Genflower: Enhanced World Generation and Loot Library

Genflower is a compact utility library designed to simplify the creation of datapacks and modifications. It introduces new structure processing tools and loot customization features that help accomplish tasks previously impossible or time-consuming using Minecraft's standard tools.

Loot Management Functions

Potion Randomizer: genflower:set_random_potion

This function enables random potion assignments when spawning in brewing stands and chests, making discoveries more diverse and engaging.

Configuration parameters:

• potions: List of potions with their appearance probability in two formats:
  • Direct ID to weight mapping: {"minecraft:luck": 1}
  • Objects in array: [{"data":"minecraft:luck","weight":1}]

In the objects-in-array format, the weight parameter is optional - it defaults to 1.

Usage example:

// data/useyourname/loot_tables/chests/your_loot.json -> /pools[]
{
    "entries": [
        {
            "type": "minecraft:item",
            "functions": [
                {
                    "function": "genflower:set_random_potion",
                    "potions": {
                        "minecraft:long_invisibility": 1,
                        "minecraft:invisibility": 5
                    }
                }
            ],
            "name": "minecraft:potion"
        },
        {
            "type": "minecraft:item",
            "functions": [
                {
                    "function": "genflower:set_random_potion",
                    "potions": [
                        {
                            "data": "minecraft:long_invisibility",
                            "weight": 1
                        },
                        {
                            "data": "minecraft:invisibility",
                            "weight": 5
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "name": "minecraft:splash_potion"
        }
    ]
}

World Generation Structure Processors

Block Replacement: genflower:block_map

Enables block replacement in structures using simple mapping rules, reducing code complexity for intricate transformations.

Configuration settings:

• block_map: Mapping between source blocks and replacement block lists
• probability: Replacement likelihood (0-1 scale, defaults to 1)

Configuration example:

// data/useyourname/worldgen/processor_list/your_processor.json
{
    "processors": [
        {
            "processor_type": "genflower:block_map",
            "block_map": {
                "minecraft:cobweb": ["minecraft:air"],
                "supplementaries:ash": ["minecraft:air"]
            }
        },
        {
            "processor_type": "genflower:block_map",
            "block_map": {
                "minecraft:deepslate_bricks": [
                    "minecraft:cobbled_deepslate",
                    "minecraft:deepslate_brick_stairs",
                    "minecraft:deepslate_brick_slab"
                ],
                "minecraft:lantern": ["wilderwild:display_lantern"],
                "minecraft:deepslate_brick_stairs": [
                    "minecraft:deepslate_brick_slab"
                ],
                "minecraft:mangrove_stairs": [
                    "minecraft:mangrove_slab",
                    "minecraft:cobweb"
                ],
                "minecraft:anvil": [
                    "minecraft:chipped_anvil",
                    "minecraft:damaged_anvil"
                ]
            },
            "probability": 0.25
        }
    ]
}

Container Block Loot Population: genflower:loot

Adds loot to container blocks that don't support the standard LootTable tag system.

Available parameters:

• loot_table: Loot table to assign
• blocks: List of target blocks for loot allocation
• slots: Number of slots in the block
• probability: Loot application chance (0-1 scale, defaults to 1)

Configuration example:

// data/useyourname/worldgen/processor_list/your_processor.json
{
    "processors": [
        {
            "processor_type": "genflower:loot",
            "loot_table": "useyourname:chests/library_bookshelves",
            "blocks": ["minecraft:chiseled_bookshelf"],
            "slots": 6,
            "probability": 0.8
        },
        {
            "processor_type": "genflower:loot",
            "loot_table": "useyourname:chests/library_brewing_stands",
            "blocks": ["minecraft:brewing_stand"],
            "slots": 3
        }
    ]
}
