Garden of Glass & Witch Hut generation

earlgrey-senatehouse

Hi all! When running Garden Of Glass (1.20.1), should vanilla tools for finding Witch Huts, Slime Chunks etc still work? I know the mod offers tools for farming Glowstone etc, but I'd like to rely on standard Technical Minecraft solutions where possible.

I also know Botania affects worldgen to some extent, specifically in the context of mystical flower generation, but I don't know if this holds true for the Garden of Glass world type.

(In addition to Botania, I have Storage Drawers installed, which I don't believe affects worldgen at all)

EDIT: Another question: Is there a way to get Dripstone that isn't the Wandering Trader? I've read this thread but not seen anything about Dripstone.

Yes, structure bounding boxes are still generated in GoG, even though the structures themselves aren't generated.

williewillus I assumed as much, since the Loonium relies on those!

The more interesting question for me was "will these structures appear in the same places as in Vanilla, assuming Botania is the only worldgen-affecting mod installed?". This is important for tool-assisted structure finding, since many available tools only support vanilla.

I've just tested a known 1.20.1 Witch Hut seed on a standard world, with Botania and Garden of Glass installed. The hut seems to generate in the right place, so I assume it should be fine!

Botania's skyblock mode uses whatever world generation a regular overworld would use, assuming the same world generation data packs (vanilla or otherwise) are present. It merely doesn't put the actual blocks anywhere. This may affect Y-level or generation conditions of some structures, but generally you should see the same structure bounding boxes being generated as in a vanilla overworld.
