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.

Posted Dec 18, 2011Ore(163,16,20,100,0,64,STONE)orReplacedBlocks:13=163(45-55), Terrain Control complains: https://gist.github.com/1494258 Can you just write the raw block IDs, or does Bukkit require a realorg.bukkit.Materialor something? Thanks again, you're doing a great job with this plugin! @Kastestjerne and the forum thread it links to for some tips!-

Posted Dec 18, 2011I have a strange bug. When I generate my world, it just stops using bob-files sometimes. I had the same bug some versions ago. I had just bob-trees in all blocks above X = 3000. And now I just got Bob-Trees in a range of -3400 to 3400, then it suddenly stops using new trees.
But might also be a bug from the worldgeneration plugin?

Posted Dec 18, 2011Would it be possible / hard to add the possibility of spawning additional ores (as in custom ores) in biomes? Effectively you'd "simply" allow users to specify block ids to spawn, using the same code and options as the existing ores.

Hmm, weird. (Cool map, by the way!)
My full Terrain Control config is contained in that GitHub repo I linked earlier. Here's the config with working desert oases, and here's the config with an added isle biome which makes the desert oases disappear.
The only other bits are the server config and log, which are the same between runs. I stuck those in a gist here: https://gist.github.com/1493145
I just tried a few times with and without BO2s, increasing isle biome chance, and with and without other Bukkit plugins, but no luck :( Are you definitely using TC v1.2.8 and CB r1572?
P.S. Any luck with the
/tc reloadbug?-

There's no Minecraft 1.x release yet, but there's a link to the latest development build at the bottom of the mod overview right above these comments. The current dev build, v1.2.8, works with CB r1572 and, as far as I can tell, just has a few issues to iron out before release.

Posted Dec 17, 2011I'm using TC for old 1.7.3 terrain gen and it seems like no matter what settings I use it seems like the fracture settings are off. Anyone got any settings that don't produce over the top terrain for old school terrain?

Posted Dec 17, 2011@Khoorn Yes, actually! I saw it once last night, after testing some BOBs with
/tc reloadand/tc spawn.Edit: in addition, it looks like Terrain Control might only be applying the first isle biome in
IsleBiomesif there are multiple biomes in the list. Comparison of configs and resulting biome maps using the same seed (-6093590532868305932):If I set
IsleBiomes:MushroomIsland,DesertOasis, for example, only mushroom islands show up and the oases disappear.Maybe it's a known issue and/or fixed for 1.2.9, but if not, hopefully someone can reproduce with 1.2.8 and CB r1572!
