This mod is a very minor adaptation of the Visible Terra Pretta mod by Craluminum and you should consider that one if it suits your needs. See https://mods.vintagestory.at/vtp for more info.
This mod adds rising particles from any high fertility soil blocks nearby that have replaced naturally generating Terra Preta blocks in 1.19+. Terra Preta must now be crafted by the player and cannot be found. The particle parameters make them visible even for blocks buried several layers deep.
If you like this mod, support Dana, who is a one-person mod machine. All bugs are on me though. I will be releasing source as well.
People have suggested combing this series into one mod but I will continue to support them as separate mods for three reasons:
- Do everything mods already exist.
- Expecting players to all know the technical details to modify config files is unfair to those who are too young, too inexperienced, or simply not interested in the tech, and just want to play the game. The built in mod manager makes it trivial to turn off ones you are not using right now and turn them on when you are, without touching the config directory.
- The indivudal mods support individual behavior and colors customized to their target blocks to make indentification easy at a distance.
Enjoy.

sorry I didn't get any notifications about your reply.
I'm pretty sure I did but I'll just do a fresh install to be safe.
Also what's the process of adding custom png images to the config?
I just tested this again and I do not see the rewrite happening. Did you accidently install v1.0.0 instead of the newer v1.1.0?
Hi there. I just would like to mention that the issue of rewriting the config is still present. is there anything that can be done on my end to fix this?
Malnaur Thanks for the suggestion. And yeah, with that mod I was indeed able to find some. It seems my "issue" is that I switched to smoother terrain gen from Plains and Valleys (or now Vanilla Plus testing) and it so happens that most of those patches are almost or entirely surrounded by other soil, so that there's no exposed sides to it. So unless I read the tooltip of every block I walk on I'd never even see it because the grass on top is of the same color than for other soils. I guess it would've been cool if the game would have some color differentiation of the grass depending on the soil type, or have maybe some little flowers spawn on top of high fertility soil or be part of the grass texture on them, or something else that would subtly indicate its presence. Your mod would definitely be too cheaty for my tastes. :P

The mod is not designed to work with movement as rapid as flying. The combination of processing all neabry blocks and the fairly slow generation of particles means you won't see them as you zoom around. Sorry.
Try "blocks overlay" with a large radius. If you stop and go, you will find what you are looking for far away and can then fly to it.

I am unsure of Malnur's mod but using Dana's mod if you move by too quickly, the particles don't have time to start. I typically run about 15 blocks and pause to give the particles time to materialize. They only start when you are nearby.
Thanks for making this.
Unfortunately even with this mod and flying around with speed 5 I still cannot find any high fertility soil. Terra Preta was rare but not THIS rare. Are there any mods that could conflict with generating this? At first I thought it was the Plains and Valleys mod, even though I doubted that terrain gen mod even touch the blocks / materials itself, but even after flying around in the ugly vanilla terrain I could not find anything. I'm really at a loss now.

Good catch. This was a bug inherited from the parent mod. Fortunately it was corrected there as well so I could make a speedy fix which seems to now work as expected. Let me know if it's still a problem.
Great mod, but I've got one problem. For some reason, the Config.json for it resets after Leaving a world (I think this is when it's happening at least)
So I'm able to configure it to be just right for me, and play with it functioning fine, but the next session with it I have to reconfigure it.
You're welcome. Happy hunting.
Thanks for this man. You're a real one
