Create Diesel Generators [Sky Islands]

by IsuckAtEverything

Create Diesel Generators [Sky Islands] is a NeoForge add-on that makes the Create Diesel Generators pumpjacks function on floating sky island maps.

NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

In a normal world, a Create Diesel Generators pumpjack checks for oil by scanning its pipe column downward until it reaches a block with the oil tag, and the bedrock pipe reaching Y 64 counts for this. In sky island worlds there is no bedrock beneath the islands, so that check never passes and the pumpjack never becomes valid, even though the chunk still generates oil through Perlin noise. This mod changes the placement so the bottom pipe column can sit on a deposit block instead of bedrock, and the pumpjack then passes the depth check and pumps as it does in a normal world.

A craftable Sky Oil Deposit block is added for this purpose and is included in the oil deposit tag of Create Diesel Generators. The mod does not change how much oil a chunk holds: amounts still come from the normal chunk-based noise, and the deposit only satisfies the depth check.

The mod depends on Create and Create: Diesel Generators, which must both be installed. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is published for NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and is released under All rights reserved, with public links to the source code.

Key features

  1. Sky Oil Deposit block

    A craftable block that counts as an oil deposit, so a pumpjack can be placed on an island with no bedrock.

  2. Pumpjack placement on islands

    The bottom pipe column can rest on the deposit, letting the pumpjack pass the depth check on floating land.

  3. Unchanged oil output

    Oil amounts still come from the normal chunk-based noise, so the mod only changes where a pumpjack may stand.

  4. Sky Archipelago support

    Built for the Sky Archipelago world type, with the recipe costing 4 Eyes of Ender, 4 Brass Casings and 1 Fluid Tank.

A small compatibility mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 that lets Create Diesel Generators pumpjacks work in sky island worlds (e.g. Sky Archipelago + Aeronautics).
