Description

Molten Vents is a mod which adds a renewable source of the orestones found in the Create mod, and by extension the many resources that can be processed from them. ![Dormant Vent](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/17fb1569eb2dffd5a84388fa2e27551a8b9021c3.webp) ## How to use: - Locate a vent; Vents are found anywhere on the surface, but are more easily found underwater. (Configurable) - Dig out the blocks inside of the vent until you find a block that looks like the orestones the vent is made of except with magma on it, that is the **dormant orestone**. - Explode the **dormant orestone** by any means. - Notice that the **dormant molten vent** is now an **active molten vent** by seeing the magma in it become brighter. - Dump lava (preferrably via an automated method) on the **active molten vent** and watch as the lava turns into the corresponding orestone. - Process the orestones into resources, or use them for building. ## Default Vents: - Veridium Vent - Asurine Vent - Crimsite Vent - Ochrum Vent - Scorchia Vent - Scoria Vent ## How to add a custom molten block Just add the name of the block to this list (a .json file that generates in the config folder) ```json {"values":["asurine","veridium","crimsite","ochrum","scorchia","scoria","exampleblock"]} ``` And then depending on your modloader: Neoforge - Copy paste any other file in the config/molten_vents/conductive & config/molten_vents/convertible folders. - Rename the files to the name of the custom block. - Change values inside the files (Conductive is a list of blocks the molten vent can convert blocks through, it must contain the active molten vent at minimum. Convertible is a list of blocks the molten vent can convert into the new block. (ex. lava -> asurine)) Forge Make a datapack that adds these two jsons: data/molten_vents/molten_vents/blocks/conductive/exampleblock.json (You can add whatever blocks you want here but definitely include these three) ```json { "replace": false, "values": [ "examplemodthataddsblock:exampleblock", "molten_vents:dormant_molten_exampleblock", "molten_vents:active_molten_exampleblock" ] } ``` data/molten_vents/molten_vents/blocks/convertible/exampleblock.json (The lava can be changed to any other block and other blocks can be additionally added) ```json { "replace": false, "values": [ "minecraft:lava" ] } ``` Example datapack can be found in the #datapacks channel in the discord ([https://discord.gg/HHqKa8vTAN]((https://discord.gg/HHqKa8vTAN))) Then make a resourcepack that adds the name translations, blockstates, models, and textures for "molten_vents.active_molten_exampleblock" and "molten_vents.dormant_molten_exampleblock" (optional) # How to make a custom molten vent feature Just recreate your own copy of the placed and configured feature jsons available in the base mod in the respective directories within your own datapack: data/yourdatapackname/worldgen/configured_feature/examplevent.json data/yourdatapackname/worldgen/placed_feature/examplevent.json Then add your placed feature to the forge biome modifiers: data/yourdatapackname/forge/biome_modifier/add_vents.json Examples are here: [<=1.20.1](https://github.com/Apothicon02/Create-Molten-Vents/tree/1.20.1/src/main/resources/data/molten_vents) [>=1.21](https://github.com/Apothicon02/Create-Molten-Vents/tree/main/src/main/resources/data/molten_vents) Discord: https://discord.gg/HHqKa8vTAN This mod may be used in any modpack.
