Overview
The traversable world, nature, sunlight, rain, nature and life.
Explanation
The Surface Level is defined as the highest blocks that will be affected by rain or sunlight.
Height Values
Height varies depending on the distance between the Mantle and the Surface. When talking about generation and mechanics, the game will calculate its values using the following criteria:
- The Surface will have a height of 1 or 100%.
- The Mantle will have a height of 0 or 0%.
The calculations won't be based on coordinates or blocks, but in the value regarding the percentage defined by the previous Height Values.
- Example: If you are in a hill that has an y of 150, and you are looking for height 0.6 or 60%; you will need to look at y90.
Resources
Ores
- See Metals for detailed information.
Some ores just as Lead, Copper, Coal, Borax or Quartz can be spotted as bits in the surface. This indicates that a deposite of said material is located below.
Hills may expose ore deposites due to the nature of ore generation.
Ore Generation
- See Ore Deposits for detailed information.
Ore Generation will follow the Height Values mechanic. The specific values for the every ore can be seen in their own tables.
- Example: Lignite (Brown Coal) is generated between the height values 0.48 and 0.92, this mean that, if the distance between the Mantle and the Surface is 100 blocks, Lignite (Brown Coal) will be generated between y48 and y92 (based on coordinates).
Foraging
Animals
In order to survive, animals need light. Any that ventures into a cave will die after a while if no light is present.
Farming
- See Farming for detailed information.
Unless defined on World Configuration, plants can't grow underground.
