RoadWeaver - Tectonic V3

A TectonicV3 compatible version of the RoadWeaver mod.

Description

Disclaimer: This fork adds support for Tectonic v3 only. No other improvements over the original RoadWeaver have been implemented (yet?).

This is a fork of the original RoadWeaver by shiroha, with support for Tectonic v3. All credit for the original mod belongs to its creator.

A Minecraft mod that automatically generates beautiful roads between villages or custom structures.

Intelligent Pathfinding: Multiple pathfinding algorithms that avoid steep and dangerous areas; adjusts routes based on terrain height, biomes, and ground stability
Bezier Curves: Applies Bezier curve smoothing to polyline paths, creating natural smooth curves and avoiding sharp turns
Multiple Road Types:
- Artificial roads: (stone bricks, slabs), (dirt, mud bricks), etc., or customize your own in the preset editor
- Natural roads: Biome-adaptive road materials
Obstacle Avoidance: Cuts, fills terrain and removes trees to ensure road passability
Tunnel & Bridge System: Tunnels through mountains, bridges over water
Slab System: Fills slabs at elevation changes to improve passability
Road Foundation: Smoothly interpolates surrounding height field based on road elevation, fills foundation only when road is above original terrain, creating natural convex slopes that blend seamlessly with the landscape

Lamp System: Redstone lamps with automatic day/night control
Signpost System: Distance markers and directional signs
Roadside Structure Decorations: Randomly generates benches, campfires and other decorative structures along roads

Performance Optimization: Multi-threaded async generation with concurrency control; height and terrain caching to reduce redundant calculations
Multiple Network Planning Algorithms: KNN (sparsest) / Delaunay (densest) / RNG (balanced)
Multiple Pathfinding Algorithms: A* / Bidirectional A* / Fluid Simulation
Road Block Customization: Mix and match in the preset editor

Visual Debugging: Road network map; status colors (planned/generating/completed/failed); interactions (drag, zoom, right-click teleport); statistics for road count, length and status
Manual Link Mode: Plan road networks according to your preferences

New versions (2.0.0+) completely abandon the old /locate command search mechanism, no longer blocking the game main thread
Structure prediction, road network planning and pathfinding all run in dedicated thread pools; main thread only handles driving and result application

This fork supports Tectonic 3.0.28 on NeoForge 1.21.1, including custom terrain height limits and alternate noise scaling. See the Tectonic 3 guide and configuration reference.
Existing chunks and roads are preserved when updating. Roads appear as new chunks generate; previously explored chunks are not paved retroactively.
This mod relies on vanilla mechanics, so it's incompatible with mods that overhaul vanilla mechanics like TerraFirmaCraft: The Next Generation

Incompatibility symptoms:

Performance factors:

Auto Generation: Roads automatically generate between structures after entering the world
Road Network Map: Press H to open the debug map and view the road network
Configuration: Cloth Config API settings screen (built-in since 2.0.2), accessible from the world creation screen or by pressing H in-game and clicking the top-right corner

The more structures configured to locate when loading a world, the longer world creation takes, but the more complete the road network
Roads cannot generate on already-loaded chunks, so don't approach road segments before they finish generating

Just creating...
