Map generation and mod blocks

bamjo · Feb 10th 2012

I wasn't sure where to post this question, I hope this is the right place. I want to try a planetoids map like the one found here:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/…65-map-generator-mcterra/
but none of the map generators will add mod blocks. I have tried manual editors like MCEdit, but again only vanilla blocks are listed.

Does anyone know a way to add/generate industrialcraft ores to a custom map? I assume it can be done because I've seen it on several multiplayer servers.

Thanks in advance for your help!

1. Depending on the modder created his terrain generator, custum ores may be or may be not present in his maps.
2. Afaik there are editor tools permitting you to assign any ID to blocks, regardless whether these are known by vanilla, thus you could use them to populate your worl with IC ore.
3. Don't know any other way.

I know that a tool like mIDas might give you a hand. If not, just do some hunting on the MCF Tools section.

um.... I think Biospheres by Risugami generates mod blocks by default...

I guess the Ore-Creation is within Modloader. So since risugami should be familar with modloader, this could be the reason why ores spawn in the spheres.

I do not know of any Planetoids modblocks mapgenerator however you could use:

http://www.minecraftforum.net/…ore-distribution-v22fix2/
which works nicely with IC^2. It also allows you to adjust the other ores and even dirt/gravel deposits!

(this means you can essentially have Planetoids style gameplay in an normal world.)
hope that helps.
