Este mod solo affecta Terra Petra, si gustas tener los mismos effectos para tiera de alta fertilidad use este mod embez, hace lo miso.

Visible High Fertility Particles

BirbNerb, Mar 2nd 2025 at 7:50 PM

DanaCraluminum I'm having the same issue as @Byucknah the config just resets to default values. I see it should only reset if there are errors but for instance, If I change only LifeLength "avg" from 3 to 2. It resets. Surly just this one small change shouldn't cause an error

Mardoock, Feb 14th 2025 at 10:07 PM

Ahora que la Terra Petra ya no se genera de forma natural, este mod ahora detecta la tierra de alta fertilidad o simplemente quedo obsoleto?

 

Byucknah, Dec 31st 2024 at 6:43 PM

The Mod Config file overwrites itself after leaving a world. If you modify the particle settings in "VisibleTerraPretaParticlesConfig.json" and enter a game it looks fine but when you leave and re-enter it overwrites the files upon leaving the game with the default values. As such, "VisibleTerraPretaParticlesConfig.json" is a pointless file because the mod itself is constantly overwiriting it back to defaults. In addition, attemting to set the file to read only will simple break it entirely.

Ijkdenem Only non-tilled blocks

Ijkdenem, Nov 22nd 2024 at 5:11 PM

does this make the farm have particles or just the WILD blocks have the effect?

Yololator, Nov 20th 2024 at 8:21 PM

it works in 1.20.13 for any interested person (pre)

rayllis689 No hotkey yet

rayllis689, Aug 21st 2024 at 2:39 AM

Any way to add a toggle to this? It's great when you're out exploring in the wild but annoying before you till it into farmland

Pamela, Feb 19th 2024 at 8:39 PM

Any chance of an update for this??  The config file keeps reverting, as previously stated.

sushieater, Feb 2nd 2024 at 12:59 PM

Instead of

if (api != null)

do a

else if (api != null)

DanaCraluminum , Feb 2nd 2024 at 11:52 AM

sushieater Absolutely no clue how to fix it

sushieater, Feb 2nd 2024 at 10:27 AM

DanaCraluminum

Your ConfigParticles has a bug. It always generates a default config that gets stored:

DanaCraluminum , Jan 31st 2024 at 7:56 AM

Mohaim It reverts only when there is error

Mohaim, Jan 31st 2024 at 2:26 AM

How do I get my custom config to stick? When I try to edit the config file, it gets overwritten with the default values. If I make the file read-only, the mod doesn't work anymore and the particles don't show at all.

DanaCraluminum , Jan 20th 2024 at 4:15 PM

Malnaur This is what mod configurations are for

Malnaur, Jan 20th 2024 at 1:50 PM

DanaCraluminum

What I like about the specific mod set is the ability to turn them on or off easily in the mod manager.

DanaCraluminum , Jan 19th 2024 at 8:59 PM

Malnaur My mod allows to add resin blocks to configuration, but only one particle thing for all blocks sadly

Malnaur, Jan 19th 2024 at 8:45 PM

JD2 I just put the resin particle mod up as my first mod. Search for Visible Resin Particles

DanaCraluminum , Jan 19th 2024 at 8:38 AM

Okay I just checked it again, it only affects blocks with fertility "high" (terra preta) and doesn't affect fertility "compost" which High fertility is using

DanaCraluminum , Jan 19th 2024 at 8:28 AM

Hemril Looks like blockcode that should produce particles didn't change in 1.19, so my mod still works

DanaCraluminum , Jan 4th 2024 at 6:15 PM

Thap Yes it is game limitation

DanaCraluminum , Jan 4th 2024 at 6:15 PM

Hemril Yes

Hemril, Jan 4th 2024 at 6:09 PM

I assume stable 1.19 will have to come out first before switching it around to the high fert soil that generates now?

Thap, Dec 30th 2023 at 8:41 AM

The particles only appear if you're about less than 70 blocks away. Is it a game limitation?

JD2, Dec 22nd 2023 at 4:28 AM

Malnaur  Any chance you can share the resin version?

Malnaur, Dec 9th 2023 at 2:18 AM

I made a variant for resin and played with the velocities so the particles spawn more horzontally and slowly fall downward. Works great!

Malnaur, Dec 7th 2023 at 1:15 AM

Go for it! I did like the hacked copies since I could use different colors for the particles depending on what it was. The colors did not seem orrect for the HSV values I tried but they were definitely different. I also played with glow particles. Neat.

DanaCraluminum , Dec 5th 2023 at 7:19 PM

Malnaur I want to add meteorite and halite particles to this mod

Malnaur, Dec 5th 2023 at 6:39 PM

@DanaCraluminum Confirmed! I hacked a copy of your module for blocks matching '*halite*' and it worked fine for a world I have where I found a halite deposit. I buried a halite block under  a layer of dirt below a layer of sand and the particles floated through both. Please go ahead and create two mods to cover halite and meteoritic iron desposits.  You did 99.9% of the work and you deserve the credit/subs. I suspect TerrainCollision=false is why the intervening layers don't matter.

Malnaur, Dec 5th 2023 at 1:06 AM

Apparently you do @DanaCraluminum :) I put down a TP block and surrounded it on six sides with soil blocks and the particles wafted up just fine! It might require a taller max height to be sure you clear the top layers I suppose. And halite while you are at it ;) At least salt beds will be visible.

DanaCraluminum , Dec 4th 2023 at 10:59 PM

Malnaur I don't know how to make particles pass through blocks

Malnaur, Dec 4th 2023 at 10:54 PM

Love this! Can you do the identical thing with meteoric iron?

VaelophisNyx, Aug 19th 2023 at 12:37 AM

psst, you should lower the default particle count to 0.1 instead of 1.5

 

just need a hint, not a wall of Stench

_Mason Chemist Added config

Chemist, Aug 11th 2023 at 1:05 PM

Hi. Was hoping to see how I can make the particles more visible? I dont really understand the json files. Not a programmer.

Rivernoodl, Aug 8th 2023 at 12:18 AM

Thanks, DanaCraluminum, That's all I need to know.

DanaCraluminum , Aug 6th 2023 at 11:14 AM

Rivernoodl It only works with Terra Preta

Rivernoodl, Aug 6th 2023 at 4:30 AM

Does this mod work with Terra Tweak?  Just curious.

_Mason, Apr 24th 2023 at 10:05 AM

Craluminum if you can, that would be fantastic. Thanks for the effort, I tried some basic modding when I found a mod that didn't have the values I like, but so much is still way beyond me.

DanaCraluminum , Apr 24th 2023 at 9:54 AM

_Mason I can make particles configurable

_Mason, Apr 24th 2023 at 9:46 AM

The particles are a bit too tall. I like the idea but maybe make the particles disappear 2-3 blocks high? And have fewer particles in general. It would be harder to find terra preta, but still this looks like a forest fire more than "stink lines".

SuurflieG, May 11th 2022 at 1:22 AM

Foxy_Grandpa I can confirm this does indeed world on an pre existing world, finally found some after what feels like forever

DisVern, May 2nd 2022 at 4:34 PM

Does this require a new world to be made or can it be added to a pre-existing world?
