So...I thought I understood the grammar system of Mystcraft and starting writing my own custom ages. Some things, however, did not work as intended.
I wrote:
Plains Biome - Single Biome
Glass Block - No Seas - Standard World
Zero Length - Zenith - Normal Sun
Dungeons
Strongholds
Normal Stars
No Weather
(I don't have a Normal Lighting or Moon page so I left those unspecified)
The result: I got the single-biome world with eternal noon and no weather. Didn't spend enough time there to find dungeons. What I didn't find was the glass ground I was expecting (glass replacing stone and/or dirt in the terrain generation, as I've seen DW20 do with Endstone in his tutorial). Instead the terrain looked pretty much standard, only with small glass structures that looked like tendril stubs but different enough from actual tendrils to not be the same thing.
So what happened? This is version 0.10.12 of Mystcraft
Edit:
I think I've got the answer myself. Some materials are apparently not valid for terrain but only for structures. So I could have tendrils or spheres made of glass, but only stone, dirt, endstone or netherrack are valid as terrain blocks.
(BTW, I signed up on the Mystcraft forums to ask, but the activation email didn't arrive, and of course I can't contact the admins as they suggest to do if such a thing happens, because in order to do that I...need to be logged in. That jokes like this still happen...)
