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.

Hi everybody,
I`ve created a new Tree (Download .bo2-File).

2 Screens here:

This screen shows it in Soartex 64 HD-Texture-Pack

... and this 2 screens shows it in Misas 64 HD-Texture-Pack

The new Tree spawns only to elevation 0 - 85 and in Biome (if present):
Plains, Rainforest, Savanna, Scrubland, Taiga, Tundra

Enjoy, best regard
mysource

Hi !

I download this plugin for the OldGenerator fonctionnality, man you're god for doing this, but this doesn't working, I continue to have the fucking ocean and the boring terrain generator.

So, i put this in my bukkit.yml :

worlds:
  world:
    generator: TerrainControl

And, i edit your WorldConfig.ini, like that :

# Possible terrain modes : Normal, OldGenerator, TerrainTest, NotGenerate, Default
#    Normal - use all features
#    OldGenerator - generate land like 1.7.3 generator
#    TerrainTest - generate only terrain without any resources
#    NotGenerate - generate empty chunks
#    Default - use default Notch terrain generator
ModeTerrain:OldGenerator

# Possible biome modes : Normal, OldGenerator, Default
#    Normal - use all features
#    OldGenerator - generate biome like 1.7.3 generator
#    Default - use default Notch biome generator
ModeBiome:OldGenerator

When the world is getting generated for the first time, no error in my console, and this when the generation process start :

14:03:58 [INFO] TerrainControl v1.2.11 is now enabled
14:03:58 [INFO] Preparing level "world"

14:04:09 [INFO] Preparing spawn area: 85%

But, when I went to the map.... It's the 1.0.0 generation... Too bad.

Can you help me ? I run on a local server, on Mac, with the last Bukkit recommended build (#1597).

Oh, and please don't care of my bad english, I'm a french native. Thank you.

@WolfGangSen. It gives you a bunch of options to balance speed with server load, in case you want to do terrain generation while your server is online. You can also force relighting at the same time, which can come in handy. I use it (along with tc map) to preview Terrain Control configurations, for example: gencircle 1000 world 0 0 /allatonce

can anyone tell me how to set the water flow speed?

when the water flows it flows like lava, but sometimes it doesn't flow. i generate the world with terraincontrol on a seperate server. the only other plugin on this server was dynmap. because of this i think the problem comes from terraincontrol

Check out the plugin WorldBorder. You first need to setup a a border, and then use the /wb fill command. Look at the tutorial for that on the plugin page :) and then simply remove the border when done

I have a world using terrain control.

Do you know of a way i can "pregenerate" it.

Have the world generate up to say 150 by 150 chunks?

Can tc do this or is there another plugin that can help me?

@Khoorn: Custom blocks are working great with 1.2.11! Thanks! :D (1.2.11 isn't yet approved as I post this, but for some reason Curse sent me a notification email with a link to the unreleased file…)

Already have a corrupted world :S http://pastie.org/3073221 and so the list goes on.... Is it normal that this plugin corrupt worlds? If it hoopens often i will go use a default map :/ But then i wasted so much time creating it. Please tell me this is a special case. And that it wont happen again. I hate it to have a corrupted world and to reset everything. I have now just removed the world and tried it again. But i just want to know if this is normal.

With one setting in the WorldConfig you can completely disable them, yes.
