Sable Encounters
by Bommelnator
Sable Encounters, a NeoForge world generation mod for 1.21.1, adds encounters that spawn sable sublevels with structures and entities as players explore.
What it does
Encounters appear as sable sublevels, which spawn with their own entities and structures. Some encounters place invisible entities when they spawn, and a set of sable schematics can be pasted into the world at once. Encounters can also begin during a raid, where a block with a boss bar tracks progress until it drops. Each encounter is defined by a JSON file with spawn conditions, and a reputation system changes which encounters spawn for a player.
Encounter packs supply the content through blueprint JSON files, and modpack authors can add their own encounter JSON files in a mod folder. The mod ships with its settings already configured, so a new world gives a working setup. Client and server both run it, and the server and every player need the mod installed. Sable and Sable Photomancy are required, and Create Aeronautics is optional. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1, and the latest build, 1.9.9, is in the beta channel. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is not open source.
Key features
Sublevel encounters
Sable sublevels spawn with their own structures and entities as players explore the world.
Invisible entity spawns
Some encounters place invisible entities at the moment they spawn, which keeps the scene quiet until players reach it.
Raid-triggered sublevels
Sublevels can spawn during a raid, with a boss bar that counts down as the encounter progresses.
Reputation-based spawns
A reputation system changes which encounters appear for each player, so the same world can differ between players.
