y_axis 🔗

y_axis is a Voxelibre mod that allows you to change the max depth of the world. This mod was made for Voxelibre but should work for mineclonia too, although I haven't tested it. This is my first mod.

Features 🔗

Modifiable Map Generation: You can change the max depth of the world (default set is -20000). You can go upto -24000 (Although more than this should be possible, but will likely lead to crashes because you will intersect with the End biome )

Config Settings 🔗

y_axis.max_depth (Max Depth)

Default: -20000
This integer setting controls the deepest point of the world's generation. You can make the world deeper, but going past -24000 may cause crashes as it intersects with other biomes.

y_axis.stronghold_depth (Stronghold Y Level)

Default: -256
This is the fixed Y-level where strongholds will generate. You can change this to match your world's custom depth.

y_axis.ores_offset (Ores Offset from Original Y Levels)

Default: 0
Use this integer to shift all ore veins up or down. A positive number moves them up, while a negative number moves them deeper. This is a quick way to adjust ore distribution across the entire map.

y_axis.deepslate_layer (Deepslate Y Level)

Default: -256
This integer determines the starting Y-level for the deepslate layer. You can change this to make the deepslate biome appear at a different depth.

Current Bugs and Problems 🔗

Duplicate Ore Generation: Currently, there's a known issue where the original ore generation near bedrock still occurs, resulting in duplicate deposits. This is due to the Minetest engine's lack of a native unregister_ore function. I am yet to find a solution.
Lava and Water Generation: orginally lava pockets generated around -31, but it can be inconveniant to have the same water and lava pockets from -31 to -20000, I have nerfed the lava pockets but I am not sure what' the right approach is from gameplay perspective.

Installation 🔗

Navigate to your Luanti mods folder (path_to_luanti/.minetest/mods).
Copy or clone the y_axis mod folder into your mods directory.
Ensure the mod is enabled in your world's settings.

I will soon upload this on contentDB so people can download it easily.

Usage 🔗

To customize the ore and map generation, you can go to settings and edit the configs in Luanti GUI.
