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.

How can I add a custom surface block? Everytime I set a surfaceblock (e.g. 249 - copper ore from Industrialcraft) in Biome settings it's reset by the server...

And how to write blocks with a custom number (e.g. 136:2)?

We're using the latest version of Terrain Control, we tried with Multiverse 2.2-AB and 2.3-b478. We're running craftbukkit version 1847.

@deleted_6846210 Hmm really I'll have to double check, but we let the config files regen from source serveral times to no avail. Anytime I added TerrainControl as a generator for the world, either in multiverse's worlds.yml manually (their import is broken), or by adding it to the bukkit.yml multiverse would throw the error. It would also throw the error if I tried a TC check

@minechomp It is easy - set biome generator to make islands in ocean ( see for example ) And set in ocean biome BiomeHeight=-3 Now ocean biome is empty space. For cut bottom part of isles use CustomHeightControl

Hi,

1. Do ALL world names match in properties, bukkit,yml and so on?
2. Is Your multiverse right/matching version?
.... seem to be "only" a configuration problem to me.

I got this error while trying run my server, after updating to multiverse and terrain control.

Error occurred while enabling Multiverse-Core v2.2-b439 (Is it up to date?): r

Multiverse apparently wouldn't load the world with TerrainControl. Not sure if this is a Multiverse or TC problem.

Dont change anything except change generation depth to somewhere between 6-9 depending on how big you want them. The smaller the number, the bigger the biomes.

So you would change GenerationDepth:10 to GenerationDepth:8 to get slightly bigger biomes. This setting is found in WorldConfig.ini

Hi,
You are really sure with this?
I´m not ...;-) ... may be, You mixed something up a little.
Hint: I get it vice vesa.

Hi,
I didn´t get the Mail, sorry.
(but there is an Emails adress to read too...:-O...)

By the way, it´s still "private" now as long as strupan didn´t respons to my images so it was made for him, as You can see.
(I hope he will respons soon...)

But if he will not, You can get this configs by the usual way...
As mentioned often:
Everything how to get "ready" configs from myself, can be read at my Website!

@strupan

Hi strupan,
yes I can do this for You.. but only the usual way:
Contact me by Email via my website (see: signature) and tell me more.
(Which trees or without bo2´s...which surface, other biomes too? and so on)
Please read also my "requirements" there regarding TC confgigs creation ;-)

You are looking for a simmilar world like this? :
(...this is only an example with surface sand, ground rock)

The size will get specified by how far You travel in the world...I do "only" the configs, no world rendering.
(But if You wish, I can do this too with "WorldGenerationControl_v2.6" ... it will only be much hard to transfer/upload.)

Best regard
mysource

Hey mysource, I was wondering if you can do this request for me, it is a bit tough request I think.

A generate config for a skyworld with floating island roughly 100x100 - 200x200 size!
