Silly little server-side mod. Been experimenting with writing mods for a couple of weeks, wanted to put something up. In a friends multiplayer playthrough we have had trouble locating Kimberlite. This is a little cheat-y, as Kimberlite is an igneous stone and shouldn't create surface deposits like this- but, for the sake of stopping an endless search for this, this is fine! :) 

 

Important!

These loose kimberlite stones will only generate on new chunks, the mod doesn't modify existing chunks. Kimberlite still spawns normally, so be ready to dig deep!

 

What this mod doesn't do

- doesn't change the way kimberlite spawns

- doesn't 100% accurately describe the location of kimberlite- only that it is inside the current chunk, indicated by the loose stone spawn

 

Technical information

Registers on ChunkColumnGeneration, checks the chunks blockpalette if it contains Kimberlite and if it indeed does contain Kimberlite it has a 50% chance to attempt to create the stones. Will then try up to 6 random surface positions. If one succeeds, it will place up to 3 loose stones. 

 

Changelog

1.1 (current) config support, will automatically generate upon loading a world with the mod enabled. alternatively, this is how it looks:

fsurfaceindicatorkimberlite.json

{
  "PlacementAttempts": 6,
  "ChancePerKimberliteChunk": 0.5,
  "MaxStonesPerChunk": 3
}

PlacementAttempts  1 - 25

ChancePerKimberliteChunk 0.1 - 1.0

MaxStonesPerChunk 1 - 10
