Topic category: Help with Minecraft modding (Java Edition)
so I'm planning on making a new mod which compliments the caves and cliffs update, but there's one teensy problem - I was planning on adding a couple new sculk blocks, and I wanted them to be generatable by the sculk catalyst like the sculk sensor and sculk shrieker are. I just don't know how to do that.
it might just be a tag and I'm looking like an idiot or it might be impossible, but does anyone know how to do this? if so, please tell me, because I really, REALLY can't continue my mod's development since it just won't work without it.
while I'm at it, does anyone know how to make another block which acts like the sculk catalyst? I was planning on having some sort of other corruption, similar to sculk, but different in its own right that it isn't a direct copy. just to keep it simple, I'll refer to it here as corro. if someone could please inform me on how to do all of these things, I would be forever grateful.
If im not mistaken, you should be able to make a new procedure to do that. You can make after a certain amount of ticks, replace blocks around the starter block. Like in the block procedures do every () ticks, replace blocks with (). Im not very good at mcreator myself, but im pretty sure this would work.
If you get it figured out, your welcome. If not, im sorry XD
if that's for the catalyst, it'd kinda work, but I wanted something similar to the sculk catalyst, in which it spawns a charge and spreads blocks that way when something gets killed near it.
That i wouldn't fully be able to tell you. Maybe add a custom wave particle to admit whenever a mob is in the area or dies. Otherwise i wouldn't know what to tell ya.
thanks anyway. I'm probably going to scrap this mod idea soon, since I've just had way too much trouble with the entire sculk catalyst and corro catalyst things. if I can get help with the sculk catalyst, I'll probably just ditch the entire idea of corro catalysts, corro, corro vein, corro tendrils, corro gallolamps, corro geysers, and corro jewel clusters. I'll probably also ending up implementing the scrapped features as sculk gallolamps, sculk geysers, and echo jewel clusters.
for making the sculk catalysts generate your blocks: I looked into it, and didn't see anything that looked relevant, so I looked MCreators workspace file browser, and think it's got something to do with the SculkBehaviour interface. I've spent too long on it for my own good, so I'll leave you with the minecraft wiki link: Tag – Minecraft Wiki.
good luck
