Provides heavily customizable and feature rich overworld terrain generation options in a compatible and approachable way.
Supports both Neoforge and Fabric mod loaders.
Features
- Fine grained, end to end control over the terrain shape of the vanilla overworld.
- Powerful preset system to reliably reproduce terrain results. Customize the generation to exactly how you want it to match your own play style
- Ships with default presets for those who want to just click and go.
- In menu preset customization with real time 2d and 3d previews of terrain results
- Custom world heights, depths, ocean levels, cave properties, continent scales, biome properties, temperature controls, snowline transitions, river properties, lake properties, wetland properties, erosion controls, island customization and much, much more.
- 3D rivers that flow towards the sea including waterfalls and lakes
- Numerous stability, performance and bugfixes over all historic releases.
- New river canyon generation system so you get beautiful river valleys and cohesive terraced mountains not V shaped slot canyons
- New fully customizable island generation system
- 3D live preview showing real time impact of preset value changes
- Spawn point control by selecting embark location on preview menu
- Built respecting the historic origins and love that many people have for TF and all its variants. The fork has been picked up by the wider TF community who now largely drive its ongoing direction.
