About

When you create a new world, you will spawn in the nether at a portal. Your inventory contains a set of standard nether entry items you would have in a usual hypermodern RSG situation where you intend to do bastion trades. Beat the dragon and reach the credits as usual.

The bundled inventory for the Bastion/default category

The bundled inventory for the Monument category

The bundled inventory for the Classic category

You cannot customise the number, type or durability of the items in your inventory but you can adjust what slot they're in. You do this through editing .minecraft/config/noverworld-X.X.X.json.

(At the moment the slot of non-unique items, eg. the beds in classic, are not directly configurable. They are automatically put into the first free slot, so you can move them around by editing the location of the unique items.)

{
  "f3Enabled": true,
  "recipeBookEnabled": true,
  "inventory": [
    {
      "name": "wooden_axe",
      "slot": 1
    },
    ...
    {
      "name": "bread",
      "slot": 41
    }
  ]
}

The slots to inventory mapping. ie. if you want to put something in the hotbar, use slot 41.

Every new release of noverworld will create a new config file, so if you want to use your slot config from the previous version copy it over. This is to allow players to easily use different releases of the mod (eg. Bastion to Monument) at the same time without having to delete their config file every time.

Before you join a new world the mod saves your render distance and FOV, and resets to this after you leave the world. ie. this means you can configure the RD and FOV you will always spawn with by changing it in the main menu, and you don't have to reset these settings to your preferred defaults in between runs.

Depending on the version you are using the f3 menu will be automatically opened for you.

When you spawn your yaw (facing angle) is randomised. The y height of the portal the mod attempts to target is also randomly determined using a different distribution per release. You can see this distribution in fixed_config.json (Make sure to switch to the right branch)

All random values in the mod are deterministically derived from your world seed, meaning creating a world with the same seed will yield the same yaw and targeted y height. Therefore, the mod is suitable for SSG

Creating your own custom inventory

"spawnShiftRange": {
  "50-100": 60,
  "101-250": 40
}

This determines the distance the player's spawn will be shifted from the world spawn (radius). The key is a range in the format "min-max" and the value is the relative weight that should be given to that range.

"spawnYHeightDistribution": {
  "7-13": 80,
  "14-59": 5,
  "60-75": 10,
  "76-90": 5
}

This determines the player's targeted y height when generating a portal. The key is a range in the format "min-max" and the value is the relative weight that should be given to that range.

"playerAttributes": {
  "health": 17.0,
  "hunger": 15.0,
  "saturation": 3.0
}

This determines the player's health, hunger and saturation.

{
  "name": "iron_boots",
  "tags": "{Enchantments:[{id:soul_speed,lvl:1}]}",
  "count": "0-4",
  "damage": 20,
  "slot": 36,
  "editable": true,
  "unique": true
}

Key	Value
name	The name of the item in the registry eg. "iron_axe". If you want to add an item from outside of minecraft (eg. from a mod) you need to include the mod id like this: "modid:moddeditem"
tags (optional)	The nbt tags of the item, in JSON notation. Useful for things like enchantments. You shouldn't do damage/durability through here, do it using the "damage" key.
count	A range in the format "min-max". The number of items will be randomly chosen from that range using a uniform distribution.
damage (optional)	Use this to change the durability of the item. Ie. a pickaxe which has mined 10 blocks will have 10 damage.
slot	The slot the item occupies in the inventory. Note that while the user config starts counting from 1, fixed_config follows Java array conventions. Therefore, slot 1 of the hotbar = 0.
editable	Whether the slot of this item should be user configurable.
unique	Whether this item is unique or is one of many of the same type (eg. multiple beds). Note: you can make the first of a set of multiple items unique and thus user configurable.

Support

If you have a problem with the mod, a question or experience a crash follow these steps:

1. Check the README to see if there's any relevant info on there, particularly the FAQ section.
2. If you have a question, ask it on the GitHub Discussions Q&A section here.
3. Check the GitHub Releases to see if a newer build has been released that addresses your problem.
4. If you're experiencing a crash, make a GitHub issue and include the crash report.
5. If none of the above steps are helpful, DM me on discord (I'm in HBG Hub, Javacord etc. under this name). I don't mind being pinged for help requests either.

FAQ

• How do I download the mod?
  • The releases page on this GitHub repo.
• What file do I download? There's a bunch.
  • There are three groups, one for each category (BASTION, MONUMENT and CLASSIC). Refer to the start of this README for the differences between each category.
  • Then download the release version of the mod ie. noverworld-x.x.x.jar instead of noverworld-x-x-x-dev.jar and put it in your mods folder.
• How do I change the hotbar/inventory?
  • Using the config file at .minecraft/config/noverworld-X.X.X.json.
• How do I change what items are in my hotbar/inventory?
  • You can't easily do so. The three Noverworld categories have fixed inventories, you can change the slots your items are in but not their type, durability or count.
  • If you really want to change the items, you can do so by editing fixed_config.json and recompiling the mod, but beware that this will make your runs unverifiable for the leaderboards.
    • See the Creating your own custom inventory section for more information.
    • If you don't have a java and fabric development environment, I believe you can still edit the file by renaming the .jar to a zip, editing the file then rezipping and renaming to .jar.
• How do I reset my hotbar to the default included in the mod?
  • Delete the config file at .minecraft/config/noverworld-X.X.X.json. When you create a new world or reload the game the defaults will be applied.
• I updated the mod and my inventory slot config has been reset, what gives?
  • Every new version of the mod writes a new file, just copy your settings over. Read above for an explanation of why.
• How do I set my FOV and render distance default?
  • Edit those values in the game's main menu (ie. outside of a world) and they'll be saved.
• I want to run noverworld without f3
  • Set f3Enabled to false in the config file. This won't automatically open f3 before you spawn.
• I don't book craft so I don't want the recipe book to be automatically opened by default.
  • Set recipeBookEnabled to false in the config file. This won't automatically open the recipe book pane before you spawn.
• I have a suggestion for improvement.
  • Put it on the Github Discussions Idea section here
  • Or message me on Discord.
• The mod is crashing while launching with java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
  • Make sure you are running the release version of the mod ie. noverworld-x.x.x.jar instead of noverworld-x-x-x-dev.jar
• Is this incompatible with any mods:
  • This mod has been tested and confirmed to work with:
    • Sodium
    • Lithium
    • Starlight
    • FastReset (doesn't save world)
    • AutoReset (automatically reset worlds w/o macro) note: some users have reported problems with this mod
    • LazyDFU
    • Chunk Mod (delay spawn chunk gen until after spawning). Tested with noverworld 2.3.0, may be compatible with older versions. Depending on your system the performance improvement from this can be quite dramatic eg. 4x faster loads.
    • Moonlight (threaded stronghold gen)
  • I will not support multi-threaded world gen such as C2ME. Perhaps sometime in the future as a separate branch.

Contributions are welcome. This mod is licensed under the GPL-3.0, meaning any forks/derivative works must also be open source and licensed under the GPL-3.0. If you fork the mod and publish the distribution (without the intention of merging your changes upstream) please change the name from Noverworld to a suitably distinct alternative to avoid confusion.
