Digging Deeper! -V1.3.1 for MC 1.3.2 (ironic? No!)

[Blade Avuari 1]

Still in the process of changing all this to Forge-forum stuff, but hopefully all the BBCode works.

 

I made this mod for Owen9456 of Minecraft Forums after he posted this:

How hard would it to be, say, make the limit of depth in minecraft higher so that we can dig/go deeper beneath the service? Or is it possible to change the 'ground' level of minecraft to be higher and thus have more depth? Just curious, I'm wondering if its even possible. It would be nice to be able to go deeper in minecraft, I always found the depths of minecraft to be a bit small.

I opted for the second choice-- changing the ground level of the world. As it turned out, that was harder than I thought, and it took alot of help, but I soon completed everything needed: Ores are at the correct heights, and the height level is doubled from original minecraft.

so... what is the point of this mod?

[Blade Avuari 1]

It makes the world taller. Taller world = more cavern exploration. Also, there will be add-ons to make specific things only appear under layer 64.

[OvermindDL1 331]

I had always considered a world that was raised by about 64 blocks, still bedrock at the bottom, but some adamantium ore veins running through it or so, with hell underneath, kind of like DF.  This is a good start to such a thing.

I'll get to work on that.

This mod will work really well with mine, Metallurgy.

 

I love the idea of it.

Which reminds me, I need to make an api so that other modders can have their ores gen on my mod.
