Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation

[NiLSPACE]

We should have mesa mountains:

Is that MCS? That looks awesome!

[NiLSPACE]

Yea That's MCServer A Extreme hills generated next to a mesa and gave this as a result.

[NiLSPACE]

We should make the village flooring to go through water

Also, Maybe we should make the generator check if the biome is compatible with villages before placing a piece. Or would that cause the same thing as what happens with trees sometimes?

About the "Mesa Mountains" - Mesas are pretty dry, and are found in arid environments. It's sortof strange to see one bordering on a rainforest.

[NiLSPACE]

I don't see what that has to do with the Mesa Mountains?

[tigerw]

Okay, Mesa then.

This dungeon generated perfectly:
   

[xoft]

Ini, seed, coords?

I guess the generator should check if there's water, at least in the room's center, and refrain from generating a dungeon at such places; that will, however, make the generation quite a bit slower.

Also pretty funny with this seed is that at spawn if you go down the well (village at spawn) you get into a huge ravine.

Maybe you shouldn't make it check if there isn't water but rather let it check if the block is stone because we now get flying chests/spawners in ravines.
