Bukkit

Can terrain control currently have border biomes border.. border biomes? If it can I'm kinda confused on how to use it.. if not.. that would be an amazing feature for drastically smoothing out landscapes and incorporating multiple world ideas (underground mega caves/floating islands/oceans all using WorldHeightControl's

@Dinastya

Hey, can you post a list of your plugins, along with your OS, Bukkit, and TC version?

I need the object Willow http://massivecraft.com/wp-content/gallery/bobjects/willow.jpg but Wessexstock has no this b02-object (only in slideshow) Maybe somebody has?

I released a new version of BBoB for all your editing needs. This doesn't add any new features or fix any bugs. It just updates the blocks, and the data values (for blocks that have changed) since 1.6 Beta to 1.2.4 Release

You can get it here: http://faskerstudio.com/minecraft/BBOB/

Now that I'm caught up, I'll start work on the 3D Version.

@Flenix1

It isn't under documented. MySource's tutorial taught me at least half of what I know about this plugin. Make sure you look at both parts of the tutorial. Oh and uh..... you might get raged at here soon.

@BladedPenguin

Are you sure those are the configs you are getting the bugs on? What OS are you using, and what craftbukkit build? Are you using any plugins like Chunk Scrambler?

How would I configure a biome to have a decreased ore rate? I found this.

Ore(DIAMOND_ORE,6,1,90,0,16,STONE)

With that configuration, would it decrease the spawn of diamond ore? Just by a little bit?

It might be possible to get tiny oases in a vast desert by co-opting the Ocean biome as your new Desert. I discovered this quite by accident when my Ocean biomes ended up not being low enough, and became vast nondescript grasslands.
in WorldConfig, do the following:

LandSize: Up to you, but if you want very small oases, you need to set this to around 4 or 5, maybe even 6.

LandFuzzy: Set this to 2 or 3. You want the oasis areas fractionated and small.

Rivers: Experiment with various river-pattern scaling, river width, etc. to find a setting that will give you the occasional pool of water in the desert. Or, you can turn them off entirely if you do not want arroyos or channels cut into the desert.

For your Normal biomes, you should have only three or four: Ocean, Forest, Jungle, and maybe Desert itself. Desert as a biome is not really necessary because you are going to rewrite Ocean as your new Desert.

IsleInBiome: should list Forest, Jungle, and any other oasis (maybe small River bits as well).

This will produce a world that is a vast sea of sand, with small irregular outcroppings of trees.

In the biome config for Ocean, replace all the height, volatility, terrain contour, terrain block cover, ore distribution, and vegetation population parameters with those found in the Desert biome. Keep the original Ocean biome size. IIRC default size for Ocean is 4. Play with sizes between 2-4.

In the biome config for Forest, Jungle, etc. you want to set these biomes so they are very small. try 8 or 9 for biomeSize and 8 to 12 for biomeRarity.

If you are using River biome, also set this small/rare and make sure it is IsleInBiome = Ocean.

If you are NOT using River biome, consider going back to WorldConfig and setting DisableNotchPonds = False. This will allow the dinky random water and lava ponds on the surface of your "desert". Or they may not appear - I haven't tested this - because you are using the Ocean biome which may not ordinarily receive NotchPonds.

This will convert all the Oceans in your world to Deserts. Make sure that's what you want. If you need the vast deserts but also want a water source, consider adding Swampland back to the Normal biome mix and sizing it to give you broad, shallow, swampy seas.

You may also need to play with the water source block height range to prevent lakes from forming aboveground if you do not want water to be abundant. A reasonable cutoff is y=60. This ensures a little digging will provide some water, and the occasional sand sinkhole will reveal a hidden pool.

You can play with the volatility, block replace data, and sea level for the Desert-Ocean to get a variety of effects, including giant dunes, gravel flats, etc.

I've finally started to get the hang of TC, but I'm being stumped by biome sizes.

I basically want a vast desert with 1+2 other custom biomes, along with small "oasis" forests (I'll attempt to add a jungle inside a forest at some point.. if I ever get that far). Essentially, I want a huge desert speckled with forests no larger than 20-30 blocks across.

I've been attempting to use decimal values for the biome size in comparison to generation depth in an attempt to get very small biomes.. and have come to the conclusion that it's whole numbers only. What other ways can I reduce biome size? And, how difficulty is biome islanding?

@deleted_6846210

I used the world as well. Pretty much the same result as you. I don't understand the problem all to well.

Also, to everyone waiting, there is a 1.2.4 dev build out, and it works fine with the current TC.
