We do village generation in C++ code, with bits written in Lua.
This guy does it in Minecraft's Command blocks :-O

I've gotta check out the commands

Wow that's awesome! :O
RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 12-15-2014
That's some really clever coding there. And it just shows that command blocks will need a lot of work in MCS in the future.

I changed the amplitude from 0.5 to 1.4 just to see what it does, and it now looks like this:

RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 12-15-2014
So now you should make the logical step - change the amplitude based on a smooth noise function

I just tried that, but I'm not super happy about that. The islands are really messy this way.

Make sure your amplitude noise is right - that it has the right frequency and amplitude itself. You want a low-frequency noise with output values in range [0.5, 1.5], so if you were using cPerlinNoise, you'd use something like:
noise.AddOctave(0.01, 0.3); noise.AddOctave(0.02, 0.15); noise.AddOctave(0.04, 0.05); // Sum of second params should be 0.5, // then noise generates values in range [-0.5, +0.5] ... value = 1 + noise.GetValue(x, z);

I have no idea how I could use that with the noise I'm using
I didn't write the noise code here.

The Japanese villages look just lovely in the Overviewer: http://minecraft.planetx.com/#/-1561/64/1995/-1/1/0
RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - NiLSPACE - 01-23-2015
Yeah you're right
I'm wondering how the alchemist villages look like. Although I think that the Japanese villages look better.Found one: http://minecraft.planetx.com/#/3203/64/649/-1/1/0
