Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation

[NiLSPACE]

i have now pm enabled and you are admin on my server. i will login on the server so you can tp to me. i will stand on the tree ok??

[NiLSPACE]

if you plant a sapling a tree from the old generator will grow :O

[xoft]

Yes. The new trees are only in the generator at this moment. But they are ready for being used for saplings as well.

[NiLSPACE]

and are you now finished with the new generator or are you doing some improvements?

[xoft]

There's still small foliage to do - grass, flowers, mushrooms. I'll only replicate what the original generator had, so it's gonna be fast.

[xoft]

I'd say the new generator is in a good shape now, I would consider merging it into the trunk. It does what the old generator did, plus a few extra things, and even seems a tiny bit faster (dunno how

[NiLSPACE]

but there won't be an nether in MC-Server yet?? :S

[xoft]

Not yet. Sorry. But it'd be much easier to add, and even to make it 256 blocks high instead of Notchian 128 blocks

[NiLSPACE]

would be fun to have an nether that is 256 blocks high
