    },

Style/Generator Explained:

Style/Generator is the 4-D (that's one more D than 3D) rules that draw the carve layer. Static is a commonly used style, with any multiplier, or zoom- it is easy noise. IRIS, is our home-brewed Style that we use in places all over the Overworld

Deposits Explained:

Deposits are the ores, or clumps of stuff that is spawned in the ground. like Dirt patches, or Ores. This is a great way to set ores, This also supports custom blocks- Using the palette you can have whatever spawn, from custom blocks to doors can be deposits. This can be set in the Dimension, Region, and Biome.

Palette Explained:

The palette is the set of blocks that are included in the parent function's list of parameters. you can have as many as you want as long as everything is properly labeled.

Backup

Block

Data

In the event that the block cant be placed in this version of MC, the backup is a palette of alternatives.

This can have as many blocks as you want

Extra block data, like Waterlogged, or Count etc

Debug

Key

Weight

This prints to the console whenever this block is placed, or whenever the palette rolls.

This is the resource key- leave blank unless you are using a pack

The number of this block in a hypothetical random list. more = better chance

Fluid Breakdown

        "fluidHeight": 0,
        "fluidType": {},
        "inverseHeight": false
    },

Fluid Explained:

Fluid layers are a simple way to set a sort of water-layer or anything-layer in the parent. upi can put blocks here, but its built for fluids.

Fluid-Height

Fluid Type

Inverse Height

The layer and below that in the parent that this block will propagate

This is a palette layout. To learn how to use a palette go here

Inverts the Fluid-Height, if its 15, and this is inverted so its everything above 15.

            }]
        }

Objects Explained:

Objects have loads of edits, and things you can do with them. (Psycho caused this) but this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest set of information and toggles that you can do.

Boar Extend MaxY

Boar Extend MinY

Bore

Bottom

Assuming Bore is enabled, this will expand the bore Height Cuboid range by [num]

Assuming Bore is enabled, this will expand the bore Width Cuboid range by [num]

A bool as to if on placement of an object, will it erase everything in a cube around this object

If set to true, this object will place from the ground up instead of height checks when not y locked to the surface. This is not compatible with X and Z axis rotations (it may look off)

Carving Support

Chance

Clamp

Density

This object can place ANYWHERE, CARVING_ONLY or SURFACE_ONLY, all of the objects interact with carving how you would expect.

The chance for this to place in a chunk. If you need multiple per chunk, set this to 1 and use density.

Limit the Max height or min height of a placement of an object

If the check passes. this number of an object will place in a chunk

Edit

Meld

Mode

On-Water

This is the module where you find and replace blocks in the objects.

If set to true, this object will only place parts of itself where blocks already exist. Warning: Melding is very performance intensive!

This is the mode pf placement. See placement modes here.

A boolean that determines if it places on water.

Over Stilt

Place

Rotation

Smart Bore

When the place mode is set to STILT, this will stilt 1-3 blocks into the ground additionally

This is just a list of objects to place

If this object will receive a random rotation degree, if so, what degree

If set to true, Iris will try to fill the insides of 'rooms' and 'pockets' where air should fit based off of Ray-Tracing (Yea We have RTX on) checks. This prevents a village house placing in an area where a tree already exists, and instead replaces the parts of the tree where the interior of the structure is.

Snow

Translate

Translate Center

Underwater

This is percentage (0-1) of the amount of a snow filter that puts a snow stacks on a block

On an X, Y, and Z Coordinate plane, this moves an object on placement

If the place mode is set to CENTER_HEIGHT_RIGID and you have an X/Z translation, Turning on translate center will also translate the center height check.

If set to true, objects will place on the terrain height, ignoring the water surface.

Warp

WaterLoggable

This is an interesting one, you will need to use a generator to warp the field of coordinates. Using simplex for example would make a square placement warp like a flag

If set to true, Blocks placed underwater that could be waterlogged are waterlogged

Text

Place text all over the terrain, literally. Text can actually be printed all over the ground, see this image it's able to print with specific fonts as well, see all the info below

Chance

Clamp

Density

Mode

Water-Loggable

Chance to place this text per chunk

The clamp Height for this text if any.

The amount of times to print this, if the chance pass, per chunk.

See Mode in SubParameters

Boolean as to if the text should be waterlogged

On Water

Render

Rotation

translate

Underwater

Can it place on water regions or not. ie: if an area is labeled as ocean, even on an edge it cant place here if toggled off

This is the style of text printed, See render

If this object will receive a random rotation degree, if so, what degree

On an X, Y, and Z Coordinate plane, this moves an object on placement

Boolean to see if this ever places underwater.

Rarity

The rarity of this biome (integer) Generally speaking the higher the number is, the more common it is, but if you have only a few biomes try to keep the results as you would want, try and keep it under 256 (you can go higher), but higher would make the biome almost invisible in a general schema of 100 biomes, as every biome (and region) is a roll at random EACH usage so if its 1-in-10, there will NOT guarantee a biome every 10, as its a random roll.

Effects *

Effects that play in this biome. Effects are ambient effects such as potion effects, random sounds, or even particles around each player. All of these effects are played via packets so two players won't see/hear each others effects. Due to performance reasons, effects will play aground the player even if where the effect was played is no longer in the biome the player is in.
