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.

- Custom biomes
- Many options for caves, canyons

...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.

I would like to know if this is for single player. I like making my own maps and i would like to use this, but i cant seem to find a signle player download link. :(
Please help!
Hi there,
I am having a major issue on my server maps, terrain wont generate after 4k, after that its all open ocean. I installed this as it is meant to over ride the vanilla configs but when i run the server, while it generates the TerrcainControl file in the server directory, there are no files generated inside it.
I have my server.properties set from DEFAULT to TerrainControl but other then making the directory nothing happens.
Im running FTB Mindcrack V8 so not sure if its a compatability issue with extra biomes. If it is, is there a fix to get over the vanilla land generation bug? 200+ maps and none have land at 7k radius from spawn point.
Looks sweet! Definitely going to download!
This is awesome, I'm going to download it.
I've used this mod before in SSP and it has worked fine. Now, when I try to use it, the "Terrain Control" will not appear in the "World Type" button D=
The Psychedelic Goat
I know! Im having issues too. Ive never used it before, but I follow the directions exactly all I get is a crash report. It must be something to do with the newest update.
What texture pack is this?
Someone needs to do a video tutorial on how to use the SSP version.
the tutorial linked shows how to use this on a bukkit server, but it makes very little sense regardless.
This is the SEXIEST plugin i have ever seen :'D
hi
Does anybody understand how to use this, I've found the wiki page on it but I understand it very little. Could somebody help me set it up on a server please.
Yes, I understand it :)
