[question] how can i set a surface that generates up in air

Hello!
i have a few plans about making a biome that generates up in air (for example +10 000 nodes above the ground)
so people can start their survival on the normal mapgen, and then they can teleport up to the "second stage" or the mood or whatewer. im not a good coder yet, i work with examples, but i didnt find any good example for this. i only know the basics of coding minetest. pls help me! :D

floatlands?
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16933
im not sure how the the settings works, but
Code: Select all
if not minetest.settings:get_string("mgv7_spflags") then
minetest.settings:set_np_group("mgv7_spflags","mountains,ridges,floatlands")
minetest.settings:set_np_group("mgv7_floatland_level",1280)
end
or like the old moon realm?

multi dimensions?

oh hey, thank you!
wow why i did not find multi dimensions! thank you, ill take a look on it, and will learn how to make them :D
sadly the old moon realm download link is broken. (at least for me)
thanks for the help!

the dimations and moon are basically ores
eg:
Code: Select all
-- underground
minetest.register_ore({
ore_type = "scatter",
ore= "default:stone",
wherein= "air",
clust_scarcity = 1,
clust_num_ores = 10,
clust_size = 2,
y_min= 10000,
y_max=10100,
})
--dirt
minetest.register_ore({
ore_type = "scatter",
ore= "default:dirt",
wherein= "air",
clust_scarcity = 1,
clust_num_ores = 10,
clust_size = 2,
y_min= 10101,
y_max=10104,
})
minetest.register_ore({
ore_type = "scatter",
ore= "default:dirt_with_grass",
wherein= "air",
clust_scarcity = 1,
clust_num_ores = 10,
clust_size = 2,
y_min= 10105,
y_max=10105,
})

yeah thanks! i also found out that ore_type = "blob" is a better solution coulse if you set the offset to 1.0 it basicly creates cubes. it reduces the air holes a thousand of times. i also made a loop for it to reduce even further:
Code: Select all
for loop = 1 , 2 do
minetest.register_ore({
ore_type = "blob",
ore = "mars:stone",
wherein = "air",
clust_scarcity = 1 * 1 * 1,
clust_size = 3,
y_min = 9996,
y_max = 14995,
noise_threshold = 0.0,
noise_params = {
offset = 1.0,
scale = 0.0,
spread = {x = 5, y = 5, z = 5},
octaves = 1,
persist = 0.0
}
})
end
even if i dont loop it, its a big difference!
thank you so mutch for the help, i learn a lot from your mod!

Mapgen v7 has an option for floating islands at y = 1280.
Add this line to your .conf and start a new mapgen v7 world:
Code: Select all
mgv7_spflags = mountains,ridges,floatlands,caverns
Fly around at y = 1280 to find the floatlands and lakes.
You can set the altitude of the floatlands using these 2 settings in .conf:
Code: Select all
# Y-level of floatland midpoint and lake surface.
# type: int
mgv7_floatland_level = 1280
# Y-level to which floatland shadows extend.
# type: int
mgv7_shadow_limit = 1024
'shadow_limit' should be 256 nodes below 'floatland_level'.
(Or set these settings in the advanced settings menu)

Thank you for the help! though ill stick with the "ores", floatlands are islands, and i need mars in one peace xD thank you anyways, i may even use them as asteroids :D

Ok, if using ores, use 'stratum' ore (without the optional noises), it's designed to create mapchunk-filling slabs of nodes and is far less intensive than using other ore types.

You can also take a look at
realms, which is similar to multidimensions.
Edit: I just realized that this thread is 4 months old.
