SkyGrid
by Ghost
SkyGrid is a world generation mod in which a grid of chunks in the overworld is filled with blocks chosen from vanilla rather than at random.
What it does
Its generator places one block type per grid cell according to a fixed pattern, so the sky islands and terrain it creates repeat in an ordered layout instead of appearing at random. The author notes that the blocks come from vanilla content, and the generator follows a non-random pattern for each cell. Grid spacing and the pattern used can be adjusted in the mod's configuration, and the generator is tuned to handle large areas without a heavy slowdown.
The mod is a server mod. The server must run SkyGrid and the Fabric API, which is required on both loaders. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional and only add configuration screens for the grid settings. Files cover Fabric and Quilt for 1.21.11 only, with version 1.0.0 released on 2026-02-10. The code is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, and the mod is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Configurable grid spacing
The distance between grid cells and the pattern used to place them can be set in the configuration.
Non-random vanilla blocks
Each grid cell uses a vanilla block chosen by a fixed rule, so the layout is predictable from one world to the next.
Large-area generation
The generator is optimized to produce large regions without a heavy performance cost.
