Description
Mineral Collector
This is a passive resource generation mod for the Fabric API. This mod adds two main features: mineral vents and mineral collectors. Mineral vents are structures that can be found on the ocean floor. These contain a cluster of blocks that emit bubbles and smoke, indicating that they are a mineral vent and not a regular magma block. Placing a mineral collector block inside these bubble columns will allow the collectors to spit out resources on top of them every 10 seconds. Default resources are iron and gold nuggets.
Configuration:
The resources generated by the collectors can be modified using a loot table inside a datapack. Just override <your_pack_name>/loot_tables/mineralcollector/mineral_collector.json. The amount of time between each resource generation can be modified inside the mod config files.
Future Plans:
Make a better model and texture for the blocks added.
Add more varieties of collector blocks and vent structures.
