SkyGrid

An island that is a sparse grid of lone blocks hanging in the sky, bridged block by block, with chests, spawners and small structures.

A SkyGrid island is a sparse grid of lone blocks hanging in the sky, one every few blocks along each axis. Players arrive on a safe block at its centre and bridge from block to block. A chest in the grid holds a few of the chest items, and a spawner raises one of its dimension's creatures.

Turning it on

Set enabled = true in modules/skygrid.conf.
Add skygrid to presets.modes in modules/presets.conf.

The shipped preset skygrid starts with "uxm:skygrid". The Nether and the End are grids of their own blocks.

The grid

Setting	Shipped	What it does
`spacing`	`4`	How many blocks from one grid block to the next, along each axis
`radius`	`48`	How far the grid reaches sideways. Keep it inside half the grid spacing of the islands
`below`, `above`	`64`, `32`	How far it reaches down and up from the arrival
`spawn-block`	`GRASS_BLOCK`	The block players arrive standing on

Chests

A chest of the grid whose palette names no loot table holds chests.rolls rolls of chests.items, each written ITEM:min:max, as "IRON_INGOT:1:3".

Palettes

palettes holds the grid of each dimension by its id. A dimension not named uses the overworld's.

overworld {
    blocks = [ "DIRT:40", "STONE:40", "OAK_LOG:15", "DIAMOND_ORE:1", "CHEST:2", "SPAWNER:1" ]
    spawners = [ "ZOMBIE", "SKELETON", "SPIDER", "CREEPER" ]
    biome = "plains"
    loot = "skygrid"
    structures = [ "schematic:grid_tree:0.006", "schematic:grid_well:0.003" ]
}

Key	What it does
`blocks`	Each `BLOCK:weight`. A block of weight 20 stands in the grid twice as often as one of 10
`spawners`	The creatures a spawner of the grid can raise
`biome`	The biome the grid stands in. Empty leaves the world's own
`loot`	The loot table under `loot/` a chest is filled from. Empty fills it from the chest items
`structures`	Small structures a block may be instead, each `template:chance`

A structure's template is one of the server's own, a data pack's, or schematic:<name> for schematics/<name>.schem. The plugin writes the four shipped ones on its first start. A structure stands on the block's place, centred on it, and is laid only where it fits between that block and the next on every side, inside one chunk. Elsewhere the block stays a block. Its chests are filled from loot and its spawners raise the palette's creatures.
