The God Block

The God Block mod was created specifically for the modpack of the same name, but can also be integrated into other projects. This modification introduces a unique block called "The Nothing" that fundamentally changes the survival concept in Minecraft.

Core Concept

The key idea of the mod is using the special "Nothing" block in combination with the VoidIslandControl mod to create a world consisting entirely of this single substance. The player spawns in absolute emptiness with absolutely nothing and must gradually build the universe from scratch.

Harvesting and Crafting Mechanics

When mining the "Nothing" block, the player obtains three main components:

• Quanta — fundamental particles of matter
• Atomic String — basic structural elements
• Universal Binder — the substance that connects all elements

Using these components through the crafting system, players can progressively create basic resources: from simple dirt and seeds to saplings, iron, and gold ingots. Ultimately, the player can reproduce the "Nothing" block itself, completing the production cycle.

Recommendations for Pack Developers

The mod comes with basic recipes that demonstrate the system's capabilities. However, pack developers are strongly recommended to use CraftTweaker to create their own thoughtful recipes that organically integrate The God Block and its components into the progression of other mods in the pack.

        B:endVoid=true

        # End dimension will generate structures (Only takes effect if end is a void world)
        B:endVoidStructures=true

        # Level where the horizon appears
        I:horizonLevel=40

        # Nether dimension will be a void world
        B:netherVoid=true

        # Nether dimension will generate structures (Only takes effect if nether is a void world)
        B:netherVoidStructures=false

        # Biome used for entire world
        I:worldBiomeID=-1

        # Special parameters customized for this configuration
        S:worldGenSpecialParameters=3;minecraft:air,255*thegodblock:thenothing,minecraft:air

        # Overworld generation type
        # Valid values:
        # VOID
        # OVERWORLD
        # SUPERFLAT
        # WORLDTYPE
        # CUSTOMIZED
        S:worldGenType=SUPERFLAT
    }

This configuration ensures full integration of The God Block with VoidIslandControl's world structure.

When adding The God Block, consider its integration into the overall pack balance. It's designed for thoughtful use in resource-scarce packs and is not recommended as a simple additional mod.

— Important note: The God Block does not perform independent world generation. Its function is to provide blocks for manual placement or use in survival mode after harvesting from other sources.
