I do not manage to create generators

[Aspyro]

Hello,

I do not manage to create generators. I am building a relatively simple modpack with AOA3 and Generator Galore, but I do not manage to create generators. I tried both putting this in the Resource Pack and Data Pack folders. They are recognized, but nothing is added. Can you spot if I made a mistake ?

Relevant mod information :

• Forge 1.20.1 (47.2.0)
• Advent Of Ascension 1.20.1-3.6.31
• Generator Galore 1.20.0-1.1.0
• Just Enough Items 15.2.0.27

I don't see a json file for the actual generator definition

resources/data/generatorgalore/generators/limonite.json

I just tried adding one, copying data from iron generator. It did not work either.

Also

• now I'm wondering as I tried both and none worked, are the new generators supposed to be in Resource packs or in Data Packs ? First time for me making those so i don't really know the difference tbh.
• The file you mentionned to me wasn't there in your exemple folder, that's why I missed it. So i looked up the actual resources files of the mode code, and I didn't spot any other errors I could have made

Could you try and get one version for a limonite generator working ? I'm trying to make an alternative to Iron generator if you need context for actual data.

Thanks

I forgot how my own mod works, the generator file has to be in the config folder but not a config folder inside the datapack as you have it. In your instance folder there's a config folder, put it in there.

With that changed, I have the block up and working. But not the resources (lang/textures/model). If it only were the textures/models i'd feel like I made another mistake, but even the lang file does not work ... I tried dropping the folder in the 3 locations: data pack, resource pack, config folder. None seemed to work One fix at a time x)

resources probably need to be in a resource pack inside the resourcepacks folder instead of together with the datapack stuff

There we go ! It works now ! It needed still a little bit of changes here and there, but we made it work x) Maybe I'll write later today in another comment the whole folder structure with tips I find useful for first timer like me Thanks for your help, I appreciate it

So, there are 3 parts to complete to have a working generator :

1. Define the generator : this is done by creating a .json file with the name of your generator in the existing config folder. There you will need to put properties about your generator : generationRate, transferRate, consumptionRate, previousTier (if needed), bufferCapacity, fuelType and fuelTag or fuelList (if needed). Note: Are there other valid properties ?
2. Inside resourcepacks folder, define the following assets : blockstates, lang and models for the block and item (don't forget about the upgrade item if one is needed). Note : give an example of resourcepack that works
3. Inside save\...\datapack folder, define the following data : loot_tables, recipes and minecraft tags. Note : give an example of datapack that works.

Global folder structure :

Yet another note : How will that work for the datapack when publishing/sharing the structure ? What with the datapack ?
