Have been using this on 1.19.5 - haven't ran into any game-breaking issues. 

Only other issue I noticed would be how the biggest cairn's block name was displayed in regular survival play - minor issue though (says "Biggest-Cairn-Limestone" instead of "Biggest Cairn" or something like that.)

Really love the mod btw - an essential for Homo Sapien runs with no minimaps.

For everyone squeezing their brains about this mod being a rock storage method... Vanilla game already has a precedent of pile of sticks... 9 sticks in to 1 item which you cant uncraft, but can break to get back the sticks. Just make it work same way and move one. Cant uncraft but can break and collect back. If anyone wants to spend time breaking blocks after storing a ton of rocks like that - let them do that.

You could avoid these being a rock storage method if you make the stack size low enough that it's more space-efficient to just keep rocks as they are, maybe?

Or do you mean like, storing them in the world, like a bunch of cairns just in a cluster? Cuz I mean, if someone really wants to waste that much space to store some rocks... x)

Sleeves If you can't pick them up anyway then you might as well drop the stones required to craft them if you have an in world crafting method instead. Not sure how to do the latter though since placing a stone on a stone opens the knapping menu. Unless that menu could be abused to make like a cairn starter which immediately finishes and then you'd just add a few stones to it.

A good simplification of Vinter_Nacht's request would be to simply make the cairns drop nothing (including themselves) on break, so you have to remake them for each placement. I don't think anyone values basic stones enough for this to be a problem.

Maltiez oh so that's why it looks weird. I'll take a look at it.

💬 Maltiez, Dec 22nd 2023 at 6:26 AM

You missed a comma in line 3 of your en.json file so names are broken

💬 Vinter_Nacht, Nov 26th 2023 at 5:55 AM

@Spionbil - I am so on board with them not being a rock storage method.  Is there any chance of you introducing an in-world building method so that they can't be carried in your inventory, but have to be built on site?  I'd love it if they broke and were destroyed so they couldn't be reclaimed.

Vulkris I don't want it to become a rock storage method. So not likely sadly.

Poops of nature 

💬 DaimonAdrestia, Jun 3rd 2023 at 10:41 PM

Amazing!.. Just what I was looking for :) Thanks. Immerion enhanced for my rambling, rumbeling and stumbling and rolling about.

Btw.. the Icelandic term is Varða and are still in use all across the country.

💬 Vulkris, May 5th 2023 at 10:48 PM

It would be nice to have a reverse recipe so the stones can be recovered.

💬 SkeletonJester, May 3rd 2023 at 7:27 AM

Spionbil They should, barring any major changes to the way blocks are coded.

💬 SpionbilAuthor, Apr 30th 2023 at 11:17 PM

SkeletonJester I assume simple block mods typically stay compatible forever right? Yeah, they can definitely be hard to see at times, such as in grass. I've been happy with them though. Could probably add a larger size at some point.

💬 SkeletonJester, Apr 25th 2023 at 6:28 AM

SuspicousPickaxe Works fine in 1.18.1

Vinter_Nacht it's a grid recipe!

Spionbil It might be nice if these were ever so slightly larger - at least a similar in size to the boulders for the smaller cairn, and close to the size of a full block for the larger. Otherwise I find it really hard to actually see them ^^;

💬 Vinter_Nacht, Apr 23rd 2023 at 4:29 AM

Huge love... How do you make these cairns? Are they a grid recipe? An in-world interaction?

💬 SuspicousPickaxe, Apr 22nd 2023 at 5:32 PM

Does this work as of 1.18.1 stable?

💬 Soggylithe, Apr 19th 2023 at 7:13 PM

Cool idea for a mod, I love immersive stuff like this or anything that helps the no map life!
