# Random world names<\/p>\n
Generates random world names for the world creation screen. Just `New World` gets boring after a while, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n
The default list of names allows for over 10 billion different combinations.
\nThere are only two cases the default name is used:
\n– Either your computer is too slow to generate a new name within the configured time limit (default 2 seconds)
\n– Or you have so many worlds that no unique combinations could be found<\/p>\n
### Configuration (from version 1.1.0)<\/p>\n
#### Config file<\/p>\n
The config file (as of version 1.1.0) offers the following options:<\/p>\n
| Name | Description | Default value |
\n|—————|————————————————————|—————|
\n| `name_length` | The number of words (name entries) to generate a name from | `3` |
\n| `delimiter` | The delimiter to use for joining the entries | ` ` (Space) |
\n| `timeout` | The generation timeout (seconds) | 2 |<\/p>\n
*In-Game configuration is possible if ModMenu is installed.*<\/p>\n
#### Resource pack configuration <\/p>\n
Additional names can be added using resource packs, and unwanted packs may be blacklisted.<\/p>\n
##### Adding names<\/p>\n
Location: `assets\/random-world-names\/names.json`<\/p>\n
Structure: Json Array<\/p>\n
Example:
\n“`json
\n[
\n “name1”,
\n “name2”,
\n “name3”,
\n …
\n]
\n“`<\/p>\n
#### Blacklisting Packs<\/p>\n
Location: `assets\/random-world-names\/blacklist.json`<\/p>\n
Structure: Json Array<\/p>\n
Example:
\n“`json
\n[
\n “pack-id”,
\n “other-pack-id”,
\n “third-pack-id”,
\n …
\n]
\n“`<\/p>\n
Note: The default names can be disabled by adding `random-world-names` to the blacklist. <\/p>\n Versions below 1.1.0 only contain the functionality to add names using the `names.json` file.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n That’s it!<\/p>\n ### License<\/p>\n This mod is licensed under the LGPL-3.0 (or any later version) license.
