About this project

What does Continents and Isles add?

A Minecraft NeoForge 1.21.1 world generation mod that creates a single vast supercontinent with coastlines and beaches, surrounded by scattered islands in the outer ocean.

Note: After updating, delete the old config file to let it regenerate. Any config changes require creating a new world to take effect.

Features

  • Single supercontinent with configurable radius (default ~4250 blocks), coastlines and beaches.
  • Six themed sectors: Snowy Plains, Mountains, Jungle, Savanna, Desert, and Archipelago.
  • WiFi-shaped mountain sector with concentric arc ridges rising toward the encircling ring mountain belt.
  • Ring mountain belt with randomly placed ore veins (diamond, gold, redstone, iron, copper, coal, lapis).
  • Three great lakes: East Lake (island lake), Mountain Lake (deep lake, 50% chance of Tianchi ring effect), and a random sector lake that can appear in any sector except Mountains and Archipelago.
  • Archipelago sector with wetland and beach bands; inner-sea islands pushed outward and sector range expanded, inner-sea outward warping removed. Guaranteed Mushroom Island, deep ocean preserved around ocean monuments, and witch huts guaranteed in wetland bands.
  • Guaranteed structures: desert temples, woodland mansions, ocean monuments.
  • Fully configurable via config file: continent radius, sector biomes and ratios, lake toggles, plus new biome_rules for fine-tuned biome placement — blacklist or only-allow across the supercontinent, outer islands, ring mountain belt, each of the six sectors, and inner Archipelago islands independently. A biome can be whitelisted in multiple regions to restrict it to their union.
  • Modded biome support: roughly 12% chance to mix in biomes from other mods.

Planned Updates

  • Hard cliff and reef transitions along both sides of the Archipelago sector.
  • Blended transition zones between neighboring sectors to replace sharp biome borders.
  • Desert sector: rivers and lakes removed (random sector lakes exempt), replaced by scattered oasis areas.
  • Ring mountain belt and mountain sector redesign—specific details still being considered.
  • Refined logic for modded biome placement across the world.

Compatibility

  • Lightly tested with several popular biome and structure mods; no conflicts found so far.
  • When "When Dungeons Arise" is installed, a structure always generates at the spawn point. I have not fixed this issue.
  • Other biome mods have not been exhaustively tested; unknown if any biomes or structures fail to generate.
  • Single-biome islands (including underground biomes) should be compatible with most biome generation mods.

Note: This mod was entirely made by AI. The current version largely meets the author's needs; future updates depend on circumstances. If you have ideas or suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments.


一个 Minecraft NeoForge 1.21.1 世界生成模组,生成单一超大陆与外围群岛。

注意: 更新模组后请删除旧版配置文件以重新生成。修改配置后需重新创建世界方可生效。

功能特性

  • 单一超大陆,半径可配置(默认约 4250 格),拥有不太自然的海岸线与沙滩。
  • 六大扇区:雪原、山脉、丛林、热带草原、沙漠、群岛。
  • WiFi 形山脉扇区,同心弧状山脊与峡谷交错,越靠近环山带越高。
  • 环山带环绕整片大陆,随机分布钻石、金、红石、铁、铜、煤、青金石矿脉。
  • 三大湖泊:东湖(岛湖)、山湖(深湖,50% 概率出现天池环形效果)、以及可在除山脉与群岛外任意扇区随机出现的群系湖泊。
  • 群岛扇区新增湿地带与沙滩带;内海岛屿位置向外偏移,扇区范围扩大,移除内海对外的扭曲效果;必定生成蘑菇岛,海洋神殿周围保留深海区;湿地带固定生成女巫小屋。
  • 必生结构:沙漠神殿、林地府邸、海洋神殿。
  • 完全可配置:大陆半径、扇区主副群系及比例、湖泊开关等均可调整;新增 biome_rules 群系规则,可对超大陆、外海群岛、环山带、六大扇区及群岛内岛分别设置黑名单或白名单,同一群系可写入多个「只允许」列表以限定在多个区域的组合中出现。
  • 模组群系支持:安装其他群系模组时约 12% 概率混入。

预计下次更新

  • 群岛扇区两侧将加入悬崖与礁石过渡带。
  • 各扇区之间计划设计自然过渡区域,告别生硬的群系切换。
  • 沙漠扇区将移除河流与湖泊(随机群系湖泊除外),增加散落的绿洲。
  • 环山带与山脉扇区将进行重构,具体方案仍在构思中。
  • 规划不同模组群系的生成逻辑。

兼容性

  • 已简单测试过数个热门群系和结构生成模组,暂未发现冲突。
  • 加入「地牢浮现之时」(When Dungeons Arise)后,必定会在出生点生成一个结构。这个问题我目前没有解决。
  • 尚未精细测试各类群系模组,暂不了解是否存在群系或结构无法生成的情况。
  • 内海群岛与外海岛屿均为单一群系岛屿(含地下群系),理应兼容大部分群系生成模组。

说明:本模组完全由 AI 制作。当前版本已基本满足需求,后续是否更新视情况而定。如果你有好的想法和建议,欢迎在评论区中留言。
