[Request] Catan mode

[DWX12]

So there are two similar requests, one for islands and another for more control over biomes. What I'm wanting to do is recreate a Catan board, but with options for adding more hex tiles if I want (closer to the Seafarers expansion).

What would be needed is to be able to set the maximum number of a set list of biomes allowed while having another list of biomes that would be used as the remaining biomes, which would be ocean or deep ocean if you're looking at a Catan board. In addition, there would need to be some sort of biome count to set so a player could set how many hexs of a specified biome shows up. To further explain, a player could define set one of biomes to be: extreme hills, plains, mesa, forest, roofed forest, and desert. The second set would be set to: ocean and deep ocean. This would mean that any biome that doesn't show up in set one defaults to a biome in set two.

It might already work this way, but I'd like to see only oceans boarding hexs that are not an ocean type biome and deep ocean biomes only boarder other ocean biomes.

I'm hoping that you can add these options in some fashion.

Thanks for such an awesome mod, all of your hard work, and being a part of the community.

What hex borders what hex is totally random based on my current findings.

I'm currently looking into seeing if I can accomplish some of what you're talking about using this and BiomeTweaker, although I haven't confirmed they're even compatible yet.

It should work with biome tweaker, though I haven't tested it personally I think that's the mod this video used to make the custom dim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOLZpSnmJ68

If you want to know how the biomes are selected, here's the magic. The hex grid looks like this: Just take the hex cords, lets say hex (+2, -1) then multiply it by 600 to get (1200, -600). What ever biome would normally be at those cords are whats selected for the hex. You can change how big the multiplier is with the biomeSize config.

If you really want to make catan hex lands, you might have better luck using the painted biomes mod, which lets you draw exactly where you want each biome: https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/painted-biomes

Good luck ;)
