Chest generator

Русское README доступно по ссылке https://github.com/Prikalel/Chest-Generator/blob/1.12/README_ru.md.

Simple minecraft mod for spawning chests in your world with items you defined in JSON files.

Original repo is by KidsDontPlay.

It's quite simple. Fill a chest with desired items and right click it while you are sneaking and in creative mode.

A file will be created in your config folder.

List of changes

Fixed bug when not creating files on windows.
Port to 1.12
Better spawn algorithm (remove infinitive loop). Make chests to spawn more fat from each other. The world generating is now a little faster.
More logging and configurations.
Use of KD-trees (see this repo for source code): now you can set the minimal allowed distance between chests.

How to use?

Create new empty minecraft world with creative mod. Place a chest and fill it with items you want it to have.

Right-click on the chest while sneaking and in your config folder (specially in location config/Chest Generator) the json file will be created.

These files are used to determine which chests to spawn and where.
