  • In menu preset customization with real time 2d and 3d previews of terrain results
  • Custom world heights, depths, ocean levels, cave properties, continent scales, biome properties, temperature controls, snowline transitions, river properties, lake properties, wetland properties, erosion controls, island customization and much, much more.

  • Numerous stability, performance and bugfixes over all historic releases.
