Latest file for v1.18.15:
saltwaterbugfix_1.0.5.zip 1-click install


Three separate bugfixes so that vanilla seaweed goes in sea.

One of the bugfixes also applies to mods that add blocktypes that belong in the sea, so is generally useful.

Only really makes a difference if you set land cover to less than 100%, i.e. you generate oceans in your world. Does not apply to freshwater spawns.

Thanks, good to know, I'll see if I can fix it

Crabb I ran a test world in 1.19.7 with only version 1.0.5, and I'm not seeing any seaweed. I think that it might be broken. I've also tested 1.0.4 with the same result.

💬 CrabbAuthor, Mar 17th at 11:43 AM

It was working last time I tried it. I think that was in 1.19 rc.. Please let me know if it has stopped working.

💬 Mendall, Feb 20th at 7:52 PM

so is this mod working in 1.19?

 

💬 CrabbAuthor, Feb 20th at 11:20 AM

It's not fixed in 1.19. I provided a fix to the devs and they haven't applied it or even reviewed it despite me prompting them.

💬 DarkThoughts, Jan 8th at 10:54 PM

I was wondering why the oceans didn't even had seaweed when it already spawned in ponds and lakes. Do we know if this is fixed in 1.19?

Edit: With this mod enabled I don't get ANY seaweed at all - including the oceans.

Probably the salt water is placed first and the freshwater spawn doesn't do any checks. If it's the other way around, it might just be a matter of letting salt water replace fresh with brine if the salt is above the fresh. There's no brackish water type so don't need to replace in other directions.

💬 Barhandar, Nov 12th 2023 at 8:31 AM

Watersprings (single blocks of freshwater in sides of cliffs) can spawn under sea as well, and since freshwater for some reason displaces saltwater entirely, cause bubbly flows. Those would probably be easier to fix, just block them from spawning under sealevel.

Ok yeah that sounds pretty bad. I suspect there are a lot of issues with ocean gen that have gone unnoticed because there just isn't the content there yet, or even the means to dive down really.

I haven't messed with terrain gen much, mostly creature and vegetation gen. I'm mostly working on Barbershop at the moment but I'll see if I can find some time when that's stabilised.

💬 Barhandar, Nov 10th 2023 at 6:53 PM

@Crabb I mean that at the moment, freshwater can spawn under saltwater, at the oceanfloor, and it would make much more sense if it were brine (as in, halocline). Or absent altogether.

💬 CrabbAuthor, Nov 8th 2023 at 8:06 PM

Barhandar what do you mean by under-ocean water pools? I probably won't add much more to this mod.

💬 Catasteroid, Nov 8th 2023 at 1:17 PM

l33tmaan The BlockSeaweed class was checking for the liquidCode "water" so it would never spawn in saltwater, along with the NearSeaWater and UnderSeaWater blockpatch placement modes (that Saltwaterbugfix resolves) checking for the unused liquidCode "seawater" (as saltwater uses the liquidCode "saltwater) this means nothing can ever really spawn in the oceans without also spawning in freshwater using the blockpatch placement modes NearWater and UnderWater without custom code to restrict them to spawning in the liquidCode "saltwater"

💬 Barhandar, Nov 7th 2023 at 10:25 PM

"Saltwaterbugfix"? Can this also please have brine be placeable in-world and have under-ocean water pools generate with brine instead? And visible-as-actual-texture (rather than just the glow) underwater lavaflows. Or solidifying them outright so that the ocean doesn't have weird lit patches at the bottom.

💬 CrabbAuthor, Nov 7th 2023 at 10:15 PM

No mods are patched, and the intention is not to patch any mods here, only base game code in the most mod-friendly way possible. Instead, Wildcraft Salt and Sands module will depend on this mod.

💬 Lich, Nov 7th 2023 at 9:27 PM

what mods are currently patched?

 

💬 CrabbAuthor, Nov 7th 2023 at 8:45 PM

RogueRaiden The extra-long seaweed you ordered is ready.

💬 CrabbAuthor, Nov 7th 2023 at 8:31 PM

Length and depth is now configurable, defaults are 40 blocks deep and 30 blocks long. Roughly based on giant kelp and bull kelp stats.

💬 RogueRaiden, Nov 7th 2023 at 6:37 PM

ooooh

any chance of another "bug fix" for seaweed not generating deeper than about 10 blocks?

💬 CrabbAuthor, Nov 7th 2023 at 5:38 PM

seaweed goes in sea now

💬 l33tmaan, Nov 7th 2023 at 5:29 PM

What does this actually do, again?
