3008 (Dimension) (SCP)

--WARNING--

(Important points are highlighted in red)

To ensure correct generation of the dimension, IT IS REQUIRED TO SET AN HIGH RANDOM TICK SPEED (PREFERABLY 900) due to it being based around block tick (it won't slow the game with other mods though). 

The command to use is /gamerule randomTickSpeed 900, and you need cheats on to use it.

This will be changed in the next updates so that the mod doesn't rely on a high random tick speed. 

The mod also requires Geckolib, which will NOT be downloaded automatically (I added it in dependencies but doesn't seem to work. I'm looking to fix the issue, but for now you'll have to download it yourself).

IT IS ALSO ADVISED TO SET THE RENDER DISTANCE TO 5 CHUNKS WHEN IN THE 3008 DIMENSION FOR A BETTER EXPERIENCE AND NOT TO AVOID BUGS. FOR THE MAXIMUM IMMERSION, IT IS ALSO ADVISED TO SET BRIGHTNESS TO "MOODY".

The mod is in an early stage, and it will be constantly updated (if someone actually downloads it) so downloading the mod will serve as support to me and will help me make this mod better. 

A SHORT OVERVIEW

This mod adds an infinitely generated retail store under the name of "Mokang Stores", the idea for which originates from the SCP-3008 creepypasta. It consists of recreated house ambients and rooms full of furniture, vending sections of materials and such. Basically what you'd find in a normal retail store, but adapted to the Minecraft game. The mod is, in fact, vanilla style (which means it follows vanilla style guidelines and "blends in" with the game context).

The concept has already been elaborated virtually into other games (like the 3008 Modality) and some theorized it to be made into a minecraft mod, but it never was possible due to infinite random generation of different structures not having been expansely explored by developers. For this project I have studied the popular methods of random dimension generation and combined them with a modular one based on probability.

Briefly, I created my own way of infinite random generation and I am not, therefore, crediting anyone for it (in case you were wondering).

ENTERING THE DIMENSION

First thing you must know, is how to enter the dimension of the 3008 store. Simply, respawning in a village house will almost certainly bring you to the dimension. It is preferable to have a profession block in the building (like a lot of village houses do). This means you can't enter with items on you (cause you don't keep items on respawn by default), unless if you have keep inventory on.

Upon entering, you'll be greeted by said retail store with a wall behind you and two on the far sides, but you'll find none going forward.

THE DIMENSION'S INSIDES

The structures you may find are random, and there are some pretty rare special ones to aid you in your survival.

There are 2 other floors, which you can travel between to find the exit.

I won't spoil any structure though. Just know you may rarely find some special structures useful for your survival.

Also be aware there is some fog in the dimension. Not too much, just enough to create some atmosphere.

THE INHABITANTS OF THE DIMENSION

You're not alone in this dimension. You may find other creatures, such as employees of the shop. Something looks a bit off about them though. Other creatures can and will be added, as I'm open to any suggestion. 

There is a day/night cycle consistent with the opening and closing hours of the store, an you can distinguish the times of the day based on fog color and light level. 

You will occasionally find pillars, next to which there will be a computer that can display you a little tutorial about structures and creatures of the dimension. 

That's about all the infos you need. 

Mods that go well with this one:

• Any SCP Mod which is vanilla style goes well with 3008. Of course, only for 1.20.1, so there aren't that many, but they try to give the same spooky feeling this one tries to give.
• Hardcore Darkness, which is a mod that basically enforces the dark effect at night, goes well with 3008 aswell.
• I'd say that Backrooms mods have a lot in common with this one, as they have the same feel. They both can be entered by mere accident and are almost impossible to exit. So mods on that theme would go well with this one too.

POSSIBLE FUTURE UPDATES

These are things that I may add in the near future.

• A Civilization Update: if this update will be added, I'll add a rudimentary civilization of survivors (villagers? or what else? I've yet to decide) that will spawn similarly to villages in the overworld. It would stick with the original lore of the SCP-3008, and it would be interesting to make. Also I think it would be a very enjoyable feature.

Again, I am open to any suggestion on things to add.
