About this project

What does VanillaPlus WorldGen add?

VanillaPlus WorldGen

 

Overhauls the vanilla world generation to a much more realistic and smoother one while maintaining the vanilla landform diversity.

Compatible with 1.18 and above. It doesn't change the ore or structure generation, so it should be compatible with every mod.

Not compatible with other landform mods! (Like Plains and Valleys)

1.20 and 1.21 comatibility support!

 

I've rewritten the whole surface world generation, I modified all of the vanilla landforms. This mod, unlike others, maintains the vanilla landform variety; it only increases the flat areas a bit.

 

-It fixes most of the noisy, shattered vanilla worldgen.

-Worlds are gradual and smooth, diverse and balanced.

-Balanced lake, swamp (with plenty of reed and plants), flatland, elevated flatlands, mountains, glaciers, hills, hills with caverns, etc. generation. I maintained the high variation rate between these.

-Much easier to build and terraform to these worlds.

-Should be compatible with all mods (except similar worldgen mods), it only modifies the landforms.json file. Sturcture generation mods are supported.

 

If you use 382 and higher world heights, I recommend to use higher landform scale than 100%. (With vanilla worldgen the worlds are really noisy and filled with floating objects at these world heights. It shouldn't be the case with this mod.)

I also recommend avoiding using oceans, since there are planty of water already in the generated map, similar to vanilla.

 

Perfectly optimised for 320 world height without oceans and 100 120-140% landform scale. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, if you increase the world height, you should adjust the landform scale a bit; without it, mountains will become too steep and sharp, this is how the game works. :/

Updating this mod to a newer version should not cause any issues even with existing saves, the updates contain only minor corrections and improvements to different landforms to make them better.

This mod is save-game compatible, however newly generated chunks will be different if you add this mod mid-game.

 

 

Feel free to suggest ideas for future versions, I want to make the vanilla worldgen as good as possible.
