Biome settings

Biome settings are used to customize biomes, default generation and interactions between biomes. They consist of tags. Datapack will be always imported, even if some tags are incorrect, so put them precisely.

Biome settings variable look

settings: [
	tag1,
	tag2,
	tag3,
	tag4,
];

Tag types

Type	Example	Description
switch	grid	Determines a single bool value. It might be only present or not.
parametric	density=5%	Determines a sigle int value. When it is unpresent, value will be set to default.
complex	ring.inner.change->20	Determines a complex array of integers. Can be used multiple times.

Tags

ID	Tag	Type	Parameter	Default	Description	Note
1	min=X	parametric	int <0;80>	65	Determines minimum biome radius.	-
2	max=X	parametric	int <0;80>	80	Determines maximum biome radius.	-
3	radius=X	parametric	int <0;80>	null	Determines biome radius precisely.	Overwrites min and max.
4	density=X	parametric	int % <0%;100%>	60%	Determines how often asteroids will appear.	-
5	priority=X	parametric	int <1;31>	16	Sets generation priority, when two biomes coincide each other. Part of a biome with a lower priority will be overwritten by another.	-
6	grid	switch	-	-	Disables asteroid offset. All asteroids will generate in diagonal grid points.	-
7	full	switch	-	-	Creates a 300x300 full biome square.	Don't use it in a good datapack.
8	ring.X.change	complex	int <0;80>	-	Determines at which distances from biome center or border asteroids will appear. More info here. Automatically activates tag precise.	-
9	swap	switch	-	-	Swaps empty space and asteroid space. Designed to collaborate with ring.X.change. Always executes after that.	-
10	structural	switch	-	-	Disables coinciding with other structural biomes and automatically sets tag priority to 32. Biomes with this tag engage two times more space in generation array because of technical reasons. Automatically activates tag precise.	It's recommended to put it only on structures.
11	arena	switch	-	-	Creates arena in the middle of a biome. Tag structural required to work. It is recommended to create empty space wheel with radius at least 50 in the middle of a biome using tag ring.X.change and to set minimum biome radius to at least 50.	Only manual asteroid remove.

ring.X.change

ring.X.change is a complex tag, which needs a bit more explaination. It determines at which distances from biome center or border empty zone and asteroid zone will swap. If you don't use any tag ring.X.change, the whole zone will be asteroid zone. There are two types of this tag.

Type	Parameter	Parameter function	Calculation direction
ring.inner.change->X	int <0;80>	Determines distance to biome center.	From center to border
ring.outer.change->X	int <0;80>	Determines distance to biome border.	From border to center

X is a parameter. You can use tag ring.X.change multiple times to set more values. Every usage determines distance, at which generation zone changes beginning from parameter. X=0 means, that generation zone will be switched to empty zone by default. If you use inner and outer type in the same biome, interpreter will choose empty zone if at least one of these types wants to set it.

Note: Remember, that biome ranges might be different for simlar biomes.

Usage example

settings: [
	structural,
	density = 100%,
	radius = 65,
	ring.inner.change -> 0,
	ring.inner.change -> 20,
	ring.inner.change -> 45,
