Resource Queue

In each Biome Config you will find the resources queue, this is where most of the things that populate your biomes are configured. The resources will be placed in the order you define them.

Registry	SeaGrass	SeaPickle	SmallLake	SurfacePatch	Tree	UnderGroundLake	UnderWaterOre	UnderWaterPlant	Vein
Vines	Well

	Parameter	Value	Description
	Generates custom objects that you have created (for example the mushrooms in the image to the left). Frequency, rarity and all other placement rules are defined in the custom object file itself. Note: Trees have their own resource for placement, this resource is best used for non-tree objects. Custom Objects have a maximum horizontal size of 32x32.
Syntax:	`CustomObject(Object[,AnotherObject,...])`
	Object	String	Name of corresponding object name stored in the /WorldObjects folder
Example:	CustomObject(MyMushroom1,MyMushroom2,MyMushroom3)

	Parameter	Value	Description
	Generates a tree either using vanilla Minecraft tree types, or a custom object placed in the `WorldObjects` folder. Possible vanilla tree types are listed in the image to the left.
Syntax:	`Tree(Frequency,TreeType,TreeTypeChance[,AdditionalTreeType,AdditionalTreeTypeChance.....])`
	Frequency	Integer	Number of times OTG will attempt to generate the resource per chunk.
	TreeType	String	Name of the tree (either vanilla Minecraft tree, or Custom Object)
	TreeTypeChance	Integer	Chance that the given tree will spawn.
Example:	`Tree(10,Taiga1,30,Taiga2,30,MyCustomTree1,100)` This means that OTG tries to generate ten trees in a chunk. It first tries to generate a Taiga1 tree with a 30% chance. If it fails to generate a Taiga1 tree it tries to generate a Taiga2 tree with a 30% chance. If that also fails, it tries to generate a custom object tree (MyCustomTree1) with a 100% chance. Please note that a 100% chance does not guarantee a tree generates, there still needs to be enough space. There are never 10 trees in a chunk, simply because there isn't enough space for that. However, `Tree(50,Tree,100)` will cause more trees to spawn than `Tree(8,Tree,100)`, simply because OTG tries more spots out to place a tree. You can limit a tree type to certain height values by appending `(MinHeight=number;MaxHeight=number)` to the tree type. For example, `Tree(10,Forest(MinHeight=70),20,BigTree(MinHeight=80;MaxHeight=130),50,Tree,100)` will make the big trees only spawn between y=80 and y=130 and the birch trees only above y=70, while normal trees will still spawn at all altitudes. As you can see from the example, you don't need to specify both the `MinHeight` and `MaxHeight`, writing only one of the two is also valid. Please note that the `;` instead of a `,` is not a typo. Note that Tree() does not work underground; for cave worlds or other scenarios where you need tree-like resources underground, use CustomObject() instead.
