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.

Depending on what you want you could contact mysource, this is his homepage: http://kartwork.de/tutorial/html/contact.html He creates worlds in exchange for donations. Or you could also ask in the forums.

Posted Sep 26, 2012Is it possible for me to request a world generation for someone to make for me? If so that'd be great! I'm not to good with all the config editing.

Yes, along with a lot of his other posts. We should add that again on the page, it was a good idea to transfer that stuff in the forums.
@ALL: Support is in the FORUMS. Ask there and you'll get answers. Answering them here will only result in Chaos.

Posted Sep 18, 2012I started experimenting with panorama screens of my world, click here or the picture to see the whole thing. It's two 360°-panoramas quickly put together. Not the best quality but good enough for illustration.
Biomes (first appearance from left to right): Heathland, Cypress Hill, Plains, Mountains, Marshlands, Mixed Forest, Hills, Meadows (with the many flowers), Oak grove. Of course there are more than those biomes in my world but they are difficult to get on one picture.

Posted Aug 6, 2012Here is an example of a world we created using a .png image. This image is from screenshots viewing our dynamic map. The grey splotches are mountains exceeding 170 height, which is the point I configured TC to replace dirt with stone.
Here is a larger image, but too big to fit in this little chatbox: http://imgur.com/Vzg5G

Posted Jun 11, 2012Someone needs to do a video tutorial on how to use the SSP version.
the tutorial linked shows how to use this on a bukkit server, but it makes very little sense regardless.
