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.

Posted Mar 8, 2012Would it be possible for someone to put a 2.0.6 build on dropbox or something? I still can't get anything from github. I just need something that will place the bbobs in world as I don't (currently) use TC for making interesting terrain.

Hi,
sorry but I´ve got still no answer since my yesterdays Email to Olof regarding the TC.jar and many more questions.
I´ve got one already ready to use TC 2.1.0dev version for testing but no answer if I can share it here or even to tell about my experiences with it during testing.
So all I can tell and did tell is what can be read below in some postings, sorry but everybody will agree with me that I can´t give away somthing without permission by Khoorn or Olof.
The Link to the Repository works (sometimes not, I know, but not why...).
The files there are now 2 days old, same as I got.
I think if sombody compiles it, may work (mine I tried to compile for getting a little more trained with Java, didn´t. I`ve got always an error with the plugin.yml)
I think Olof and Khoorn are very bussy this time with many things.
So best is to wait till they post an official Link for a Dev Download hopefully.
As mentioned before too, the first impression by myself was a little to early entusiastic because now with further testing, some problems have been determined.
Mainly now the error with the ReplacedBlocks:2=80(118-128) as an example here.
Best regard
mysource
We will see and I belive, everything will be soon working very well.

Posted Mar 8, 2012Is there something strange going on with links to the TC github pages? Links are pointing to https://github.com/Wickth/TerrainControll instead of https://github.com/Wickth/TerrainControl and none of the dev builds seem available for download.
Just trying to get a copy of TC that'll run with CB 1.2.3-R0.1. I don't care about what happens above 128

Posted Mar 8, 2012Hey Khoorn -
Do you know what issue number in the Bukkit database relates to the bug you mentioned? I'd like to help push on this resolution with you. :)

All on the same page now!
Yep...this is why a totally acceptable short term solution is to get a build that does not GENERATE 256 height terrain, but runs on MC 1.2.3 and allows BUILDING up to that height.
Ideal is both, but I'm very happy to let Khoorn prioritize based on getting Bukkit to respond to their bugs.

Posted Mar 8, 2012@ ledhead900 (and @ all):
Hi,
ahh, now I understand what all are talking about the 256 height.
Yes, this will be true and in Custom height, the last values (0.0) works now nearly at half height, that´s right regarding the current world generation.
....
When it comes to the framerates ;-)
I use a powerful PC with SSD and so on.
Everything in MC is put to the max values and additional I set this in server.properties:
view-distance=15
I fly with 10x speed (Zombe) sometimes while testing and this will force even my machine often down to freeze for some seconds, if I render the world the same time and so on.
....but this is (only a little ;-) ...) "off topic"-stuff here (=> bigger, better, more...;-) ...)
Best regard

I think he means that generating a new world with 256 or near terrain is not possible due to the fact bukkit has not increased it for world generators yet so its a bug. I'm just waiting for that as I need that extra height to generate a world :). converting it would work fine but that wont fix the problem that we cant create a world taking advantage of this height increase.
@Dinastya
Lol same in fact in in 1.7 I had mine over 1500 on low detail but now its about 120-400 on max detail and Far View
