TerrainControl is an advanced world generator. Through various configuration files it gives the user control over almost every aspect of Minecraft terrain generation, with no knowledge of Java required. It can be used on Bukkit or Forge servers and on singleplayer with Forge. TerrainControl is the successor to the old PhoenixTerrainMod, which was based on the popular BiomeTerrainMod.

Metrics
As of Terrain Control 2.4.13, the plugin sends some stats to mcstats.org, a service by Hidendra and others. You can view the stats here. Terrain Control won't upload your configs, it will only send your BiomeMode along with some information of your computer. You can toggle it off by setting opt-out to true in the metrics config file. More information is available on this wiki page.

How to use
TerrainControl is more complex than most Bukkit plugins, so it may take a while to get into - but the results are worth it. If you want to create your own world, be sure to check our documentation. If you have done some reading and still have problems using TerrainControl, just post to our forums and we'll try to figure it out.

Posted Nov 29, 2011i hope the 1.0 version have an option to disable oceans or make that they not bigger as 500x500 and a option for mountain biomes, which have the look from the 1.7.3 mountains or so similar...(1.0 mountains biomes too small, to rare and a little bit boring in comparison to 1.7

Posted Nov 29, 2011Awesome job so far. Do you have any plans on making height of the map itself an option to mess with? I'd love to see some 256 or 512 high maps with this generator, and I saw another mod just came out which allows all the way up to 1024 height.

Posted Nov 29, 2011hey khoorn, whatever code is used to rotate blocks like stairs when doing random rotation of the bo2 files is rotating then 90' in the wrong direction. so if you could change the direction that would be great! oh and the stone brick and brick stairs do not seem to rotate at all... i have not tested anything but the stairs so you might want to look into it.

Posted Nov 28, 2011as a feature request, could you look into adding an option to modify the stronghold/mine shaft/npc village spawning properties? so you could have giant npc villages, or never ending strongholds beneath the surface? of smaller villages, or villages with only some buildings, etc.

Posted Nov 28, 2011I for one am 100% excited for this mod to work once again :D I wish I had found out about it before now, so this will be the first time using it. Such customizabilities are a dream come true. I hope to never have to endlessly browse random worlds in search for specific demands again. Thank you
