Metadata World Gen

by poopiedoopie9002

Metadata World Gen is a ModLoader addon for Minecraft Beta b1.7.3 that lets world generation place blocks carrying a chosen metadata value, such as wool colors.

ModLoaderClient and serverMIT Licenseb1.7.3

What it does

The mod is a single file that adds a WorldGenMinableMetadata class, a variant of the vanilla WorldGenMinable generator. Where the original generator places one block type, this version passes block metadata through, so generated blocks keep the chosen variant. The author gives wool colored by metadata as the example of the result.

The mod is built for Minecraft Beta b1.7.3 and requires ModLoader, with the ModloaderMP Unofficial v2 mod also needed for the example code. Because the mod is published only for that single game version, it suits players and developers who work on b1.7.3 worlds, either as a finished addition or as source to study and compile. The author notes that the code can be compiled by anyone who wants to adapt it.

Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source, so use the files as the author distributed them.

Key features

  1. Metadata-aware generation

    World generation places blocks with a chosen metadata value, not only the default variant of a block.

  2. Drop-in generator class

    WorldGenMinableMetadata follows the same structure as the WorldGenMinable class, so it can replace it where that class is used.

  3. Colored wool example

    The author includes code that generates wool with a metadata color, showing how the generator is called.

  4. Example mod included

    A small example mod named WorldGenMetadataExample shows how to register the generator within ModLoader.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.

Use cases

Colored ore veins

Developers can use the metadata generator to place variant blocks in veins instead of a single default block type.

Studying a Beta generator

Modders learning how the WorldGenMinable class works can read this change as a short, self-contained example.

Who it’s for: The mod suits Beta b1.7.3 modders and players who build worlds with ModLoader. Developers who want to adapt the generator can compile it themselves.

What the author says

Though this mod adds a class I've named 'WorldGenMinableMetadata' which is basically the same as the 'WorldGenMinable' class expect it allows for block metadata to pass through and in turn generate in the world. I have added two different versions of both client and server in the downloads section. The versions that…
