **Do not report issues caused by this datapack to the Lost Cities mod!** ### Compatibility with Other Lost Cities Datapacks **Before 1.0.10 for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 2.0.7 for Minecraft 1.12.1, the answer is highly unlikely** for the following reasons: * This datapack modifies lots of parts from the base mod (e.g., it touches all parts with torches). * Currently the Lost Cities mod does not support merging city styles or building definitions (e.g., allowing multitple datapacks to add/alter different buildings to the same city style). Therefore one pack's content will usually override another's. **Starting from 1.0.10 for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 2.0.7 for Minecraft 1.12.1, general compatibility has been improved** because the datapack moved the majority of the tweaks under its own pack namespace `lcmt`. The datapack only overrides the following datapack files from the base Lost Cities mod: * `lostcities/lostcities/worldstyles/standard.json` * `lostcities/lostcities/worldstyles/standard_everywhere.json` * `lostcities/lostcities/citystyles/citystyle_border.json` These overrides help enable all the tweaks by default so you need to manually create new lost cities profiles to enjoy them. ### Compatibility with Other Mods It should be compatible with mods that are compatible with (https://modrinth.com/mod/the-lost-cities) mod. The lootable chested/barrels added by this datapack are also compatible with mods like (https://modrinth.com/mod/lootr). ## Dependencies * (https://modrinth.com/mod/the-lost-cities) If you are using the mod version, dependency check should be automatically performed by the mod loader. **However, if you are using the datapack version, you must manually verify it is compatible with version of the Lost Cities mod you installed:** * Minecraft 1.20.1: You need The Lost Cities 1.20-7.3.6 or above starting from Lost Cities Modern Tweaks 1.0.7. * Minecraft 1.21.1: You need The Lost Cities 1.21-8.2.6 or above starting from Lost Cities Modern Tweaks 2.0.4. ## FAQs See FAQs in (https://modrinth.com/datapack/lost-cities-modern-tweaks).
