Tumbleweed Mechanics and Spawning
Tumbleweeds do not spawn like traditional mobs. Instead, they use a specialized spawning algorithm tied to the environment.
- Dead Bush Requirement: Tumbleweeds primarily spawn in the vicinity of Dead Bushes. The mod checks for the presence of these blocks in Desert biomes and periodically attempts to 'spawn' a tumbleweed entity from their location.
- Biome Restrictions: By default, tumbleweeds only spawn in biomes categorized as 'Desert.' However, this can be expanded in the configuration to include Badlands, Sandy Wastelands, or custom modded biomes.
- Frequency: The spawn rate is governed by a timer. If there are too many tumbleweeds in a small area, the mod will throttle spawning to prevent lag and maintain game balance.
