HothGenerator
This world generator creates a real ice world that isn't just normal land covered with snow.
The plugin can actually generate more world types from the star wars movies (Tatooine, Dagobah and Mustafar worlds) but those are not described in detail here. You are left to explore and find all their secrets on your own.

This generator produces an icy world with a thick ice and snow layer and the occasional snow covered mountain. Hidden below you might find tiny caves where life that once inhabited the surface still survives and perhaps you'll find strange structures left over from some ancient civilization.

It also applies some extra rules to the world:
- Ice block, packed ice blocks and snow blocks drops as blocks
- Water placed in open air or above a certain level instantly freezes
- Lava placed in open air or above a certain level is turned into stone
- snow and ice does not melt
- No rain falls, only snow
- Plants doesn't grow if exposed to the sky
- Grass and mycelium dies under open sky if it can't spread into safety
- Slime does not spawn naturally above the stone layer
- Stay out at night and you will take damage from the cold
All rules are fully optional by editing the advanced options section in the configuration file.
Players can don an environment suit to protect themselves from the environment.
- Simply wear full armour with each piece with a name starting with
Environment
Commands to create a world:
STEP 1: You must add a new world to the HothGenerator configuration. This is done using the /hothaddworld command.
/hothaddworld worldname type
Where "worldname" is the name of your world and "type" is one of hoth, tatooine, dagobah or mustafar.
STEP 2: Create the actual world.
If you are using the excellent MultiWorld plugin you can create a new world like this:
/mw create worldname plugin:HothGenerator
/mw load worldname
Do note that you should use the nether for the mustafar world. Use plugin_nether above.
And for Multiverse:
/mv create worldname normal -g HothGenerator
or for a mustafar world:
/mv create worldname nether -g HothGenerator

Posted May 2, 2013It seems to be producing chunk errors and internal server errors and kicking people from my server.

Posted Apr 21, 2013Hi orgin, We are making a server based off of this plugin and would love no one more to help run it then you! We currently already have a server with 15,500 members and are expanding to a network! The hoth server will be VERY reliant on your plugin so we would love to send you some cash and love to have you help us run it!

Looks like your server is disabling the plugin while it is generating chunks. Which it shouldn't do.
What world manager are you using?

Posted Apr 17, 2013I log on to my server, and the terrain is amazing! But after about a minute, I am logged off with an "Internal Server Error". The error is the same as @Zombine911

Posted Apr 8, 2013This looks wild! Too bad we can't customize sky-color per-map easier.
I wonder how this map would look with End environment. hmm

I see the link was blocked but it was the 1.5.1 version right? And assuming it was will it include the freezing off-set fix I mentioned earlier? Sorry If I'm pushy my server testers are getting pretty unhappy with it. :P

Seems they changed the water placement logic. I'll look into it.

Posted Apr 4, 2013The plugin does work with 1.5.1 However I have the slight problem that water and lava placed on the surface only freeze/turn to stone when placed upon a snow block, doesn't work when placed on snowslabs.

Posted Apr 4, 2013I hate asking, but does this work with current Bukkit build? They say you should test it yourself...but sometimes it appears to work and causes some serious problems you don't notice at first. With a generator I feel this is especially important. :)
Also, still my favorite generator, I hope this keeps getting updated :)

Posted Apr 2, 2013Hi again orgin_org! You may not remember me, but I was the one who requested the ability to have the y offset value. I have been using the generated world to build in, but just recently gave the config file the world name to set the HothGen world rules. Although the y offset works, the level at which lava and water freeze is still set to 64 blocks high (it doesn't change with y offset). If you could have it change with the y offset or allow the value to be set that would be awesome! It is not a big problem as of now, but I feel it will really annoy future players on the server. Thanks for creating this plugin, the world gen is beautiful!
(I believe I may be using a slightly outdated version, but I did not see this issue addressed in any of the change logs so just let me know if you've fixed it already.) Thanks!
