How do I add a custom lightmap and skybox to Twilight Forest? Copying and renaming an existing lightmap (world0 --> world7) doesn't work. Same problem with skybox folders, but I imagine TF always being at the same time of day would effect how you have to make a skybox for it in the first place. Lightmaps and skyboxes for the overworld, nether, and end all load and work correctly.

Nothing like coming back to old threads and seeing how embarrassing I've been...

Is there any known way to add new biome decorators in the 1.7.10 version of PMP? I want to add PMP support to Tropicraft, Twilight Forest, and Atum, but the biome decorator files don't use the internal biome names, which makes me think it won't be as easy as copying and renaming a few files.

Nice and simple, I like it.

I'm glad this mod took off and is still going, it's such a cool idea.

After a lot of trial and error, I have identified the problem mod as Thaumic Exploration, of all things. I'm specifically using version 1.7.10-1.1-53. Version 60 doesn't work with the latest version of Thaumcraft, so I can't test to see if it fixes the issue.

Several stones do not produce their proper stairs and/or slabs when crafted. Off the top of my head, rhyolite cobblestone slabs craft as expected, but trying to make rhyolite cobblestone stairs produces vanilla cobblestone stairs.

Quote from Geethebluesky»

I'm still getting those errors with several soundfiles that are in the MSI pack. I tried adding old matmos soundfiles from legacy packs since the .json files referred to them but this didn't help.

For some reason, Matmos seems unable to find some soundfiles even when they are present.

I'd appreciate if anyone could look into this for 1.7.10 please. :/

I'm having this problem too. "Unable to play unknown soundEvent" for pretty much everything.

• Below 1000 produces sparse forests, pretty much vanilla density.
• 1000-1500 produces moderate forests, not much to say about them.
• 1500-2000 produces dense "black" forests that spawn mobs during the day as if they were caves.
• Above 2000 starts producing solid masses of tree, even with a "thin" tree type.

Prelude
Some time ago I downloaded the Minecraft Coder Pack and monkeyed with the Minecraft code, mostly altering the tree generator to make the trees much bigger. Eventually I decided to make public my little project, now known as the "BigTrees" mod. The purpose of the mod is to create immersive forest environments, inspired by forests I have been to, yet modeled to suit the Minecraft universe. I gladly accept any opinions you might have, and hope to continue updating the mod with new features, though very slowly.

Features

• Adds several large tree types using vanilla blocktypes.
• Sections of the forest biome are populated by either wide trees or tall narrow trees.
- Wide trees: Great Oak, Thick Pine, and Block Oak.
- Tall trees: Post Oak

• Parts of the forest biome still predominately feature the normal small trees.
• The small swamp trees are accompanied by big trees.
- Great Swamp Oak, Cyprus, and Hat Trees.

• There are big dead trees in the desert.
• There are large pines in some regions of the taiga.
• Vanilla birch and pine trees are taller.
• Huge jungle trees have more, longer branches.
• Roots! They sometimes find their way into near-surface caves or off of cliff edges.
• There's a configuration file now. (kbigtrees.txt)
• Planting saplings and placing wood blocks controls the type of tree that grows. (See Tree Growth Guide below.)

BigTrees 1.7.2 configured with Biomes O' Plenty:



1.1b: Added Cyprus and Hat trees to the swamp biome:


1.1b: The swamp at sunrise.


1.1b: A "Hat" tree. You can often climb all the way up them without destroying or placing a single block. (I named them "hat" trees because the leaf pattern reminds me of the conical hats some Asians wear.)


Hop in a boat and follow me! I'll show you a land with great forests and dark woodlands...

Here! An old forest of some sort!


The trees overshadow the land. Perhaps monsters will spawn?


Perhaps you should build a treehouse!


Let's fly over to the swamp.


Here it is. There are some great big trees in the swamp!


And it can be very dark in places too. Hey Mr. Piggy!


Wow, look how the roots hang off that cliff. Hey Mr. Piggy!


The trees are narrow in this woodland.


And they stand proudly on the great hills.


Even pine trees grow a bit taller in this land.


These trees are long dead. The dry desert has kept them preserved.


We've seen a nice variety of big trees here. Now download the mod!


Bye!

Patches for BigTrees and Better World Generation
Patches made by my brother-in-law. More to come, eventually, I hope.
First install BigTrees, then BWG3, then the patch. That way, BigTree growth patterns will always work.
BWG3-104 / BigTrees-1.2.5 Patch: (client 1.2.5)
BWG3-106 / BigTrees-1.3.1 Patch: (client 1.3.1)
BWG3-109 / BigTrees-1.3.2 Patches: (client 1.3.2) | (server 1.3.2)

Slow Computer?
The game might lag a lot while generating these huge trees on some computers. When this happens on my not-top-of-the-line laptop, I pause the game (which significantly increases generation speed) and let it generate for a bit, then unpause. The lag should go away once all your chunks are generated. Having shorter render distances helps. (I use normal.) (Also, lower screen resolution, not-smooth-lighting, and fast graphics help.) (But most of you probably have a way better laptop than my 2GHz dual-core buddy.)

Installation
1) Install Forge.
2) Put "BigTrees" in the "mods" folder.
3) Play Minecraft!

Tree Growth Guide

First craft whichever saplings you need.

Then plant the saplings on the ground in one of these patterns and wait (or use bonemeal).

This is a 100% community driven project, we have tons of extremely talented regulars who help contribute to the pack in various ways, whether it be directly making textures, making other art assets for this post, or giving management advice to yours truly. I may have made this thread, but this pack would have gone nowhere without all the support from Eld's very dedicated fans, and to that I can't thank you all enough. I know I left this thread for a long time, and I do apologize deeply for that, but I'm here now and I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon!

If you want a more direct, convenient way to discuss the pack, I highly encourage you to check out my Discord, where I've made a channel specifically for discussing the Eldpack! There is currently a Github link there if you want to help contribute, as well as an updated todo list for textures. Plus it's a good place to bounce ideas off of people and get quick feedback! The link is here: https://discord.gg/rnMsn5W

Before closing, I'd now like to introduce to you: the Wall of Contributors!! This is way WAY long overdue, but I'd like to finally give proper credit to all the people that have made and continue to make this pack possible! Without you all, this pack would have truthfully faded away years ago, so I'd like to give the credit where it's deserved

Eld

eldrone - the man himself, of course without him this pack would LITERALLY not exist

Top Contributors

freem - Github maintainer and current top texture artist, heart of the modern operation

Altswang - laid the groundwork for the future of the pack, and helped maintain it in my absence

SdSquid - crucial early member in providing many, MANY needed textures through many versions

Buster - responsible for a staggering amount of textures in a very short time; destroyer of TODO lists

_BIG_G_ - main (only) Bedrock tester, keeps all new textures named properly & found many oversights
Jared (pigpig278/lulls) - made the original thread assets, as well as the current ones still in use

It is simple to display the boundary of biomes.
Press 'B' key to enable display.


Can now change settings in the Chicken menu.


Now borders can be visible in the Underground and Floating Islands.

Why I made this because I wanted to see the border of MushroomIsland.
There may be use also to other.
