Altar Location Tweaks

Bosses - Where You Want Them!

This is a very small mod that allows you to change where the boss altars spawn in the world (for vanilla boss altars only)

Why use this mod over the Expand World mods?

If you are ONLY looking to tweak the location of boss altars and don't need any of the other functionality provided by Expand World, this mod is for you.

What can be changed?

You can change the following properties:

  • The number of altars that can spawn in the world
  • The minimum and maximum distance from the center of the world to spawn the altars
  • The minimum distance between boss altars. Other properties such as terrain deltas and heights are NOT adjustable with this mod. If you need finer control, install Expand World instead.

Example Use Cases

  • You could set the Eikthyr altar to spawn between 2000 and 3000 metres away from spawn, making it almost guaranteed you will have to sail to him.
  • You could set The Elder's altar to spawn over 4000 metres away from spawn, encouraging much more exploration and potentially making the journey to him more dangerous.
  • You could ensure Moder doesn't spawn on mountain biomes that are over 8000 metres away.
  • You could reduce Yagluth's altar amount to 2, making it even harder to find.

Common Problems

My boss altar no longer spawns!

This is usually caused by the minimum and maximum distances being set incorrectly. Example: You set Eikthyr's altar to spawn between 5000 and 6000 metres from world spawn. This is a problem because the meadows biome can only spawn between 0 and 3000 metres, and Eikthyr's altar has to spawn in the meadows, leading to no valid locations to spawn his altar. Example: You set Fader to spawn between 0 and 2000 metres away from world spawn. Since Ashlands only generates around 9000m or so on the south side of the world, it has no valid spawn location.

I can't change modded boss altars!

This mod only allows for vanilla boss alterations. Most mods that add bosses and altars will usually offer a config file for changing locations, so check there first of all. If you REALLY need modded altar tweaks and don't want to use Expand World, see below for how to contact me - but I STRONGLY suggest using Expand World if you're adding lots of new locations to your map as the control you have with that mod is very convenient.
