Create: Molten Vents

Molten Vents is a mod which adds a renewable source of the orestones found in the Create mod, and by extension the many resources that can be processed from them.

How to use:

• Locate a vent; Vents are found anywhere on the surface, but are more easily found underwater. (Configurable)
• Dig out the blocks inside of the vent until you find a block that looks like the orestones the vent is made of except with magma on it, that is the dormant orestone.
• Explode the dormant orestone by any means.
• Notice that the dormant molten vent is now an active molten vent by seeing the magma in it become brighter.
• Dump lava (preferrably via an automated method) on the active molten vent and watch as the lava turns into the corresponding orestone.
• Process the orestones into resources, or use them for building.

Default Vents:

• Veridium Vent
• Asurine Vent
• Crimsite Vent
• Ochrum Vent
• Scorchia Vent
• Scoria Vent

How to add a custom molten block

Just add the name of the block to this list (a .json file that generates in the config folder)

{"values":["asurine","veridium","crimsite","ochrum","scorchia","scoria","exampleblock"]}

And then depending on your modloader:

<details> <summary>Neoforge</summary>

• Copy paste any other file in the config/molten_vents/conductive & config/molten_vents/convertible folders.
• Rename the files to the name of the custom block.
• Change values inside the files (Conductive is a list of blocks the molten vent can convert blocks through, it must contain the active molten vent at minimum. Convertible is a list of blocks the molten vent can convert into the new block. (ex. lava -> asurine))

  </details>

<details> <summary>Forge</summary> Make a datapack that adds these two jsons: data/molten_vents/molten_vents/blocks/conductive/exampleblock.json (You can add whatever blocks you want here but definitely include these three) ```json { "replace": false, "values": [ "examplemodthataddsblock:exampleblock", "molten_vents:dormant_molten_exampleblock", "molten_vents:active_molten_exampleblock" ] } ``` data/molten_vents/molten_vents/blocks/convertible/exampleblock.json (The lava can be changed to any other block and other blocks can be additionally added) ```json { "replace": false, "values": [ "minecraft:lava" ] } ``` Example datapack can be found in the #datapacks channel in the discord ([https://discord.gg/HHqKa8vTAN]((https://discord.gg/HHqKa8vTAN))) </details>

Then make a resourcepack that adds the name translations, blockstates, models, and textures for "molten_vents.active_molten_exampleblock" and "molten_vents.dormant_molten_exampleblock" (optional)

How to make a custom molten vent feature

Just recreate your own copy of the placed and configured feature jsons available in the base mod in the respective directories within your own datapack: data/yourdatapackname/worldgen/configured_feature/examplevent.json data/yourdatapackname/worldgen/placed_feature/examplevent.json Then add your placed feature to the forge biome modifiers: data/yourdatapackname/forge/biome_modifier/add_vents.json

Examples are here:

<=1.20.1

>=1.21
