Do you want to contribute to the default confige? Feel free to open a pull request. Default config files can be placed under common/src/main/resources/default_configs.
Note: the config version may occasionally change between versions. If the config is outdated, the game will log an error and instead load the default config.
The main config file, "excavated_variants.json", contains several options:
- blacklist_ores and blacklist_stones: A way of disabling specific ores/stones by name.
- blacklist_ids: A way of disabling specific stone/ore combinations. The value entered here should be the path of the block ID. For instance, for Andesite Redstone Ore this would be "andesite_redstone_ore".
- attempt_ore_generation_insertion: Allows the world-generation changes to be toggled. Useful if another tool, such as KubeJS, is being used for ore gen.
- attempt_ore_replacement: Toggles the much slower, but more reliable, ore-gen changes. Disable to speed up world generation substantially at the cost of less-reliable replacement of the original ore with its variants.
- priority: Allows certain config files to be loaded before others, in the order specified within.
Configs for adding stones or ores are placed in the "excavated_variants" directory. These take the following format:
- mod_id: The ID of the mod necessary for this config to load.
- provided_stones: A list of stones provided by the config.
- provided_ores: A list of ores provided by the config.
Each ore object takes the following format:
- id: A name for this ore. Can be shared to avoid duplicate ores.
- stone: A list of stones, by id, that this ore already appears in.
- texture_location: The location of the texture of this ore. The background material of this texture should be the same as that of the first stone listed in stone.
- block_id: A list of blocks of this ore, in the same order as stone.
- en_name: The name to be given to this ore in-game.
- types: A list of types that this ore is classified as. Matched at runtime with the types specified in stone configs.
