New World Type Generation

[MrAmericanMike]

Hello Lexmanos. Sorry if "Issues" isn't the place to ask (I know it's not) but I dont think it's a "Pull request" neither.

Well, here my idea to add to the Mod. It's more like something I need for a ModPack I want to do, but I thought the idea fits perfectly as a new feature for your Mod.

Is it possible to have a World Type "Single Chunk". The idea would be that the World generates only 1 Chunk and nothing else. With additional options of "Been able to build outside the chunk or Not been able to place blocks outside the chunk"

Well, hope you like the idea ;)

Thanks for your time.

THats what this mod already does.. generates a single start platform {can be whatever you program it to be}
As for being able to build outside the chunk.. I don't really see a reason for this.This is a SkyBlock mod, not a pocket dimension mod. It's designed to be simple yet you can build w/e you want.

[MrAmericanMike]

Sorry, I might explained it wrong. (Or I have not clue on how to program it to be what I want)

Something like this http://static.planetminecraft.com/files/resource_media/screenshot/1244/2012-10-29_162427_3610042.jpg

Real 16x16 "slice" of the seed/random Minecraft generation. The idea is to generate a map with other mods in where you can only live and do everything within 1 chunk. (Been or not able to expand is something I'm not sure yet) But what I dont want is to use a World save as the image I posted, but I would like some Mod that can generate the real chunk, and only 1 chunk.
Thanks once again for your time, I'm gonna take a look about programming your mod to Custom Generate whatever someone needs ;)

[LexManos]

The problem with that is that the way population works is you need the surrounding chunks in order to have things like trees grow.
Someone could do this, but I don't particularly see a good use case, 99.99999% of the time, the chunk you generate will not be good enough to play all o the mods you want to play unless you specifically go in and generate all there ores and the like.

[MrAmericanMike]

Yes that's true, well I'm planning on using "Ex-Nihilo" like in an SkyFactory pack for the ores and all that. The Challenge here would be to survive and see how far people can get inside only 1 chunk. Of course it's just an idea right now, I require more testing, but also I'm aware of some problems like, how to get snow, how to make passive mobs spawn and things like that.
Thanks LexManos for the time to answer, really appreciate ;) Keep the good work.

you could try using a mod that sets a world-border. or use something along the lines of pneumaticcraft or MFFS. to build areas around the chunk that can't be interacted with (can't break blocks).

i also seem to recall one or two mods that have invisible barrier blocks. this, along with lockdown mod can accomplish what you're thinking of, but it'd be strictly single player.
