I love chance cubes. But they give the player choice over opening them. It would be great to have an option to spawn them hidden (suggestion 1 under the ground but any method really) and have them auto activate as a player approaches (say 8 blocks on x and z)

The whole point of the mod is to only open them if you want. I don't want to force people to open them.

Not even as a config for a hard pack?

My personal opinion about this request, and keep in mind I've created one of the more difficult packs available, Is that chance cubes automatically opening when you're in range may seem like a good idea but in practice will frustrate players. It will make halt them from doing any exploring and may lower your total played hours in a pack.

The idea of chance cubes is that the player has a choice. Some players refuse to open them because of their play style, and a removing that choice will turn those players away from the pack.
