Configuration

Game rules

Promenade adds 1 game rule to the game:

doBlocksGetSnowy
- Description: If set to true, some blocks may naturally turn into snowy variants when snow layers are placed on top of them. Currently, this only affects leaves blocks.
- Type: boolean (true or false)
- Default: true

Promenade's settings are used to tweak values of the mod's features. They are not meant to add new features or drastically change the mod's behavior.

In-game

If Mod Menu is installed, open the mods list, select Promenade and click the configuration button.

Configuration file

The settings are stored in .minecraft/config/promenade.json, which can also be edited with any text editor. This is the only way to change them on a dedicated server. Here are the default values:

{
    "world_features": {
        "igneous_rock_patches": true,
        "blueberry_bushes": true,
        "palms": true
    },
    "animals": {
        "capybaras_weight": 10,
        "ducks_weight": 10
    },
    "monsters": {
        "lush_creepers_weight": 15,
        "sunkens_weight": 10
    }
}

To increase or decrease the frequency of a mob, change its weight. Setting it to 0 or below will prevent the mob from ever spawning.

Warning

You must restart the server (or your client) for the changes to take effect.

Note

If you are a server owner or a modpack creator, you might want to let players know of disabled features in the first place. This will prevent them from researching why they can't find features for too long. For example, disabling a biome will not remove the related blocks (i.e. the wood set) from the game, but they will never appear naturally in the world. The blocks will still be visible to players using recipe viewing mods and such.

Biome placement

The placement of Promenade's biomes is data-driven: it is defined by Biolith files, which can be overridden using a data pack. Since data packs are per-world, this lets you use different settings in each world.

Each biome has its own file, in data/promenade/biolith/biome_placement/:

sakura_groves.json for the sakura groves
carnelian_treeway.json for the carnelian treeway
glacarian_taiga.json for the glacarian taiga
dark_amaranth_forest.json for the dark amaranth forest

For example, here is the default placement of the carnelian treeway, which replaces 20% of plains:

{
    "replacements": [
        {
            "dimension": "minecraft:overworld",
            "target": "minecraft:plains",
            "biome": "promenade:carnelian_treeway",
            "proportion": 0.2
        }
    ]
}

To change the frequency of a biome, override its file in a data pack with a different proportion. To disable a biome, override its file with an empty object ({}).

Warning

Biome placement is read when the world loads: running /reload is not enough, the world must be reopened (or the server restarted) for the changes to take effect.

Freezing snowfalls configuration

The glacarian taiga biome features freezing snowfalls. Entities that are not protected from the cold will freeze to death during snowfalls. The #promenade:can_freeze_during_snowfall biome tag controls the list of biomes that can freeze entities to death during snowfall. This means that you can add or remove biomes from this list, including the glacarian taiga biome itself and modded biomes by appending the tag using a data pack.

The list of entities immune to freezing is controlled by the #minecraft:freeze_immune_entity_types entity type tag.
