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.

Creater of the SSP mod ExtraBiomes
"ExtraBiomes is designed to add additional biomes using purely the trees and other resources included with Minecraft. It was not designed to revamp the way your world generates, but instead pays homage to the (way better) biomes of 1.7, and keep the spirit of Minecraft alive. Of course, ExtraBiomes features some new, and interesting biomes."
It looks to me like they're added in the same style as TC's custom biomes...
"Calling all Bukkit developers! I've been noticing a large number of people requesting a version of ExtraBiomes for Bukkit. I'd love to do this, but the process of learning the Bukkit API, and programming in it, is something I do not have time for. If anyone is interested in developing a Bukkit port, please send me a PM containing links to all of your Bukkit server mods (kinda like a resume). If I find someone who would be suiting for the job, I'll send them the source-code for the latest version of ExtraBiomes. The creator of the port may also host their own AdF.ly if they so desire. The develper would be given full credit, and an official download on the thread. You get to keep all potential revenue, and I make no request for royalties."

Posted Jan 19, 2012Just found this plugin while looking for a specific world generator.
I'm looking for a world to add to my main world to basically extend the depth of the the ground. Instead of having a world cut in half at around level 64, from level 127 to 0 is all ground/caves/etc.
I've looked through the config settings. It looks to be possible, but have yet to test. Thoughts of what I should look into specifically as to do so?

Using the dev version requires that you be on 1.1 If your still on 1.0 you need to use the official build. The error basically points to a problem with the config. Clear out the config and see if the problem persists.
