Covers
Asset path: Server/WorldGen/Covers/*.json
Parent
When set this asset will inherit properties from the named asset.
When inheriting from another CoverAsset most properties will simply be copied from the parent asset to this asset. In the case where both child and parent provide a field the child field will simply replace the value provided by the parent, in the case of nested structures this will apply to the fields within the structure. In some cases the field may decide to act differently, for example: by merging the parent and child fields together.
Type information: String
Tags
Tags are a general way to describe an asset that can be interpreted by other systems in a way they see fit.
For example you could tag something with a Material tag with the values Solid and Stone, And another single tag Ore.
Tags will be expanded into a single list of tags automatically. Using the above example with Material and Ore the end result would be the following list of tags: Ore, Material, Solid, Stone, Material=Solid and Material=Stone.
Type information:
(Nullable) Map of the following:
| Key | Type |
|---|---|
any String | Array of String |
Biomes
The inherited biome placements. An explicit array replaces all inherited memberships. Repeated parents declare separate occurrences.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SeedIndex | Integer | The nonnegative legacy seed index. It is honored only when ConvertedPin is true. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Blocks | (Nullable) Array of the type:
CoverBlockValue
| The weighted blocks or fluids placed by this cover. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NoiseMask | (Nullable)
NoiseConditionValue
| The optional noise condition for cover placement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HeightThreshold | (Nullable) Either
BasicHeightThresholdValue
NoiseHeightThresholdValue
| The optional world-height condition for cover placement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Parent | (Nullable) Either String or BlockMask | The optional Blocks mask key or inline asset that selects substrate blocks and fluids below this cover. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Density | Number defaults to: 1.0 | The probability of placing this cover at an eligible coordinate. The default is 1. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OnWater | Boolean defaults to: false | Whether this cover anchors to water surfaces. The default is false. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Biome | (Nullable) String that matches the pattern: [^\s] and is at least 1 characters long defaults to: | The required exact WorldGenBiomeAsset key for this placement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Order | Integer | The nonnegative converter position within this parent. It is honored only when ConvertedPin is true. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ConvertedPin | Boolean defaults to: false | Whether Order and SeedIndex preserve converted placement identities. The default is false. |
