Sky Archipelago v1.0 – Sky Island Generation Mod

The day has finally come! v1.0 release is available on CurseForge! Modrinth is pending review. I am extremely excited to finally be able to share this and unleash it to you all!

A quick FAQ to cover the main questions asked.

What is this mod?
A terrain generation mod to give you control over the sky islands that generate.

What version?
NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1

How does it handle vanilla structures like villages, strongholds etc..?
Villages currently are handled in a more hamlet-style, I hook into the same system but make smaller villages to align with island sizes dynamically. Strongholds however currently are not going to be handled in the first alpha release, since I have plans on how to tackle those.

What can I configure?
A lot.. A quick list;

• Island spawning density
• Cluster spacing from the parent island
• Island sizing modes (random vs specific)
• Random just takes min/max values and generates island sizes randomly in between
• Specific lets you control small/medium/large sizing ranges and what % they should spawn, so you can say you want 90% small, 5% medium, 5% large spawning
• Island Y range spawning, min/max for what height the islands are allowed to spawn at
• Vertical spawn band weights, for what % should spawn within the lower section of min/max Y level, medium and high for their respective sections
• Ocean enablement + ocean Y level setting

Advanced customization section

• Island Archetype toggles + weights
• Classic ( my default island types)
• Bowl crater
• Crescent
• Terrace
• Ocean block type selector (lava or water)
• Relaxed POI spawning rules (basically if my structure spawning logic is too restrictive, this will relax the rules to allow more closely to default Minecraft spawning)

Preset management section UI

• Save/load/delete/overwrite presets
• JSON paste of preset configuration, to load in via text or share without needing to pull the file!

In-game commands available for OP users

• /skyarchipelago preset create <name> [description] Description is optional
• /skyarchipelago preset overwrite <name> [description]
• /skyarchipelago preset export (gives you that configuration text you can paste)
