Customizing Castle Generation with Datapacks
Datapack Configuration Basics
Castle Shift Mod allows datapack customization to control how castles generate in your world:
- Spawn spacing determines how far apart castles appear—adjust this to make them rarer or more frequent.
- Separation distance controls minimum distance between individual fortresses, preventing overcrowding.
- Biome filters let you restrict castle generation to specific biomes or allow them everywhere.
Implementing Changes
- Locate your datapack folder in your world directory (usually
datapacks/). - Edit configuration files according to the mod's datapack documentation—settings are typically in JSON format.
- Reload your world after changes using
/reloadcommand to apply new generation rules. - Test in a new world first to ensure settings work as intended before applying to an existing save.
Common Customizations
Players often adjust datapacks to:
- Make castles spawn only in specific biomes (like mountains or plains).
- Increase spacing for a more exploration-focused experience.
- Decrease spacing for a densely fortified world.
Always back up your world before modifying datapacks.
