Realistic Erosion
This mod adds in realistic erosion somewhat based on the old erosion mod but includes new blocks in the soil/rock erosion path and also includes an erosion path for ice/snow
About this Mod
The function of this mod is to add in "paths" for erosion for context here a path means somethin more like a single line flowchart where one block erodes into another then another and so on.
Slight warning the mod may appear to be non-functional due to how it well functions but the code is designed to work but due to an intentional design feature, in order to better mimic real life erosion, the player may not actually see erosion happening unless they wait a long time because the erosion code picks a random block then checks it then picks hopefully another random block and so on and sometimes it can pick the same random block multiple times but this is rare
