So I'd recently started a sanity check on my 200+ mod modpack. Basically I've removed all the mods and started re-adding them 5 at a time, running the game along with opis, and cataloging all tps/memory/fps issues. One of the mods which is causing me an fps dip is Streams. I take it you've added a custom renderer for your blocks? For each mod which adds it's own rendering pass it essentially cuts fps by as much as half. Is there any way you could use a pre-existing renderer (Either an API's or Forge's)?

Mods which add custom renderers are my biggest resource issue right now. I go from ~160 fps with no mods just Forge to ~18 fps with all 200+ mods installed.

Hey can you add a way to blacklist dimensions that streams can form in?

I got this crash when using the Aether II mod:

I don't do any custom rendering for the river blocks, the game handles them fine as water textures with a defined current. The slowdown most likely comes from the river generation process and hopefully gets better when not exploring, depending on Optifine chunk load settings and such.

I got this crash when using the Aether II mod:

It seems that Dendrology is crashing when trying to spawn trees in an area of empty space from Aether II (ground height 0). Can you double-check if these two mods work together when Streams is absent?

I'm having a crash with the Streams mod and the DEEP DARK added by extra utilities. It crashes during the world generation. It is reproducible with only those two mods running. Any suggestions besides blocking the deep dark?

was solved, not related to this mod.

I made a little video to show this mod to a friend.
I have Botania, Natura, Biome'O'Plenty, Streams - Real Flowing Rivers and Realistic World Gen !
I really like this mod, I always loved to build rivers system and making them flows was impossible.
This mode changed everything !
THIS MOD IS LIFE <3

Here's a teaser !

I have no issue with Extra Utilities and this mod. There shouldn't be any as well.
Post your crash log and someone will be able to help you.

Very nice video, thanks for sharing! You found some epic waterfalls there. The music fits nicely too.

we figured it out, was problems related to using the portal itself, not the world.

Thank you so much for this mod Those waterfalls were really epic indeed , I had to venture a little and track down this river to main source!
That canyon inside the mountain ! Oh my God, was so awesome!

Hey delvr, love the mod. Minecraft is in dire need of a more active environment and I think this mod is a huge step in the right direction.

I'm not sure if you've seen the CaveBiomes mod by WhiskytangoFox, but currently it appears that these two are somewhat incompatible. There's no crashes or anything, your rivers just simply don't generate for some odd reason. WhiskytangoFox briefly talked about this and said that as both mods are in their early stages that's bound to happen. Not sure if there's anything either of you guys can do at this point in time, just kinda getting the word out that they don't work together 100% yet. Would love to see them work together though, WhiskytangoFox even spoke of underground rivers utilizing your mod so that's got me quite excited for the future of both of these mods .

So I love this mod, but it really needs a companion piece added...the inner-tube. The MC boat is all well and good, but it breaks really easily and is buggy as an anthill. We need an unbreakable boat you can ride down these rivers in style.

Also, pro tip: Use this mod with Realistic World Generation. It changes everything.

This mod is so amazing but cant the flowing rivers replace the vanilla ones (Or do they already)?

They don't replace the Vanilla Rivers but if he where to do it it's just removing a Biome.

Thanks for your comment ArtyArtyArtemis! One unexpected thing about releasing this mod is how many other unheard-of mods I discover as commenters discuss comptability.

So I tried CaveBiomes and it's really nice. I did get streams in the world though. Perhaps you need to try a few more times?

Now I'm talking about surface streams here. Underground rivers are planned, in two stages: first tunnels above sea level, then rivers below sea level that empty in underground lakes or lava pools. All of this, as well as a basic API for custom worlds, will be part of an upcoming river generation rewrite. It will take some time, but keep the suggestions coming and I'll integrate as many as feasible.

Hmm... I tried a few different times... perhaps its another incompatibility. I'm gonna test it a bit more and I'll get back to you on it.

Really excited about the future of this mod though, especially with all those upcoming features you spoke of!

Weird, it appears to work flawlessly now. Oh well, haha.

Another suggestion/idea that's not so much about incompatibility as it is compatibility (if that makes any sense ). The Underground Biomes Constructs mod works pretty well with your mod already, but I'm still occasionally seeing the starts of your streams generating with the standard Minecraft stone, which isn't supposed to happen with that mod installed. A minor thing, I know, I'm not even sure if it's something you can control, but I thought I'd mention it just so you're aware.

so you cant load this mod in your pre-made world, i think this should be enabled by default however i also feel like it should be able to be disabled (for chunks that have been generated to be left alone)

the reason i say this is there are no good chunk pre-generators, my city is massive, to move it into another world cant be done without many chunks being loaded

I get crashes related to farseek when I try to generate it with Cavebiomes...

Can you link to a crash log?

I'll consider replacing the existing-world prohibition with a warning.



In other news I just added a video on the top post that showcases a creative use of the mod: ThnxCya's Villager Boat Race Challenge. Take a look!
