Tropic
Tropic
is a wgen plugin i was working for some time now and with the new jungle biomes being out i decided to complete it. So what does Tropic do? Well it generates a world that is fully covered with a thick rainforest. The Terrain has some nice hills/beaches, but also pretty high mountains. The Generator features a lot of unique BlockPopulators for a individual look:
- 3 Different, fully custom tree types featuring generated world-trees
- Lakes and small creeks
- "Glowshrooms"
- Bushes and all other foliage that can be found in minecraft
- All ores/lava/gravel/etc you need
- Custom caves

Also thanks alot to @codename_B for allowing me to use his BlockPopulators.
And as always, feedback and suggestions are always welcome, hope you like it.
1.2.3-R0.2 is required, this plugin won't work with earlier craftbukkit versions!
WARNING:
As the structures that are generated by this plugin are pretty huge and the bukkit server doesn't really support multi threading for wgens, the generation is pretty slow. Also i had to split the population of the chucks into two steps, otherwise the server would crash. This results in you seenig only the base terrain after world creation, the foliage is generated later. I hope to fix this in future releases, but for now you should know that you shouldn't run this plugin on a large live server while people are playing. Use a plugin like Worldborder.

HOW TO USE WITH A MULTIWORLD MANAGER
For Pinapp see: Link
For Multiverse see: Link
For My Worlds see: Link
The tutorials above were written for my other wgen plugin nordic, but it works the same way for Tropic
Any others multiworld manager that supports generators should provide information on how to do it. Everything you need from Nordic apart from the .jar file is the Generatorname, which is Tropic
bukkit.yml
you have to add the following to your bukkit.yml file if you aren't using pinapp or a similar plugin:
worlds: yourworldname: generator: Tropic
my problem is: every time i start the generator and letting him create a nw world with multiverse, it goes to 30/40% and then the server crashes, when i enter the world after reloading the server, there is only a few chunks generated like Tropic, but the other chunks are just llike usual.
Aww. I wish you could update this :/ This really looks like an amazing plugin. I reeeeeeaaaally want to use this for my multiworld survival server.
hi everyone, i tried to update tropic today, but sadly i have to say that i don't think that it would be possible to make it work again without putting a shitton of work into it. The workaround i used on the block populators doesn't seem to work anymore and the results are java.lang.OutOfMemoryError and other funny stuff. Thanks for ur interest and all the nice comments, but i think thats it for tropic :/
Looks epic wish this was updated
@Shad0wSpl1c3r
I got around this by generating a map on an old server, transferring it over then using world border to stop terrain generation. It's not ideal but it it means you can keep using the awesome terrain this plugin generates.
@proEndreeper
Any luck? I'm really against updating my server without this plugin D:
doesnt work with 1.6.2 guys
I'm going to try updating this plugin, not sure if I'll be able to, https://github.com/proEndreeper/Tropic
Would it be possible to update this? Just so that it runs on the current version of bukkit (1.5.2). I find my server crashes when I try to generate a world. I've gotten round it by using an old server to generate the map, but I would like the world to be expandable as at the moment I've had to make it finite.
It's still an amazing wgen.
Please Update !>>
Any chance at all of continuation?
@pengh
Same. Either the world is way to big, or the plugin doesn't work... :/
Really hoping to see an update to this, when I try to run it on 1.4.5 it says complete but locks the server completely, on reboot it begins and completes again and locks, had to remove it from MV to be able to run the server.
like the idea just a few questions: 1. can you grow the huge trees? (like with a single sapling) 2. can you grow the "glowshrooms? (with bonemeal and a small mushroom) (i like this idea a lot) 3. Are there small glowshrooms? 4. Are there other biomes throughout the world??? 5. Can you grow other trees in the tropic world?
Thanks!!!
Umm... Update?
I demand you update now! nah, take as long as you need to have less bugs.
Please update, no longer works.
hello this is a great mod you might need to work on the ore distribution though
