Hi,
In previous versions, it was possible to make a random_patch with a rectangular shape. This was critical to many features of numerous world generation datapacks as it was one of the only existing ways to generate blocks in an area with an offset that is somewhat configurable.
In 21w39a this feature was removed, most likely by accident. While this functionality was primitive, the inability to generate 'asymmetrical' regions is very detrimental to world generation. An offset decorator or just restoring the old functionality would be great.
Example from patch_red_mushroom, 21w38a:
{
"config": {
"can_replace": false,
"project": false,
"need_water": false,
"xspread": 7,
"yspread": 3,
"zspread": 7,
"whitelist": [],
"blacklist": [],
"tries": 64,
"state_provider": {
"state": {
"Name": "minecraft:red_mushroom"
},
"type": "minecraft:simple_state_provider"
},
"block_placer": {
"type": "minecraft:simple_block_placer"
}
},
"type": "minecraft:random_patch"
}
And in 21w39a:
{
"config": {
"allowed_on": [],
"disallowed_on": [],
"only_in_air": false,
"feature": {
"config": {
"feature": {
"config": {
"to_place": {
"state": {
"Name": "minecraft:red_mushroom"
},
"type": "minecraft:simple_state_provider"
}
},
"type": "minecraft:simple_block"
},
"decorator": {
"config": {
"predicate": {
"blocks": [
"minecraft:air"
],
"offset": [
0,
0,
0
],
"type": "minecraft:matching_blocks"
}
},
"type": "minecraft:block_filter"
}
},
"type": "minecraft:decorated"
},
"tries": 96,
"xz_spread": 7,
"y_spread": 3
},
"type": "minecraft:random_patch"
}
There is only xz_spread now, which is probably not intended because it significantly reduces the functionality of the feature at no benefit to the game.
