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.
Features
- Control horizontal and vertical noise of terrain generation
- Control terrain height and volatility per biome
- Generating biome maps from images
- Control the size of biomes, islands and continents
- Custom biomes
- Many options for caves, canyons
- Control vanilla structures like mineshafts, strongholds and villages
- Full control of ores, plants, dungeons, ponds and many more
- Custom trees and other objects (BO2 and BO3)
- Block replacement
- Visual settings like custom foliage colors (TerrainControl client required)
...and many more!

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.

xouxoux Mar 20, 2013 at 20:39 UTC - 2 likesHi everybody,
i want to show you another french map created with TerrainControl (100%).
Dynmap (it's work now) ( 5 months of work for 2 guys, 40 hours to generate it, map size : 13000x256x13000)
This map was created with some customs blocks included in the generation for the minecraft server Volunthar.com (actually in closed alpha, but you can see the result in game with our launcher, visitors have access to warp commands)
Thanks a lot for this great plugin !
It isn't perfect, but we have learnt basics of the plugin with mysource's tutorials and now try to applicate it.
Danke schön

Lots and lots of manual configuration. :) Mysource also uses an image which is used by Terrain Control to read the biomes from. He's really an expert, but I'm sure that if you read the tutorials, you can also make something nice.
I'm not a native English speaker, I'm Dutch. I'm always trying to improve my English. If you see any mistakes in this post or signature, please say it!
I'm the developer of BetterEnderChest, a plugin that makes the Ender Chest much more configurable. I also made BO3Tools, a tool for developing BO3s for Khoorn's Terrain Control, one of my favourite plugins, to which I have also contributed in the past.
I'm quite busy with school at the moment, so plugin updates are slower and less tested.

Sorry, I'm new on TerrainControl here and it's hard for me to configure that kind of stuff.

mysource Feb 28, 2013 at 23:04 UTC - 0 likesHi,
I assume, you imagine this kind of world ... ;-) ... :
(Right-Click ... show image ... to see 100% size)
... and a partly dynmap overview:
Waterlevel 8, landmass all up till about 240 blocks, MC NetherFortresses and so on.
This biome(s) can be used to create a giant inland cavesystem too, if set in other (high) biomes and so on.
Ores might be set to everybodys demands very easy too.
Again just a few of the huge possibilities of TC.
Bye
Update:
Using lantoasters "fortress"-bo3´s (thanks lantoaster for that test-stuff), its posible to create an extreme edition of that task:
Water Level 39, Ocean ground at about 24, about 3 x more ores.
... and a yet extremer version, using my added planetoid.bo3:
.... and most extreme version:
(Right-Click ... show image ... to see 100% size)
... ;-)

Crunkatog Feb 28, 2013 at 20:36 UTC - 0 likesomg, come make a custom rpgcraft map for our server!
just a few questions...
what y-level is the pinched-in area below the main mass of the islands? If you enable mineshafts you could have the mineshafts connect some of the islands, at or just below this narrow undercut.
This might also work very well, as just a cliff-biome island type in a normal ocean. Have the sea level meet the undercut, plus a few metres above so that players can moor ships and build in the undercut area. Below the surface, either very deep ocean with a thin layer of mineral-rich solid land at perhaps y=1 to y=15; or ocean, all the way down to the Void.
