Biomes spawning without grass
s0uthw3st opened this issue ยท 7 comments
Similar to closed issue #196 - biomes that would normally have grass spawn with plain dirt.
- Some blocks of grass do occasionally spawn (seen with Oasis and Extreme Hills biomes, near spawned lakes) as part of generated surface features
- Grass does not spread onto dirt spawned in these dimensions (tested by both waiting for natural spread and forcing spreading via Extra Utilities watering can) unless the dirt is broken and replaced
- Dirt in these dimensions is normal dirt (id 3) as confirmed by silk-touch
- Appears to affect 'surface' dirt only - dirt patches generated as part of the stone layers seem to be unaffected
Tested with Terrain Island dimlet with Single Biome (modded) Oasis, Shield, and (vanilla) Extreme Hills biomes.

I can confirm this for the Flower Forest biome. It seems like you got an "off by one" error in your island generation code (normal, amplified, etc works great). It's always the topmost layer of the biome missing.
Confirmed in 4.23, last version available for 1.7. (Plains, Tundra). It appears to be height-dependent. Some "taller" biomes have grass spawn on top.
In addition, dirt appears despite not using "material default" and picking something else.
It seems to only happen with the "Chaotic" terrain, could it possibly be coded to overlay all land mass with grass? Or possibly create a terrain dimlet that is void islands? That's what I've been trying to create, but the no grass isn't pleasing. I also keep getting intense fog that I can't figure out.
