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.

There will be pictures of all bo2´s and the according Downloads.

Please be a little patient, best regard.

@XInstinctX HI,
this may be the mistake You make:

In
bukkit.yml

worlds:
world: <=put in here YOUR world name instead of "world" !
generator: TerrainControl

Could you please make a version for bukkit dev? Because all plugins works. Only terrain keeps getting corrupted and fails at generating... here image of my terrain after updating to 1.1

Also, I was wondering if you could make a few changes on the files you sent me, only if you have time. But here we go.

Forest Biome

Snow Biomes:
Large Pine tress
Large Snow Biome
More Hills in the Snow Biome

Swamps
No Swamps

Nether
Huge Opening like in your picture

Desert
Hills in the deserts
Stop ore from generating on the surface

Mountains
Less caves

Thank you for helping us out, we can't thank you enough!

Hi,
I tried a little with some settings this morning to try to achive what You want.

Next steps is to You:
Please download the custom2_world.zip HERE and give it a try.

3 Screens from new Desert Biome
and
from new IceWorld Biome
and
from new HillsBiome:

Regarding the settings You wished for the nether (the screen at top isn´t from myself, so I don´t know how to do this), I know no single way to change things with TC-Mod.
I don´t need it for myself (Nether) and so it´s no probleme, but if someone knows...?
Would be helpfull for notcam45.

notcam45 feel free to ask me (and the other people here... ;-) ...) again for changing things if the custom2_world still has things You miss or even dislike.

Best regard

Hi,
to explain more deep:

Server-folder => Plugins => TerrainControl => worlds => world, world2, world3 ...

To start the different worlds, just configure it in bukkit server.properties:
level-name=world (...or world1 ... or...)

You alternativly can use an bukkit Mod for starting Multiworlds.
Look here as an example: Plugin

I can answer that, It will be updated when there is a recommend build of bukkit available for 1.1 it will likely not be updated while they are pumping out development builds like they are currently.

^ is the answer you should expect from every developer when a New minecraft version comes out and bukkit breaks plugins.

@deleted_6846210

Just edit your past to add that you need to mouse over the image and save image to desktop :), they are fullsize if your save them and then open them.

Hi,
the plugin is made by geniouse Khoorn !
I´m only a user of it and try to share the things I´ve learned with this Mod/Plugin.

It´s late now in Germany (3 at night) and I got sleeping now.
Your wishes regarding the settings will be worked through tomorrow by myself.

Good night

Hi, me again (it´s a TC-Night...)

I have been asked by PN about settings and how to get specific biome sizes and so on.
We humans are "eye-animals", so I´ve put some 12 pictures on my Webspace.

Here they are for comparition:

BiomeSize changed from 2 or 3 (left side of picture) to 5 (right side of picture).
Nothing else changed!

LandRarity=94 / LandSize=1 ......LandRarity=98 / LandSize=2

LandRarity=98 / LandSize=0 ......LandRarity=90 / LandSize=0

LandRarity=90 / LandSize=8 ......LandRarity=99 / LandSize=8

LandRarity=99 / LandSize=0 ......LandRarity=96 / LandSize=0

LandRarity=97 / LandSize=1 ......LandRarity=98 / LandSize=1

LandRarity=92 / LandSize=2 ......LandRarity=90 / LandSize=2

LandRarity=90 / LandSize=4 ......LandRarity=90 / LandSize=5

GenerationDepht= 20 ................ GenerationDepht= 5

This helped me much to understand a little more about this stuff.
I hope many people can get some info this way too.

(Why is this Forum so fxxxxxx smaaaallll ... :-( ... nearly all of the comparing "split-pictures" are cut of by about 40%)

Best regard

@wessexstock

Hi,
about the leaves, it seems to me sometimes, that a little few disapear during world build up.
But this stops after some time.
Regarding the Yuca, the saplings don´t grow as far as I have watched, sorry.

During creation of tree bo2´s I take care to put the wood and leaves at the rigt paces in the right amount/connection to wood.
It is still a little try and error for myself.

I changed one setting in the yuca.bo2 now to "is tree" and may be this will make things better.
For trying out, here the Download.

Regarding the "old" MC 1.0.1 (I just stay at it for some more time...), didn´t You make/have copys/saves of former Versions?
In an elder Post I´ve talked about using a differnt startup-methode (with .bat file) from a different folder (not %appdata%).
Using the minecraftSP.jar for startup, is a safe solution too. (for sure to use only with legal MC).
...but even minecraft.jar is asking if You will update...and I only do this with a complete copy of my MC/Bukkit Folder.
To copy and save always everything is keeping my nerves strong ... ;-)
(...and MC´s in any versions are really easy to find in the Web)

Hi,
sorry, but I use the "BetterBOB".
I know no other Tools for making the.bo2´s beside Notepad++ (or similar editors) to create the .bo2´s "handmade".

That worked, but now I don't have a 1.0.1 client with which to access my terrain generation server.

Anyone have a link to last weeks outdated client?

Edit: Also, do the saplings on your Yuka's grow or does the simple act of them being placed by the generator stop that ? Eg. The way that b02's leaves can be >4 from wood sources and don't decay until interacted with.

Edit: I just realized that it was a fern instead, but my question still stands if anyone knows the answer.
