About this Mod
Monolithic Modernity
Did you know that in 1.19 monoliths were techinically possible again? Well, this datapack aims to add them back in the game! (although more commonly than in alpha)
Description
This pack uses a bug from 1.19 in which, if you multiply the terrain density function by a negative number, it shoots the terrain up into the the sky. Then, with a range choice, I made that terrain much rarer.
Tldr: I made a bug a feature.
Compatibility
This should be incompatible with any other that touches the sloped_cheese file, but it's fairly easy to make it compatible. For now there's a separate file compatible with Cascades.
Credits
- Special thanks to Hazel for giving me the pack idea while developing her pack, Seecret Sunday (Go play it!)
- Thanks also to 29Naybla for helping me test it in the a pack with Cascades. We're also making a modpack called Box of Snails, in which these will be featured. Check it when it's out and come hang out in our Discord!
- And finally, a huge thanks to DB3K's discord server. Not only it hugely inspired us, it also allowed a space to develop our projects.
