If you guys are worried about not having villages in the cave worlds, I can spawn in testificates and we can build up a village ourselves.

So, what should the main design of the spawn village be?

Looking at Better World Generation 3 atm

Now that is something I support.

Well damn, it says Better World Generation 3 is also not compatible with forge.

[MagmaMcFry]

Aww.

[Ultimuh]

This is not going well for us, is it?

[forsaken1111]

Wait, I may be wrong. o.o

Success! That is a cave world with thaumcraft ores showing up.

How much can you explore before it falls apart? And also, what would we do about the whole no sunlight thing?

How about we start with this, then work our way up to this, this and this?

What's the problem with no sunlight?

And what do you mean about falling apart?

[forsaken1111]

Its quite stable actually. Has a bedrock roof and bottom, and looks like an endless series of caves with varied biomes.

Would it be OK if I was to travel a couple hundred blocks out and establish an NPC settlement after a while?

Maybe connect them via tunnels... or roads... Or something...

Won't the NPCs not breed, though? I can remember reading something about them not acting correctly if underground...

I think the housing mechanics required a door with a clear line to the sky on one side. might be wong but i seem to recall something like that from minecraft wiki

Yep you are correct.

Villagers will mate depending on the number of valid doors. A valid door is any door (within the city radius) where the number of "outside" spaces within 5 blocks (in a straight line) on one side of the door is not the same as the number of "outside" spaces within 5 blocks on the other side of the door. A space is considered to be "outside" if it is hit by the sun during the day, i.e. it is transparent, and has nothing but transparent blocks above it all the way to the sky. Notice that a door is not a valid door without a roof on one side, or with equal amount of roof on both sides. Sometimes the villager AI (such as mating and housing) doesn't behave as expected until the game is restarted (as in save and quit, then reload the world).

Okay well I've proven through testing that the cave world option works.

What would you guys think about this as an alternative?

With two mystcraft mining/exploration ages but most building taking place on the island. Can move testificates back to the island from the ages via portals and establish a village.

[Ultimuh]

Well I don't mind playing without NPCs.

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

If we split the playing world between these flying islands and the underground, I would consider that a very agreeable compromise.

Shouldn't be difficult to make a mystcraft cave world linked to from the island. would that satisfy you?

Though I do wonder if you can just drop a normal world into a mystcraft age folder...

-sky world-

That looks awesome. Can't wait to play.
