Feature Request for Twigs Mod: Configurable Item Generation
Introduction
I'm a big fan of the Twigs mod. It adds significant realism and detail to Minecraft environments. However, I have a feature suggestion that I believe could greatly enhance user customization and compatibility with other mods.
The Issue
Currently, all features of the Twigs mod generate by default. This can sometimes lead to conflicts with other mods or may not fit every player's world vision.
Example with MineColonies:
In my setup, I'm using Twigs alongside the MineColonies mod. MineColonies settlers, who perform various tasks, don't recognize 'twig' items as usable. They can't use twigs in crafting or as fuel, leading to cluttered storage and disrupting potential automation. This requires frequent manual intervention to clear, which can be cumbersome.
Proposed Solution
A configuration file or an in-game menu for feature management would be a valuable addition. It would allow players and modpack creators to selectively enable or disable the generation of specific items or blocks that are naturally generated by Twigs.
Benefits
- Improved User Experience: Players gain control over their world generation, allowing them to tailor it to their preferences.
- Enhanced Mod Compatibility: Facilitates troubleshooting and resolving conflicts between Twigs and other mods, essential for modpack creators.
- Flexibility: Accommodates different playstyles and modpack themes, improving the game's adaptability and enjoyment.
Modpack Maker Perspective
As a modpack maker, this feature would be invaluable. Currently, if there's a compatibility issue with an item from Twigs and another mod, I'm forced to choose which mod to keep. This binary choice is a drastic measure that could be avoided by providing more granularity in feature management. At present, I've had to remove Twigs from my modpack with MineColonies, but I'd eagerly reintroduce it if these issues are addressed.
Conclusion
Thank you for considering this feature request. Implementing this feature would not only rectify current issues but also unlock new possibilities for enjoyment and user personalization within the Twigs mod.
