About this Mod

Random world names

Generates random world names for the world creation screen. Just New World gets boring after a while, doesn't it?

The default list of names allows for over 10 billion different combinations.
There are only two cases the default name is used:

  • Either your computer is too slow to generate a new name within the configured time limit (default 2 seconds)
  • Or you have so many worlds that no unique combinations could be found

Configuration (from version 1.1.0)

Config file

The config file (as of version 1.1.0) offers the following options:

Name Description Default value
name_length The number of words (name entries) to generate a name from 3
delimiter The delimiter to use for joining the entries (Space)
timeout The generation timeout (seconds) 2

In-Game configuration is possible if ModMenu is installed.

Resource pack configuration

Additional names can be added using resource packs, and unwanted packs may be blacklisted.

Adding names

Location: assets/random-world-names/names.json

Structure: Json Array

Example:

[
    "name1",
    "name2",
    "name3",
    ...
]

Blacklisting Packs

Location: assets/random-world-names/blacklist.json

Structure: Json Array

Example:

[
    "pack-id",
    "other-pack-id",
    "third-pack-id",
    ...
]

Note: The default names can be disabled by adding random-world-names to the blacklist.

Configuration for versions < 1.1.0

Versions below 1.1.0 only contain the functionality to add names using the names.json file.

That's it!
