New Biomes/worldgen/change in current biomes which you would like to see

[the_j485]

Hey guys, so I have a question: what new biomes would you like to see?
This is not a thread for modder-begging, just sharing ideas.
Personally, I would love for jungles and forests and such to have little clearings, and to have an english common.

I would love for an abandoned village type of theme, or for an abandoned laboratory.


I've always loved heights in Minecraft, and most mods don't fulfill the same effect you get from looking at the grand canyon or the Eiffel tower.

Some giant canyons would be nice (800+ blocks tall), or a crater from a meteor delving 100 blocks into the ground.

Having watched some Mindcrack videos, the new world generation does look refreshing (I'm sure Mojang had changed some aspects of it, right?)

I'd probably say more populated areas. I'm not talking about increasing the quantity of villages but an abandoned village. The village has to be larger than the current configuration. It doesn't have to contain anything - just aesthetically pleasing and different. Vanilla, for me, has stagnated and so I'm now playing FTB. The machines are bringing a new type of entertainment. But something different to the world generation would be nice. I can't think of anything right now.

Yes, because sky limit would allow said canyons, definitely...

I saw a video where somebody built a dirt pillar up to Y 1400.

So I'm pretty sure the world gen can do it too.


He did have to use a mod, however. The normal height limit in the server.properties file doesn't let you increase the height limit, it just lets you decrease it.

I suppose, but I think it would be cool if it was just like a ravine, but longer, wider, splitting, and with a river in the middle.

Cubic chunks

Wait, that's old. Hmm.

 

[the_j485]

Cubic chunks

FUCK. YES.

Why has nobody ever thought of this before?

 

[Poppycocks]

Oh people did, Mojang even shortly considered it.

The problem is that... Hm, actually filling said chunks with terrain would be a task for the NASA supercomputer.

Ah alright. What biomes would you like to have?

 

[PeggleFrank]

I believe the mod was actually a bit more than that.

It changed the world gen. There was a 400 block high cliff where he was doing the mod spotlight.

So it may have improved, as well as possibly having taken a different name and/or shape.

 

[Fuzzlewhumper]

I'd like to give biospheres a go but it's not a forge thing, it's one of those mods that goes into minecraft.jar I think. Too bad mystcraft cant do those or maybe dimension doors as an alternate to the all black theme.

 

[Poppycocks]

Hm, I'd rather if what we already have was detailed better. For example, I'd really love it if someone took the time to generate basins under waterfalls. (which would be a lot of work, mind) A sanity check for villages would be neat, so that they don't live in skyscrapers which they can't leave, or don't have their village fully lit or defended in any way. New details, like animals paths, clearings, rocky outcrops, natural bridges over chasms/rivers.

That kinda stuff.

A more realistic approach to water dynamics would sweet as well, real rivers, fed by streams, decreasing in elevation - etc. Anyone who'd try to do that is a masochist, but man would I love it.

Finite liquids has done that. I'm not sure if it's updated, though. It makes water much more fun, being able to set up gutters to catch water that's coming off your roof.


They should re-implement the world gen options from back in indev. You know, floating islands, rivers, those world gen options that I've forgotten about because I haven't played indev for ages. They were quite interesting.

That's all you need to know.

I don't really care about new world gen, but if redwood from EXBL could be edited so that it has a longer range for sustaining leave the redwood biomes wouldn't be so damn laggy.
