Disclaimer

I came to find that this mod was, unfortunately, the cause of horrid lag/stutters in my game, mostly caused whilst walking around but not necessarily when creating new chunks, could be hardware incompatibility, my specs ain't good nor old, but they wouldn't spike CPU/Ram usage either, just freeze the game(putting it in "not-responding mode" for a couple secs again & again.

EDIT: Sorry twin, this is a vanilla game issue with Dynamic Color Grading, seems to affect a select few

Does this still work in the latest version?

Lovely addition to CLO!
Q: Do the transiton zone thicknesses scale with world height?

It works at any height. NoizMakyr

Does this work for any world height, or just 256 or 320?

I love the implementation!  You've done an amazing job in making a good-looking game look even better :)

The game has different height levels where specific blocks are able to appear. For example, grass stops spawning above a specific height which creates a straight (and very unrealistic line) in the terrain. Same goes for things like snow where there is a very obvious cutoff below a specific height. What the mod does is change the heights at which specific blocks can spawn and adds more noise to break up the lines on the terrain to make them more natural looking. wombit

apologies if this seems a stupid question, but what exactly does this mod do?

i have read the description, yes, but how does it achieve it's goal of "making the harsh transition between different blocks less visible and improving how snow looks on mountains"?

Yes. The_Revisionist

Does this work fine on 1.22?

In addition to the grass-less soil on high elevations, it also seems to strip gravel and sand from certain dry biomes too, causing bare rock and minerals to be exposed to the surface across large areas. Honestly it looks pretty cool, but I'm not sure if that was intentional.

I think I had changed it because it didn't visually blend well with the rest of the terrain as grass. It's been a while since I messed with it so I don't remember the exact reason I had it like that specifically I just know it was done to fix some kind of issue I was having. GOODYOB

CreativeRealms Sure, that helps, thanks. However, is bare soil on top of hills intentional on your part? Like, if this is fixed by changing a value, why keep it as is?

In Conquest Blocklayer Overhaul v1.0.2.zip\assets\blocklayeroverhaul\patches\blocklayers.json you can change line 76 which determines the Y value of sparse grass (0.51 in the mod) and line 90 which determines the Y value of all grass (0.6 in the mod). GOODYOB

The problem with the soill blocks appearing above certain Z level instead of grass is most definitely caused by this mod and is not present in vanilla, nor happens with other mods, including Conquest Landform Overhaul, when this one isn't loaded. So I, like others, ask you to please address the issue

You'd have to go into the patch file and mess around with it. Rose_Thorne

is there a way to adjust the line where dirt and stone meet? the solid line on mountains looks really bad and was hoping this wuold fix it but it didnt
Also is there a fix the y level where dirt stops growing grass? I have huge section of the map where the dirt just has tall grass on it but the dirt itself isnt growing grass

I have oceans full of "floating" cacti on a few different world spawns running 1.22 rc2 This is the only mod changing world generation so not sure whats going on

Thanks for the fast reply!
Im currently using your landforms mod in pair with the new "Watersheds" mod and am getting some sweet, very natural results. Great work!

Yes. MAGp13

im assuming this needs a fresh world to apply?

This doesn't affect rock strata so using it should be fine. Darcy

Rock Strata Variety includes this note:

This mod should be compatible with mods that add new rock types, ores, etc. It will be incompatible with any mod that specifically alters the GenRockStrata.genBlockColumn method, as that method is changed and overwritten by this mod.

As someone not super familiar with programming and these particular parts of VS' code, will these mods interact negatively or overwrite each other? Trying to decide between the Conquest mods and TP for my modpack and the ability to use Rock Strata Variety is a staple for me. I haven't tried Conquest yet (I'm working on the spreadsheet for my pack from work, lol) but was wondering if the effects were known before I went to the trouble of testing. Thanks for any advice!

The grass cutoff happens in vanilla as well. The mod tries to smooth it out a bit but it's not perfect becuase it still relies on vanilla code. In terms of what needs to be changed to alter the Y value, look in the blocklayers.json file and change lines 76 and 90. enn SoupInCat

Seconding what SoupInCat said
the way it cuts off at a certain y is very awkward

i  would love to keep this mod but there doesnt seem to be any config that lets me change the max y for soil growing grass specifically, leading to HUGE patches of just soil covered in tall grass at high elevations at some very specific cutoff. 

Amazing looking mod I can't play without it from now on! However the only thing that pains me with this mod is the big reduction to the spawn of glacier ice. Since I need glacier ice for Food Shelves coolers, I had to install a mod that provides the option to harvest Lake Ice such as Icy Excavation. So there is a workaround but it would be nice if you made glacier ice more available. Thank you.

I beleive it does unless Terra Pretty edits the block layer file. Abra_The_Cadabra

Does this work with Tera Pretty?

Yes it's more rare and tends to only be found on icier mountains. The_Revisionist

Is it harder to find glacier ice on mountains with this mod? It seems like it.

Amazing mod hopeing for an update ;-)

Thanks for noticing that. Should be fixed now. LunaGore

The link to the Landform needs to be updated, currently results in a 404

I don't remember if I've tested it personally but it should as this mod doesn't affect the same things that Rivers does. K0TTINY

will this work with rivers mod?

Thanx, its probably because I've started them as Wilderness Survival. Panning it is, then.

No. I've found tons of copper with it installed. Tels

Does this mod affect surface copper spawn in any way? I've played in two worlds with it and traveled quite some long distances and have not yet come across a single copper surface bit.

I've been playing on multiple servers with the mod installed and have had fast chunk loading with no lag issues. It might be a server side issue rather than something to do with this mod. Also are you talking about the Wilderlands server or another personal one? RowdyArt

Just a heads up on something that im not entirely sure is fixable. This mod was responsible for massive lag spikes that were making our server basically unplayable. My best assumption is the generation of tons of bare dirt blocks next to grass causes massive lag spikes whenever the game ticks to spread grass as it has to check like a ridiculous amount of blocks everytime. If you have a solution please let me know.

It works on any landform mod as well as vanilla terrain. Oulana

WIll this work with any kind of landform mod and just rearrange how blocks transition or it only works with the conquest one that's being developed?

Look Gorgeous!

Looks exciting! I will give it a go in my next few hardcore runs.
