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.

You need the client to display them as custom biomes, but you can assign them to a default biome (ReplaceToBiome).

Posted Jul 28, 2013Know when you press F3 and it will show you what biome your in? Is there a way for it to show you the custom Biome's names? Would I have to install TerrainControl on my Client for that?

It is possible to merge an existing world with a new TC world: http://kartwork.de/tutorial/html/world_merging.html
but creating a new world is way easier. Feel free to ask more questions on the forums.

Posted Jul 20, 2013I'm wondering if anyone is interested in designing some new terrains for me! It is for my new upcoming server which is RPG themed. If you're interested, please leave an inbox so we can figure something out!
Olly.

RetroMining - I deleted your post, support requests can only be handled in the forums (see big red text above the comments).
@UnUltima23
BO3 supports random blocks, so small variations are supported within one BO3. But it's easier to make several BO3's in most cases. If you have any more questions, head to the forums.

Not sure what map you mean. Check the downloads thread: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/terrain-control/forum/43735-downloads-user-created-worlds-biomes-and-objects/
..nearly all downloadable configs for TC are linked there.

Posted Jun 30, 2013Hi,
as a requested idea, I made a new cave world.
Its ceiled at the top (256) and bottom (0) by bedrock and there are many perforated layers of stone landmass.
Rivers build up at about 85 to 90 height close to the median altitude in that cave world.
Falls of Lava and Water add some action, same with bo2´s, made to spawn underground (may be extended to even more trees and/or whatever).
All layers and other landmass has curved volatility for better look.
Sadly most can´t even be shown in Eihort screens as its huge distance AND cave resultant darkness, but 3 screens to give an impression:
Bye

Posted Jun 15, 2013Created by a special request some biomes, covered (ceiled) by bedrock and separated by bedrock walls up to that ceiling too.
The low illumination from some glowstone laterns (bo2´s) is the only light source in that otherwise cpl. dark world:
That´s not really my personal taste, but its a challenging task for sure ;-)

Posted Jun 14, 2013I created an "overworld" edition of "the End" today:
At top and bottom just void, "the End" is 100% floating End Stone with 2 versions of the obsidian pillars, one with dragon eye on top (instead of Ender crystal, which isn´t working sadly with its ID 200) and also Endermen are spawning.
