Boe's Earth

Boe's Earth

Description

Boe's Earth is a mod that adds additional blockstated to couple of vanilla blocks. Those blockstates may be later used by shaders or resourcepacks to improve visual fidelity.

Added blockstates

- `is_on_leaves`: Added to Carpets, Carpets and Carpets Example usage (Bliss shader): - Snow on top of waving leaves will wave alongside the leaves - Vines supported by/based on waving leaves will wave with them

- `snow_on_top`: Added to leaves Example usage: - Leaves with snow on top will have different texture

FAQ

A: *Snow/Vines/Carpets are not waving* A: *First make sure that your shader supports Boe's Earth, e.g. `Bliss`.      Then, make sure their respective blockstates are enabled in the config.      At last, naturally generated blocks always have the custom blockstates disabled, they will however update with time.      If you want to speed up the updating process, increase the `randomTickSpeed` gamerule, and decrease it back after to its default `3`/`5`*.      You can also force an update by placing/destroying the blocks

A: *There is a lot of lag caused by this mod* A: *You can disable some of the update logic in the config.      On neighbor update updates are the heavies one and can be tuned with max chain updates.      Random tick updates are the lighter and are connected to in-game `randomTickSpeed` gamerule*

A: *Forge version?* A: *The mod should work with Sinytra Connector, though that is not a guarantee in the future*

Documentation

The mods adds just another blockstates to existing blocks. The usage of those blockstates stays the same as for vanilla blockstates and any other blockstates added by different mods.

Outside of that, the mod also adds an Iris shader define named `BOES_EARTH_BLOCKSTATES`. It can be used to add Boe's Earth blockstates support to your shader without breaking compatibility with vanilla blockstates. That does not mean Boe's Earth blockstates are incompatible with Optifine or other shader loaders, but there will be no way to knowing shader-side if the mod is present or not!

Example usage - shader

Iris *(vanilla compatible)*: ```properties #ifdef BOES_EARTH_BLOCKSTATES block.56=minecraft:birch_leaves minecraft:acacia_leaves snow:is_on_leaves=true vine:is_on_leaves=true blue_carpet:is_on_leaves=true moss_carpet:is_on_leaves=true #else block.56=minecraft:birch_leaves minecraft:acacia_leaves #endif ``` ```properties #ifdef BOES_EARTH_BLOCKSTATES #define boes_on_leaves = snow:is_on_leaves=true vine:is_on_leaves=true blue_carpet:is_on_leaves=true moss_carpet:is_on_leaves=true #endif

block.56=minecraft:birch_leaves minecraft:acacia_leaves boes_on_leaves ```

Other shader loaders *(not vanilla compatible)*: ```properties block.56=minecraft:birch_leaves minecraft:acacia_leaves snow:is_on_leaves=true vine:is_on_leaves=true blue_carpet:is_on_leaves=true moss_carpet:is_on_leaves=true ```

Example usage - resourcepack

```json { "variants": { "layers=1,is_on_leaves=false": { "model": "minecraft:block/snow_height2" }, "layers=2,is_on_leaves=false": { "model": "minecraft:block/snow_height4" }, "layers=1,is_on_leaves=true": { "model": "minecraft:block/snow_on_leaves_height2" }, "layers=2,is_on_leaves=true": { "model": "minecraft:block/snow_on_leaves_height4" } } } ``` Or

```json { "multipart": [ { "when": { "AND": [ {"layers": "1" }, {"is_on_leaves": false } ]}, "apply": { "model": "minecraft:block/snow_height2" } }, { "when": { "AND": [ {"layers": "2" }, {"is_on_leaves": false } ]}, "apply": { "model": "minecraft:block/snow_height4" } }, { "when": { "AND": [ {"layers": "1" }, {"is_on_leaves": true } ]}, "apply": { "model": "minecraft:block/snow_on_leaves_height2" } }, { "when": { "AND": [ {"layers": "2" }, {"is_on_leaves": true } ]}, "apply": { "model": "minecraft:block/snow_on_leaves_height4" } } ] } ```
