-- Setup

-- === CAUTION ===
-- the following values: SEARCH_DISTANCE_OVERWORLD, SEARCH_DISTANCE_NETHER,
-- BUILD_DISTANCE_XY, W_MAX, and NETHER_COMPRESSION have been set to together
-- guarantee that standard 2-wide portals will never split into two exits.
-- Splitting will still occur rarely for portals in the overworld wider than 2,
-- will still be likely for portals in the nether wider than 16, and guaranteed
-- for portals in the nether wider than 18.
-- Changing one value without changing the others might have uninteded
-- consequences. You have been warned :-)

-- Distance compression factor for the nether. If you change this, you might
-- want to recalculate SEARCH_DISTANCE_* and W_MAX too.
local NETHER_COMPRESSION		= 8
-- Maximum distance from the ideal build spot where active parts of portals are
-- allowed to be placed.
-- There is a tradeoff here between the "walking" distance (distance to walk in
-- the overworld to get a new nether portal exit, which we want to be as similar
-- to Minecraft as possible, which is 136 [16*8+8]), and the area available for
-- exit search (which we want to maximise).
-- For our mapgen performance reasons, our search area is clipped by chunk, so
-- in the unlucky corner case the worst-case build area could be a quarter of
-- the expected size.
-- For MC build distance of 16, which gives a build area of 1,089 X-Z blocks
-- [(16+16+1)*(16+16+1)]. To guarantee this area here, we'd need to pick a build
-- distance of 32 [(32+32+1)*(32+32+1)/4]. But build distance of 32 implies
-- walking distance of 264 [32*8+8], which is already quite far, so need to pick
-- the right tradeoff:
--
-- Build dist   Minimum build area      Minimum walk distance
-- 48            2,401                  392
-- 32            1,089                  264
-- 24            625                    200

local BUILD_DISTANCE_XZ			= 24
-- The following two values define distance to search existing portal exits for.
-- For context, Minecraft search is "8 chunks away" for the overworld (17
-- chunks centered on the ideal position), and "1 chunk away" for the nether (3
-- chunks centered on the ideal position).
-- To prevent portal splitting on spawned portals, we add one to the build
-- distance: spawned portals are 2-wide, so we need to make sure that we can
-- reach the second exit block (which can spawn in the direction away from the
-- player).
-- The search is boundary-inclusive, meaning for position 0 in the overworld,
-- search will be from -N to N.
-- If you change this, keep in mind our exits table keying divisor is 256, so
-- small changes might have outsize performance impact. At <=128, max 4 buckets
-- are searched, at 200 max 9 buckets are searched.
