Biome settings variable look

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

note

Square brackets [] are not needed here. They just look nice, so you should use them ;)

warning

Datapack will be always imported even if some tags are incorrect, so put them precisely.

Tag types

Type	Example	Description
switch	grid	Determines a single boolean value. It might be present or not.
parametric	density=5%	Determines a sigle integer value. When it is not present, value will be set to default.
color	bgcolor-255-255-255	Determines background color.

Tags

Tag	Type	Parameter	Default	Description
min=X	parametric	int <0;80>	65	Determines minimum biome radius.
max=X	parametric	int <0;80>	80	Determines maximum biome radius.
radius=X	parametric	int <0;80>	65-80	Determines biome radius precisely.
gradient=X	parametric	int <0;80>	80	Determines radius at which background color gradient occurs. Will be reduced to biome range if greater.
density=X	parametric	int % <0%;100%>	60%	Sets the chance for asteroids to appear.
priority=X	parametric	int <1;31>	16	Sets generation priority, when two biomes coincide each other. Part of biome with a lower priority will be overwritten by another one.
grid	switch	-	-	Disables asteroid offset. All asteroids will generate in diagonal grid points.
even	switch	-	-	Forces biome to generate its center only on even asteroid squares (without asteroids).
odd	switch	-	-	Forces biome to generate its center only on odd asteroid squares (with asteroids).
spawn	switch	-	-	Generates biome always on spawn. You can improve the effect by using tag centred.
centred	switch	-	-	Disables biome offset. Designed to use together with spawn.
structural	switch	-	-	Disables coinciding with other structural biomes and automatically sets tag priority to 32. Biomes with this tag take up two times more space in generation array. It's recommended to put it only on structures.
struct=X	parametric	int <1;31>	0	Creates a custom structure in the middle of a biome. Requires structural tag to work.
bgcolor-R-G-B	color	3x int <0;255>	167-222-255	Sets the background color of a biome.
boss.N.color-R-G-B	color	1x int <0;6>, 3x int <0;255>	167-222-255	Sets the background color for boss with ID = N. Works globally, so it's not a typical tag.

Usage example

You can see, how arena was configured below:

settings: [
    bgcolor-212-218-224,
    structural, struct=4,
    radius = 80, even,
    density = 100%,
];
