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.

Yes, the floating world is complete this way. There is no really clear way I know, to do this only to one biome. I got it one to work, but not in this size and extremness.

for the worldconfig:
Remove the biomes and make only a oceanbiome
And then for the biome use something like this:

Hi,
I can only try to help with this:
Change the values regarding RiverSize:
....
RiverRarity:10 (or higher)
RiverSize:0
RiversEnabled:false
....
This should do the trick.
You shoud config RiverBiome.ini too:
BiomeSize:1
BiomeRarity:10 (or lower)
Secons trick is to lower the WaterLevel. (below around 60)
This makes rivers to dry creeks / valleys
(The rest of Your quesrtions can hopefully be much better answered by others)
Best regard

Posted Feb 6, 2012Khoorn or any others please read my msg.
1)Could you work on a option to create skyland biomes?
So there is like a option to set the lowest point.
And a option to change the space inside the biomes land.
So we can make a lot floating islands.
It's a bit hard to explain but on how the plugin is now it is not possible to make skyland.
I know its possible to make the whole map skyland but i only want one biome be skyland.
2)And also add to the terrain modes super flat if possible.
I'm using trippy terrain to create the flat world would be easier to have one plugin do all.
3)And i think the isle biomes are broken or im just doing it wrong lol.
But i have a big ocean biome and i want some islands at the water.
Just floating islands but they never spawned.
4)And is there a way to remove the water between biomes?
I removed the border size but there are still like 5 blocks of water between each biome.
And biome switched look very ugly by that.
5) And a option to let bo2 files respawn back would be great.
Like they get removed every now and then and then placed on a other place.
Because all structures are already mined/looted in a day.

Posted Feb 6, 2012Hi,
made just the last hours some more custom map configs for a "Donater":
"Floating Sky world":
(Next screens are from a separate world but all biomes (and 8 biomes more) are in the same world / map)
"Glacier Biome":
"Vulcano Biome":
"Swampland Biome" (with Lilipads...bo2...good idea by arkdengal ;-) ...):
"Snow Mountains Biome":
You get what You give ;-)

Posted Feb 6, 2012Hey Khoorn!
Badass plugin man thanks!
How do you get mobs to spawn with after generation? with the Resources queue?
The biome, Hell, has zombie pigmen and ghasts spawn... I wanted to have the same effect but for a custom biome? Any ideas?
Thanks for your hard work, time, and patience xD
