Deepslate generator

Indeed the more there is people on the server, the laggier it gets. The way the datapack works is that it will periodically check around each player (currently a square 64x64). And for each stone that is bellow a gold block, I place an custom entity, then I replace the bloc where the entity is, and finally I delete the entity.

One way to reduce the lag is indeed to reduce the range, or to lower people online.


One other way would be to build the datapack differently, and put for example an itemframe on the gold block with a deepslate block inside. Then instead of checking all around player for stone block bellow gold block, you would look for deepslate entity inside item frame, that is put on a gold block and with a stone block bellow. So you have way less things to check (instead of the 65x65 cube = 4225 blocks), inducing less functions calls so less lags. The problem with that is that it feels less vanilla.

I am currently working on a plugin that will include this deeplsate generator mechanics among other things. Plugins are less laggy than datapacks usually because you have to constantly run functions in datapacks to make things works.

One way to do it is to replace minecraft:stone to minecraft:cobblestone in the python script that is written inside the readme.txt. Then execute this python script, it will generate all the functions with a condition on cobblestone instead of stone

Thank you! I saw your pack it is a really nice idea to get gravel sand and lots of other blocks , I like it a lot!
