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.

Hey Mysource...
I don't have a conversion process. :)
I've found Ruby scripts and such that CLAIM to be able to do this, but they are too technical for me to use. I'm looking for some quick converter again, even if I have to hand edit values.

Posted Feb 11, 2012I have a problem. ReplaceBlock:78=0(60-90) Leaves snow stripes everywhere instead of getting rid of the snow. Instead there are stripes of snow below 90. Is it replace block fighting with the low temperature?

Posted Feb 11, 2012I have problem, I think that it's bug. When I change values like LandRarity, LandFuzzy or FrozenOcean TC generate only big ocean. I have tried to reload Minecraft-server, reload TC, restart server, change one of these values one by one. Nothing seems to help. Sometimes WorldConfig.ini return settings which I changed after 5 reload or restart.
PS. I know that my english sucks, but I hope that someone who can solve my problem understand me. :/

Hi Khoorn,
I don´t exactly understand that "divisoin by zero" thing (sadly I know still much to less about programming / java).
I changed many values to things like 1.9 or -2.1 and simmilar avoiding 2.0 and - 2.0 by doing this ... despite i´m not knowing exactly why this is so important.
It seems to help, but still occure some spots like this mainly at border ocean biome to the rest
(but may be it´s why I used teleporting to get faster around in the map):
... and this one is just for the "sun down look" at the "Water-Rocks" ... ;-)
Thanks for helping, I´ll get deeper in testing with the changed settings during the next days.
Bye for now,
mysource

Posted Feb 11, 2012@deleted_6846210 Also found problem .. in terrain generation code " something/ Biome.Height + 2" You have -2 in Ocean biome - and this division by zero break all ..
So solution: use -2.1 :)
I will add check for this in next version.

Posted Feb 11, 2012I think the corrupted world is because i made a skyland biome in the main world.
I just removed all blocks till level 60.
And i just reseted my map again and it already corrupted again.
So i guess its because of the skyland biome.
the console is spamming messages like this:
2012-02-11 14:23:34 [INFO] Attempted to place a tile entity (net.minecraft.server.TileEntityMobSpawner@3fedb2fd) at -743,31,-5617 (AIR) where there was no entity tile!

Posted Feb 11, 2012@ ALL.
What I´m really missing here since the beginning (and often mentioned!) is, that 99% (close to nobody) doesn´t shows his creations of nice TC-Lanscapes here.
Why not????
There is no excuse in my point of view refusing to do this.
Webspace is cheap, eveybody should have and not use other possibilities (always much more uncomfortable for themself and even more for the others to use)...but better then nothing like now...;-(
...and always remember as a general "rule" in live:
You get what You give !
So, don´t be a maroon....and hurry on to show what You have created :-)
Always remaining with some positive hope,
mysource

Minecraft 1.2 just JEB tweeted that there is going to be a change in region file compression once again and that region files will now actually be storing the biome data so this means that the biome will no longer be seeded by the client and we should be able to get the right biome and colors line up with terrain control with out needing any custom clients.
@deleted_6846210
Thats the one, But I cannot find the spikey one anymore, I saw an image it was like this but thinner, just saw something like this once and it looked cool.
