Road Architect: Goosker's Patch
by Goosker
Road Architect: Goosker's Patch is a Fabric patch for the Road Architect world generation mod, changing how its roads are placed in 1.20.1 worlds.
What it does
The patch targets three problems in the original mod. Roads generate with a more natural, winding path instead of occasional long straight runs. Path generation is reworked so roads spawn after a chunk loads in most cases, which reduces CPU stalls that can freeze entities and stall chunks, especially when running alongside LOD mods such as Distant Horizons. It also prevents deleting structures, by ranking structure generation ahead of pathway generation.
Asynchronous pathfinding that could run across ticks is almost entirely avoided. The patch also adds road pathway generation compatibility with Terralith structure mods and is part of the Goosker's Medieval Modpack. It is completely compatible with the original mod's config file, and the two mods can be used interchangeably. Fabric is the only loader with files. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Natural road curves
Roads take a weaving route with bends, replacing the straight stretches the original generation sometimes produced.
Chunk-aware road spawning
Pathways are placed after a chunk loads in most cases, which lowers CPU load during world generation.
Structure priority
Structure generation runs before pathway generation, so roads do not delete structures they cross.
Terralith compatibility
Road pathway generation works alongside Terralith structure mods, including in Goosker's Medieval Modpack.

What the author says
This mod is completely compatible with the config file that the original mod generates, and works seemlessly with Road Architect: Encounters, so this can be used interchangably with the original mod.
