Supply Caches

Supply Caches are small surface structures added by Explorify. Each one is a short wooden or stone enclosure built around a single chest. They are placed across most of the Overworld's forest, taiga, jungle, desert and swamp biomes, and each chest holds food, torches, iron ingots, wool and leather.

Generation

Supply Caches generate in the Overworld as the Supply Caches structure set. The set holds seven variants, one per biome family, and each variant has an equal 1 in 7 share of the set. Each variant has its own biome tag, so the variant that appears depends on the biome. The set's in-game spacing is 92 chunks, with a separation of 57 chunks and a frequency of 0.75. The mod's default spacing is about 32 chunks. The pack's sparse-structure setting scales the spacing by a factor of 2.88, which makes caches much rarer than the mod's default. In a 26 km² test sample, one cache was found, a dark variant, so a player should expect to search a wide area.

The variants are placed in these biome families:

• Birch: birch and silver birch forests, autumnal maple forests, mystic groves, rocky shrublands and Lavender Valley.
• Dark: Dark Forest and a range of temperate highlands, grasslands, shrublands, sakura groves and moors.
• Desert: deserts, savannas, drylands, desert canyons and desert spires.
• Forest: forests, maple forests, redwood forests, orchards, flower forests and blooming valleys and plateaus.
• Jungle: jungles, rainforests and jungle mountains.
• Mangrove: Mangrove Swamp, bayous and floodplains.
• Taiga: taigas and their snowy, frozen, old-growth and dead variants, about 40 biomes in all.

The structure table at the end of this page lists the full biome set for each variant.

Supply Caches are jigsaw structures placed in the surface stage of generation. The start is projected onto the world surface heightmap, and the terrain is adapted with a thin beard, so each enclosure sits on the ground.

Supply Caches are not part of the horror structures that the pack weights more heavily. The pack's horror biome weighting, which includes Dark Forest, Sleepy Hollows and bayous, does not apply to caches.

Layout

Each variant is a single template with a chest. The enclosure is built from the wood or stone of its biome:

• Birch: stripped birch logs, birch fences, slabs and trapdoors, with cobblestone.
• Dark: stripped dark oak logs, dark oak fences, slabs and trapdoors, with cobblestone.
• Desert: sandstone, sandstone slabs and walls, and a jungle trapdoor.
• Forest: stripped oak logs, oak fences, slabs and trapdoors, with cobblestone.
• Jungle: stripped jungle logs, jungle fences, slabs and trapdoors, with cobblestone.
• Mangrove: stripped mangrove logs, mangrove fences, slabs and trapdoors, and a spruce trapdoor, with cobblestone.
• Taiga: stripped spruce logs, spruce fences, slabs and trapdoors, with cobblestone.

Each template goes through the vanilla mossify_20_percent processor, which converts about one in five cobblestone blocks into mossy cobblestone. Older caches therefore look more weathered than new ones.

Inhabitants

Supply Caches have no mobs, spawners or bosses. The templates contain only the blocks listed above and the chest. Mobs that spawn naturally in the surrounding biome can still come near a cache, and in horror biomes such as Dark Forest the night monsters of the pack are part of that.

Loot

The chest loot comes from one loot table, shared by all seven variants. Its first pool rolls the vanilla village tannery loot table once. Its second pool rolls three to seven times on a short list of torches, bread, cooked salmon, iron ingots and white wool. Each entry gives between one and five items. The full loot table, with the chance of each item, is in the structure table below.

Tips

Look for a small enclosure with a chest on the surface in any of the biome families above. The desert variant is built from sandstone, so it stands out against the sand of its biome.

Iron ingots and the leather items are the most useful finds in the chest for early crafting, and the torches help with lighting a base or a night trip.
