Config Pillars

[pillars]: common

Stone karst towers, like the ones in Ha Long Bay, rise from bedrock to around the murk's high-water mark in scattered groups. This is worldgen, so changes only affect chunks generated afterwards.

Option	Default	Description
generatePillars	true	Generate towers at all.

[pillars.layout]

Option	Default	Range	Description
pillarGroupSpacing	1250	64 – 60000	Average distance between groups. How often you find one scales with the square of this, so doubling it makes groups 4× rarer. Keep it well above pillarRidgeLengthMax.
pillarSpawnGroup	true		Always place one group within about 100 blocks of world spawn.
pillarRidgeChance	0.33	0 – 1	Share of groups that form a ridge (a wall of towers in a line) instead of a cluster of isles.
pillarRidgeLengthMin	400	32 – 20000	Shortest ridge, in blocks.
pillarRidgeLengthMax	1000	32 – 20000	Longest ridge, in blocks. Raised to the minimum if set below it.
pillarIsleRadius	80	16 – 2000	How far a cluster spreads from its centre.
pillarDensity	0.45	0 – 1	How tightly a cluster is packed. Ridges ignore this.

[pillars.shape]

Option	Default	Range	Description
pillarBlock	"stone"		Block id the towers are built from. Falls back to stone if the id is invalid.
pillarRadiusMin	3.0	1 – 24	Thinnest tower radius.
pillarRadiusMax	14.0	1 – 24	Thickest tower radius.
pillarTopMin	-5	-128 – 128	Lowest tower top, relative to the high-water mark. Negative is below it.
pillarTopMax	20	0 – 128	Highest tower top above the high-water mark.
pillarTilt	5.0	0 – 20	Maximum lean, in degrees.
pillarLedges	4	0 – 12	Maximum number of flat shelves on a tower's flanks.

[pillars.surface]

Option	Default	Range	Description
pillarStoneBands	true		Bands the towers with layers of granite, diorite, andesite, tuff and deepslate. Only applies when pillarBlock is stone. Ores generate as normal either way.
pillarBaseErosion	6	0 – 16	How far the scree skirt spreads at the base. 0 leaves a hard seam.
pillarClimate	true		Dresses towers for their biome: snow and icicles where it's cold, vines and jungle bushes where it's warm and wet. Deserts stay bare.
pillarGreenery	true		Grass and foliage on tower tops and shelves.
pillarGreeneryDepth	24	0 – 384	How far below the high-water mark greenery still grows.
