Alternate Terrain Generation Mod for Minecraft 1.7.10

-

For those who are no longer interested in Minecraft vanilla terrain, Alternate Terrain Generation Mod may be a great choice. What exactly this mod does is that it changes the world looks. Normally, there is no sign of rolling terrain or peculiar biome positioning. However, with this mod installed, players will have a chance to experience a much more realistic Minecraft world.

What makes this mod stand out is its new method of creating the world of the game. The Alternate Terrain Generation Mod introduces a new Minecraft world type. The height, moisture, and temperature will be created first, then comes the final biome designed based on these conditions. And as a result, players will have a chance to experience a smoother terrain and biomes variation. Mountainous terrain now comes with neat variation. There are steeper mountains, rivers, and streams. Players may also come across bushes, fields of shrubland, swampy coastlines, volcanoes, and dynamic villages. The degree of verticality in this mod is also one of the most highlighted point.

This mod also allows players to implement different kinds of biomes from different mods into the world of Minecraft by a config file yet still doesn’t cause any significant lag. However, the downside is that it is not compatible with Better World Generation Mod. So don’t try to run these two together. Overall, the Alternate Terrain Generation Mod is an ideal choice for Minecraft players who are looking for a new world type.

Alternate Terrain Generation Mod for Minecraft 1.7.10 Changelogs

  • Fixed flipped x/z coordinates in biome top-block replacement, fixing Mega Taiga, Mesa, etc.
  • Added a fix for a vanilla/forge bug which makes villages check the wrong location for acceptable biomes. No more villages in the ocean unless you allow them with BoP or other such mods. Villages should now respect the per-biome settings of other mods.
  • Added an additional field per biome in biome-modifiers.cfg to disable village generation in specific biomes. This does not force their generation in biomes which would not normally support them, just prevents them generating if they normally would have.
  • No API changes, use API archive from 0.11.0.
