Fractal Layer

A fractal layer is a part of a fractal layer pipeline that can generate inputs for various coordinates and can even incorporate parent layers to form a layer stack. Layers can do various things like generating random biomes, scaling up biomes and replacing certain biomes with biomes generated from other layers. All biomes in layers are extended biome IDs. Any fields stated as "inputs" are strings that refer to IDs of layers earlier in the pipeline.

Mandatory Properties

• type
  • Type: string
  • Default: required
  • Description: What kind of layer is used.
• id
  • Type: string
  • Default: required
  • Description: The identifier of the layer. IDs are used to refer to layers in other layers, mostly for parenting.
• seed
  • Type: long
  • Default: 0
  • Description: An offset to the world seed applied to the layer. Some layers may not use the seed but it is important to provide a unique seed for layers that utilise random number generation.
