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.

I kept forgetting about the biomecolor doesn't really mean much as the client doesn't read that... I've been wanting to get an entire world with the swamp and mushroom biome colors.

I know client only knows seed but why can't the plugin - work out a suitable seed and use it. there is not way to actually fix it with out client mod any other way. My best option so far is to just disable weather and try get a decent seed that don't look too bad lol.
What if we got it working with spout to use the TC temperature map to read the colors on that and spout would use an addon that works with its client using this temperature map to tell client where proper biomes should be and to act accordingly. Basically a server side seed.
Though I know it would require spoutcraft and it would mean that if you did not use it would see screwed biome placement on client end.
has anyone manged to get a proper biome lined up and if they did how did they manage to do that.

I've placed it in the Normal biomes option. However, even when I create the world and go to it, /tc biome produces Ocean biome chunk only when I use a custome biomeconfig.

I just don't get why using a custom biome doesn't work for me! I can make all my changes in a current biome config file and those work. If I want to create a new biome, nothing from my custom biome works! Please help me out!
Edit: Also, I can't do a half/half block replacement.... like this 1=88(1-63),1=87(64-128). It only accepts the second argument, not the first one.

Posted Dec 7, 2011@Khoorn No it really is not working. It works for non custom biome but when I use a custom biome It will not work.
What I have done is add the custom biome in custom biome let it generate then I when into the custom biome set the Isle and border as required then went back into the worldconfig set them up as isle and border as required.
it did not keep upon world gen. I have tried it with out custom biome I have tried it with just the custom biome being set wtihin the biome config and not worldconfig and I have tried it with the worldconfig set and not the custom biome and it will not work at all it resets.
However Setting up a Standard biome works fine. Should I be adding the spaced in the biomeconfig ? but not the worldconfig ?
EDIT: Also what is the deal with it snowing in the desert and getting snow in places it really should not be snowing is that bug too ?

Posted Dec 7, 2011Getting a Fatal Java Error when trying to run this under Bukkit #1565 and Terrain Control 1.2.3, only occurs when the Terrain module is used (i.e. Functions fine on OnlyBiome, NotGenerate).
Log and crash dump here: http://pastebin.com/4HSUH7wD
Any ideas? :s
EDIT:
Disregard - It appears to be a problem with the Java Installation on that server rather than the plugin or Bukkit - It works fine with an exact copy of the files on another server with a different Java environment.

Posted Dec 7, 2011This is what MultiVerse guys had to say.
"Unfortunately that error seems to be caused by TerrainControl not interfacing properly with the latest CB. Try a different generator?"
This is where you can get their dev builds.

@nachtgeist
If Natchgeist fix does not work.
remove your bo2 files and re add them one at time I had an issue like this if a bo2 file is configured wrong it will throw exceptions on world create until its fixed.
