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.

@DerDarcion

It's a client problem, the biomes aren't transferred correctly - so the generated terrain uses the TC-configured biomes while the client renders weather and grass color using notch configuration. Cannot be fixed within the plugin, Khorn might write a clientside plugin using spout to solve this problem.

Hi,
I played a little with the ores in config because someone has asked some time ago for configs to "more ores" ... ;-)
Her a screen of my "Miner-World" => Download (configs and bo2`s / 44kb)
Seed in server.config is again: tim1998+steps1956

config can be very easy adapted to personal preffered settings.
I`ve just changed the settings in my former world (Download some postings before) here:

1. DesertBiomeConfig.ini:
...
Ore(IRON_ORE,32,20,100,0,128,STONE,SAND)
Ore(GOLD_ORE,32,20,100,0,128,STONE,SAND)
...
Ore(DIAMOND_ORE,32,20,100,0,128,STONE,SAND)
...
Possibilitys not only for the ores are nearly unlimited ... ;-)
Top-Mod, thanks again Khoorn.

Best Regard
mysource

ressources are back, but i saw some errors, ill put that "Grass(DEAD_BUSH,0,1,100,SAND)" into plains and they spawn everywhere...

btw. dead bushes are spawning without the ressource specification in biomeconfig.

and i dont find any water_lily on my swamplands...

edit: Ok i got the waterlily after some tests.

edit2: OK the deadbush problem is gone too, it seems we need newly config files

@strupan

Hi, could it be, that You didn`t start with a new world?
Reason to this ugly "cuts" in the map are:
If changing things in the biome and/or world configs and after that again using the/an existing world, this "cuts" often show up at points, where the new parts of the map are rendered.
(not existing before and now rendered with the changed settings in configs)

Can be fixed "manually" by using "in-game" tools like Voxel Sniper (which using "WorldEdit" in Background as far as I know)

nice trees ... ;-)

Best regard

By Fixed ore stuff, did you mean we can set ore's spawn rate's etc in the config now? Because I still don't see it hehe.

EDIT: Found it! Thanks so much!

Also still having this kind of generation, any fixes?
