So I am working on a mod that has nukes but the explosion size is to small and it caps at 100 I think. So I used structures instead and it loads but it makes the block when I right click in the corner when I want the explosion in the middle. I need help I think I have something but I don't think it will work but ill try
EDIT: so I found some tutorial on how to make a sphere for an explosion but NOW IT DOES NOT WORK! I can't select it on the when block right clicked it is so annoying :( I will never make a mod because you guys made everything so COMPLICATED to program a big explosion but nope it caps out at 100 so I can't THANKS ALOT. You gotta make us go on a wild goose chase JUST to find how to make actual good explosions.
You ideally want the structures to generate without gaps between them, otherwise there will be a thin slice of blocks between them that are unaffected by the explosion. This is why the offsets have to be so exact if you want the shape to be correct. Also keep in mind the origin point is the bottom northwest corner, not the block itself, you don't want to be off by one.
...It's weird that you haven't been able to find any tutorials on this, to be honest. There's lots of mods out there that involve enormous explosions, and it seems like a pretty frequent question on the forums. My guess is it's just a pretty complicated thing to get working properly without totally breaking the game.
I would just like to take a moment and say wow Mindthemoods, that was a well written tutorial you have made :)
...Thanks @klemen! I 'm not sure totally if it's the best method though. I've been working with structures so long now I sort of default to them, but It might be more performance friendly to use some sort of function to target every block in a sphere. ...Math to target every block in a sphere is just a little above my paygrade though, and I kind of assume it wouldn't make a significant difference if you're trying to load stuff over multiple chunks anyways.
@Mindthemoods thanks for the tutorial but theres one last thing I can't figure out, how to get the mushroom cloud? I tried a block model in blockbench but it only allows a certain height and width and length so I tried particles but they were to small and moving everywhere so I made it spawn 1 I also changed the size to 48 AND put movement speed to 0.3 but now its just completely invisible and not showing? Do you know how to fix that?
Nevermind! I finaly got it working! I just need to fix something and it is ready!
after that im releasing version one of the mod! Thanks to you mindthemoods! ill be sure to credit you!
