We've added a couple of methods here that I'll explain first. The ShouldPlaceChest method simply generates a random number between 0 and 100. If the number is between 0 and our CHEST_SPAWN_PROBABILITY multiplied by 100 then it returns true. This is called before we do our loop to see whether we should proceed in placing our chest. We will fill in the details of TryGetChestLocation in the next section so just leave it for now. The loop goes through each x, z then y coordinate and converts the coordinates to world coordinates by multiplying the chunkX coordinate by the chunkSize and adding our x coordinate in the loop. The same goes for Z. This is very important! Our IBlockAccessor expects world coordinates. World coordinates start at the beginning of the world whereas chunk coordinates start at the beginning of the chunk. Always keep your coordinate system in mind. Another thing to note here is that BlockPos is created outside our loop and reused to cut down on object creation. You don't want to create a ton of objects and cause garbage collection because this will negatively impact performance. Try to create as few objects as you can in code that will be executed frequently. The meat of the code calls our TryGetChestLocation to get a BlockPos. If the method returns null that means the current x,y,z is not a suitable location. However if it is then it moves on to our PlaceTreasureChest and increments the chestsPlaced counter which is used to check and make sure we aren't placing more chests in the chunk than MAX_CHESTS_PER_CHUNK. | |||
Our loop and main logic is finished. Now it's time to implement TryGetChestLocation to detect trees. | |||
