HexLands

!(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alcatrazEscapee/hexlands/1. 19.x/img/splash.png)

This mod is an updated and rewritten version of the original (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/hex-lands) mod by superfluke, et. al. It has been rewritten completely for new Minecraft versions.

### Features

• Adds two world type presets: "HexLands", and "HexLands (Overworld)". The former which enables hexagonal terrain generation in both the overworld and the nether, the latter which only enables it in the overworld.
• Each hex contains a single biome. Hexes of different types are bordered by walls.
• Automatic compatibility with mods that add biomes to the overworld or other world generation.
• Many options for world customization via data packs.

### Configuration (Data Packs - 1. 19.x - 1. 20.x)

Worlds are now specified by (https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/World_preset) due to a change from Mojang. HexLands can be customized by adding a new world preset. The default HexLands world presets can be found here, for (https://github.com/alcatrazEscapee/hexlands/tree/1. 19.x/Common/src/main/resources/data/hexlands/worldgen/world_preset/hexlands.json), and (https://github.com/alcatrazEscapee/hexlands/tree/1. 19.x/Common/src/main/resources/data/hexlands/worldgen/world_preset/hexlands_overworld_only.json). They both make use of the `hexlands:hexlands` chunk generator.

In order to use a HexLands world for a specific dimension, you must change the `generator` field. It must be an object with the following properties:

• `type` is a string identifying what generator to use. It should be `hexlands:hexlands`.
• `settings` is a (https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Custom_world_generation#Noise_settings) used by the dimension.
• `biome_source` is the biome source, as in vanilla. It can be a known preset, such as `"minecraft:overworld"`, or `"minecraft:nether"`, or it can be a JSON object following the vanilla biome source format.
• `hex_settings` is an object with parameters defining how the hexagonal grid works. It can either be a known preset, which must be one of `"hexlands:overworld"`, `"hexlands:nether"`, or `"hexlands:the_end"`, or it can be an object with the following fields:
• - `biome_scale` (Default: 8) is the scale at which biomes are sampled to create hexes. Higher values create more random biome layouts.
• - `hex_size` (Default: 40) is the size of an individual hex.
• - `hex_border_threshold` (Default: 0. 92) is a number between `0` and `1` representing how much of a hex should be covered by the border. Larger values will lead to thinner borders.
• - `top_border` and `bottom_border` are both border settings which define how the top and bottom borders of the world are built. The borders between hexes consist of a bottom border, air, and a top border. If not present, this section of the border will consist entirely of air. If present, it must have the following fields:
• - `min_height`: The minimum height of the border.
• - `max_height`: The maximum height of the border.
• - `state`: A block state to generate as the border state. As in vanilla formats, this must be an object with a `Name` and `Properties` field. The `Properties` must be an object containing all possible block state properties in key-value pairs, and the `Name` field must be the name of the block.

Example

Below is an example object which can be used in the `generator` field of a world preset.

```json5 // Below is an example object which can be used in the `generator` field of a world preset. { "type": "hexlands:hexlands", "settings": "minecraft:overworld", "biome_source": { "type": "minecraft:multi_noise", "preset": "minecraft:overworld" }, "hex_settings": "hexlands:overworld" } ```
