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.

@Tejay If you want regen only some chunks with another settings - where will be ugly borders between old and new. If you mean regen - all - so it is like create new world.

Hi,
I renamed first the server world from world in world1 ... but still the same error..
... and then the MC saves /TC world too in world1 ... even still the same error.
Take You time to find it out, I´ve to quit now and have to work in "real life" ;-)
(It´s just to see to get it run, I won´t use it anyway now because I see no big sens for myself in playing a singleplayer game at all)
I still didn´t get a single answer if anybody else is having this error...or if anyone else is using this new versions at all ????
I can´t understand the people...:-O

Server log was only why You`ve said, that bukkit wouldn´t didn´t give this
...but I definitely use bukkit, in its last recomended version now, without positive effect :-(

It has to be "offline", I use hamachi or no-ip tunnel to run my server.
This is absolutly no problem and works top like the use to run everythuing from a "portable" folder (Server + MC)
(I host my server at my PC, not in the web for sure)
UPDATE: I tried it now too with
CraftBukkit version git-Bukkit-1.1-R3-b1846jnks (MC: 1.1)
...but exactly the same errors.

Please look here: TUTORIAL
CustomBiomes:DesertHills ...wrong
This isn´t a custom biome, it´s default.
NormalBiomes is the line to put in which biomes should be created.
If You use customBiomes, You first have to put a name in there and add this to normalBiome too...and restart the server to let it create.
(More is to find in the Tutorial)
Should help much avoid such problems....;-)
Best is,try to start with the configs in my tutorial. (a Download is there too)
Then adjust thist to Your needs.
But please read always the explanations to every line, to avoid this problems again.

Posted Feb 2, 2012GAH, i cant seem to get the terrain gernerator to work for me.
I configure it to ONLY use a custom terrain generator (Desert Hills) like so:
CustomBiomes:DesertHills
ALL the other configurations have no biomes in their option, so there is no configuration for it to use any other biome but that one.
Then I generate the world fine, teleport to it, and its just soem random islands and I use /tc biome
and it tells me im in an OCEAN biome?!?! WTF
Wow....

No, it only works in singleplayer then, yes.
I tested right now and the fog colour changed every time I change it...tried red, yellow, blue...all worked very well in singleplayer MC 1.1 with TC 2.0.0 Mod in...but not if connected to the server. You are right.
@ ALL: As a little complaint from my side about not getting anwered my question regarding if others have this "problem" too...or let me ask now different:
Has someone got TC 2.0.0 togehter with TC (server) 2.0.1 running without errors???
A big YES.
Only if I use TC v14, all works as descriped before.
But with the use of TC v 2.0.1, it gives me only this error, even if everything at default...
Now I even tried with a brand new downloaded MC 1.1, only Meta.inf deleted and TC 2.0.0 in.
Server without any Plugins, only TC v 2.0.1 in.
Now no error, but same behavior of all: Timeout.... nothing. MC hangs with black screen and quits after some time.
Server tells no errors, just that it wants have the config for world:

5)
09:17:10 [INFO] TerrainControl: client config requested for world bigfour_world
//
....I see no solution and wait for some ideas ... but I´m by far no noob any more ...;-(
I can´t belive that I´m the only one with this problem....standart MC, standart TC...no Mods in both, nothing changed from default...
I would say, this isn´t able to work at all.
