Delighted

The Delighted Flat Challenge

Delighted is a modpack primarily based around Create and Farmer’s Delight, along with add-ons. However, this isn’t just your typical ordinary Create modpack! The world generates in a special, modified superflat (semi-flat? sorta-flat?) that includes all biomes and structures you would find in a normal world, plus a few more. Structures that would normally spawn underground or in a cave, instead spawn underneath the bedrock layer. This makes for a special challenge incorporating elements of skyblock, superflat, and regular modded survival. There are a few structures (listed below) that allow access below the bedrock without glitches or exploits.
Note: you do not have to choose the superflat setting in world generation! You can keep it on default and the modpack does all the work for you.

Ores and Resources:
All resources are obtainable, but not all ores spawn. Above the surface, chests can contain any ore-based resource. Hunting for chests is an ideal way to get started before automating resources with Create. Zinc ore spawns on the surface, although not frequently. Diamond and coal both generate in subsurface fossils. Redstone ore spawns subsurface in Cinnabar Wires (from Spelunkery). Iron and quartz ore spawn inside of special geodes in the Nether, and quartz can also be obtained by corrupting stone near a portal. Copper, emerald, and lapiz can be found in chests, obtained through farms and automation, or villager trading, but do not spawn natural ores. Gold ore spawns in the nether as normal. Ancient debris does not naturally generate (or if it does, it’s incredibly rare), but netherite ingots and ancient debris are both found in nether structure chests. Finally, there is a new special ore Randomium, which spawns on the surface levels and in the End. Mining it can drop any item in the game.

Enchanting and artifacts:
It is possible to use a grindstone and a book to extract enchantments off of gear, at the cost of levels. These books can then be automated with Create: Enchantment Industry, or immediately applied to another item with an anvil. Don’t dismiss an enchanted item offhand, it could come in handy later!

Structures that are guaranteed to get you below the bedrock:

• Igloos: Not only do you get subsurface access, it comes with a ladder and an area to land! Igloos will get you the deepest down without using water or building.
• Trail Ruins: always guaranteed to start above the surface and continue below. A fairly good option to go for.
• Illusioner Hut (Friends & Foes): You’ll have to fight the illusioner to get access to the basement, but it provides a good starting point
• Ruined Portals: Any portal that spawns on the surface can get you subsurface, but they don’t have very much access and no pre-built floor like the other options. However, they are fairly common throughout the world and easy to spot.
• Cabins (Profundis): one of the most common structures with subsurface access
• Jungle Temples: Just barely enough to poke through the bedrock layer, but always makes a uniform rectangle in the bedrock.
• Desert Pyramids: Mostly flush with the bedrock, like Jungle Temples, but the central shaft goes a fair bit deeper. The largest footprint of removed bedrock.

Structures that are possible to get you below the bedrock:

• Village wells/fishing spots: The deep wells that can punch through bedrock are rather uncommon in village generation, but still possible.
• Mushroom huts (Profundis): Very rare to spawn touching the surface, and small enough to only barely get through the bedrock.
• Abandoned Camps (Artifacts): extremely rare to spawn at the level to break bedrock, but technically possible.
• Amethyst Dungeons (Profundis): When it spawns close enough to the surface, it looks like just another geode, except amethyst. Decent depth with a wide stable platform, but a large mob fight to deal with. The biome they spawn in has small patched of amethyst blocks that also break the subsurface

Need to head back up again or want a bigger hole? A Compression Miner from Spelunkery can break any block, including bedrock. The annoying piston glitch is finally outmoded.

A few notes about compatibility:
This mod should be fully multi-player compatible, but this has not been tested. Any biome/worldgen mods that require Terrablender are _technically_ compatible, but make the worldgen really ugly and weird, so I don’t recommend using them.
The modpack still uses the deprecated version of Farmer’s Delight, but I will update the pack to support Farmer’s Delight Refabricated soon.

Recommended additions:
Due to licensing, I can’t include these directly in the pack, but highly recommend adding them for a complete experience:
Create Editions: Adds Trinket compat to goggles and backtanks, allowing you to wear armor at the same time.
Nether’s Delight (Fabric)): The Nether add-on for Farmer’s Delight, complementing End’s Delight. (This one is a little poorly documented, unfortunately. Machetes are used for hoglins, like a knife but higher damage. Propellant Cane is harvested with a knife, not a machete)
Clickable Advancements: Allows a user to click on the advancement in chat and see where it is on the tree, as well as what mod it’s from. A great quality-of-life improvement. Requires Cupboard.
Vanilla PBR resourcepack) Adds shader support to the basegame blocks but does not change the visuals
