After this mod is installed, when creating a new world, you will see this screen:
Each world can have a different world generator. The mod comes with three world generators, but you can easily install more.
I created this mod because I've seen a fair amount of external tools that do very cool things with terrain. The problem with these tools is that if you travel too far in one direction, the world goes back to what it looks like normally. With this mod, terrain will generate infinitely, like it should in Minecraft.
Old 1.7.3 Download
Download (regular)
Back up your worlds before installing. I'm not responsible for broken worlds.
This mod won't change how the nether is generated. The three world generators it comes with are:
- Default - exactly like the default world generator
- Sky - generates floating islands
- Nether - generates the regular world like the nether
Just drop the files into minecraft.jar. This mod does replace a few files, and is not compatible with any other mods that replace the same files. It is compatible with ModLoader (but does not require it) and most ModLoader mods.
To install new world generators, find/create a folder called mapgen in your Minecraft folder (.minecraft on Windows; it's the same folder that contains bin, resources, saves, etc.). You should download the world generators as either .zip files or .jar files. Place the file right into the mapgen folder without extracting it.
I made an installation video covering how to install both the mod and a separate world generator.
World Generators - Developed for 1.7.3, probably won't work
If you message me with a really good world generator, I'll add it here.
Silver_Weasel
Wasteland - Silver_Weasel's Wasteland mod. Completely new world generator; check out the link for details.
Hippoplatimus Flat - Generates a flat plane of stone with no ores or features of any kind. The bottom layer is bedrock. Useful for construction with the aid of inventory hacking.
Simple Winter - It's always winter. It snows everywhere, but only when it would normally rain.
Simple Desert - The world is one desert. Very difficult, because there are no trees.
Risugami's Biosphere Fix - Allows you to use Risugami's Biosphere in this mod. Read the readme! This download does not actually include Risugami's Biosphere!

Hardcore Survival Biomes - A collection of several world generators that are all based on the regular world generator. Contains: Frindly [sic], which prevents hostile mob spawning; Hell On Earth, which causes Zombie Pigmen and Ghasts to spawn in the regular world; and Last Days (with several biome options), which makes it always night-time.
