Feature: Select Slices for weirdness

[Treetrain1]

In Minecraft's overworld world generation, it has multiple slices with multiple weirdnesses, however there is no way to add all the weirdnesses for specific slices without creating many near identical files.

It would be nice to have a way to select slices rather than having a weirdness range.
Perhaps something like this.

"injection": {
    // other stuff
    "slices": [
        "valley",
        "low",
        "mid",
        "high",
        "peak"
    ]
}

Example from decompiled MC Source with Mojang's Mappings:

I'll look at a solution to make that a bit nicer to do, but it won't look like you're suggesting - a single injection can only inject in one place. Some system to make groups of similar injections like that should be possible though

Maybe a solution could be having lists for each parameter and then the mod would make an injection for each possible outcome in the list.

Hmm, that's a possibility, though I'm not the biggest fan - that really wouldn't play nice with the injections-as-registries setup I currently take (which has a number of its own benefits). That said, I'll definitely consider it.

That said, if you're looking for a temporary solution at present - you could datagen your injections, which would make this a lot easier. This is my preferred solution, honestly, though I'll of course look into other solutions for those not using datagen as well.

is there already a provider to use for datagen?

[lukebemish]

It's a datapack registry. So, FabricDynamicRegistryProvider or DatapackBuiltinEntriesProvider depending on the platform should Just Work

alright i found a solution
thank you for the suggestion

[lukebemish]

Glad it works! I'll keep thinking of a JSON only solution to this so I'll leave this open
