Pre generate world
- Thread starter Shwat

You can use Chunk Loader Turtles, but that will take a while for them to travel as far as they need to and come back. You will be wanting to get rid of them before putting the server up if what you're using them for is pre-generating.
Temporarily set the config file where they don't need fuel.

Works pretty well, actually. I rather like this one. Now I just need to test if this works on mystcraft ages. 
Edit: 1000x1000 is rather small, tbh. My map has most of extreme biomes turned off (except redrock and wastelands. Redrock being the grey biome), but look at what's there (this is a 1000x1000).
Red Rock, taiga, desert, forest, swamp, wasteland, and maybe a jungle (I haven't actually looked over there yet). If you have all of extreme biomes...you're going to need to generate quite a bit of land to get most of them on the map without having to pre-generate. Unless you don't care and will use mystcraft for the biomes you can't find within 1000 blocks of spawn.

Yeah, as long as you have your FTB server set up correctly. Just need to edit the server path in the MinecraftLandGenerator.conf so it goes to your worlds server. Make sure the name of your world is "world" and you should be fine. Also make sure that the "Run_MLG_Windows.cmd" adds the amount of land you want generated as well as -w and -a. The -w and -a make sure to ignore all the forge warnings.
Example:
It's a bit of a pain for single player, simply because it requires a server. But since most mods are universal, all you really need to do is add forge to the server jar and you're golden. Or use one of the server packs given by FTB. My world is a single player.
Also, you'll need to make sure your server jar is named "minecraft_server". So if you're using the FTB server pack, just rename it.
It took roughly 13 minutes to do a 1000x1000 for me. I have a laptop though, only 2GB ram. It really sucks...so it should go faster for everyone else. What makes it take so long is just the server start up, since it goes through all those warnings and notices and such.
Basically all this does is:
1. Start server
2. Generate Spawn
3. Save map
4. Stop server
5. Change spawn location
6. Repeat 1-5
Until everything is generated. Only, you know, automatically.
Example:
Code:
java -jar MinecraftLandGenerator.jar 1000 1000 -w -aIt's a bit of a pain for single player, simply because it requires a server.

would it not be this for 1000x1000 chunks?
Code:
java -jar MinecraftLandGenerator.jar 16000 16000 -w -aSo just a bit of an update. This still works provided you change the command correctly to load the ftb or whatever mod server. The downside is it takes bloody forever. I'm generating a 10,000 x 10,000 area for my Crack Pack server right now (technically ATL I know) and after running about an hour it's at 3% completed. That's on a ProLiant server with dual Xeon processors and 48 gigs of ram.
Can this work with pregen the SSP world? Since using minecraft land generator on SSP seems didn't work at all. I can't have both server and client running simultaneously. But I would like to pregen my worldShould have went with ProfMobious' ACT
