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,
as a last "gift", here Your iglu:
Download bo2 HERE.
Caution:
Will most only spawn by command (/tc spawn iglu) in Your "Ice_PlainsBiome" at the last new world because it has rarity=1 and Block ID 78 (snow)!
Enjoy with Your people on Your server.
(If You get some good screens in the future, why not sharing them here)

Hi notcam45,
so I´ve finished Your map/world-settings.
This has been Your "order" / wishes:
........................
Desert Biomes:
Large Biome
Not Rare
Default Mineral Generation
Small Hills
Savan Trees
Large cactuses
Grassland Biome:
Large Biome
Not rare
Default Mineral Generation
Flat
A few normal trees
Snow Biome:
Large Biome
Not Rare
Default Ore generation
Snowblock as surface
Frozen water
Huge Pine Tree (I suggested it earlier) All over
Extreme Hills:
Medium
Rare
Tall Mountains
Default Ore generation
Trees on side of mountains
Forest Biome:
Medium
Not Rare
Default Ore generation
RARE junglegiant_trees trees
Ocean Biome:
Rare
Medium Biome Size
Deep oceans (for some reasons Oceans go all the way to bedrock, please stop this) :P
Swamps:
Cool Swamp Biome you made for that other guy :P
Custome Biome:
Floating islands
Medium
Not rare
Default Ore generation
....................
This wolrd will be hopefully as You "ordered" it, despite many things are not at my taste, I´d try to give my best to keep close to Your wishes.
....................
It was some hours of trying because some of Your wishes, mainly the custom biome with floating landmasses, needs some extreme (volatility)settings in world.config.ini too, which have to be carefully balanced in Try and Error to not disturbe the other relativly normal biomes to much.
Some pics tell will tell You more as any words could do.
DesertBiome:
Extreme HillsBiome:
ForestBiome:
... much to less trees for my taste. If You want more "Notch"-trees to be spawned in this forest, do this:
Put in this line in ForestBiomeConfig.ini:
...
UnderWaterOre(CLAY,4,1,100,DIRT,CLAY)
CustomObject()
Tree(10,Taiga1,35,Taiga2,100)
Plant(RED_ROSE,2,100,0,128,GRASS,DIRT,SOIL)
...
GrasslandBiome:
Ice_PlainsBiome:
CustomBiome:
Download of Your cpl. world TC-Plugins folder HERE.
Enjoy :-)

(PS: If I should been asked in the future by someone to create a cpl. server-world configuration, I will install a DONATE-Button at my Website before ... perhaps I´ll get a little ? back for my used time... ;-) ...)

Hi,
its all in here:
world.config.ini
....
FractureVertical:5.5 (only a try...)
Volatility1:0.65
Volatility2:0.85
VolatilityWeight1:0.5
VolatilityWeight2:0.45
.....
Give it a little try and error testing using a cpl. server-copy and settings in world.config ini changed:
NormalBiomes:<what ever Your trying biomes name is...>
After deleting the "old" worlds and restart the server, You can soon see what You get and change the values till satisfied.
It´s always some hard work to find out, but it´s worth all the effort, trust me.

Hi,
rarity 0 doesn´t work...legal values are 1 to 1000 !
My solution for Your request:
Set the bo2´s rarity to 1 and the SpawnInBiome= to an biome, Your don´t like (may be a custom one...but if so, don´t forget to put this too in world.config.ini to => CustomBiomes:<Your CustomBiome>).
This "disliked" CustomBiome should have the following settings in his biome.config.ini:
BiomeSize:9
BiomeRarity:1
This biome will nearly never show up, despite it gives You the posibility to set a bo2´s spawn exactly only to this biome.
That bo2 will not visible spawn at all by itself, but if You set the Block-ID may be to 1,2,3,12,... You will nearly everywere and alwasy be able to let it spawn by command (/tc spawn >bo2´s name without the.bo2>).
This will do the trick/job ;-)

Posted Jan 16, 2012I love this plugin! People on my server especially enjoy the bo2 trees. Is there a way to keep something from spawning unless it is manually spawned? Setting a rarity=0 obviously doesn't work.
I ask because I have some bo2 files that I want to manually place and never want them to automatically spawn.

Ok sounds great, and I have tried to edit the files myself and had no luck. For example,
I tried making the tall trees less rare by setting them at 100 each and still got full forests of them. But yes, the map will be the last piece I need to start my server, so good to job to you and Khorn.
