# Water World Mod

## Introduction

I want to create a world of oceans and islands if I can reduce bridge crossings. so I tried to replicate this doing what desert region mod did but only to make oceans a thing

## This is the idea to make islands and oceans

Any updates on the ocean hardwood floor thing? I kinda like the idea that Earth’s oceans got swapped with a version where sentient sponges just renovated the entire ecosystem into tasteful patterns of organically grown wood.

i have run into issues, I have extra json for shores and underground ocean, I just don’t know how to make them spawn, as far as I can tell it’s just one tile deep. also allowing cities to spawn is going to be a pain because they need `"t_region_groundcover": { "t_grass": 12, "t_grass_dead": 2, "t_dirt": 1 },` and I replace this with `"t_region_groundcover": { "t_ocean_dp": 12, "t_ocean_sh": 2 },` wondering if I add `"t_grass": 12, "t_grass_dead": 2, "t_dirt": 1` to the above might allow cities to spawn ill test it later

Honestly, a vanilla style water world would be just fine for the moment. Test it out with extra terrains as you feel like it, but having a consistent watery mapgen just by itself is cool.
