Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation

I've finaly updated my MCServer, but I now find allot of these pointy and straight biome borders:

In-Game pictures:

You can see it really good in tools like minutor:

Which biome generator are you using? It almost looks like simple Voronoi.

I think you might have set your distortion amplitudes and / or frequencies wrong. Remove them and let the generator fill in the defaults for you, it should get better.

I've been working on a new biome generator for two days. I've got a few that even have beaches next to oceans, but neither works well with the rest of the biomes... Writing generators is tough.

I'm using the TwoLevel biome generator

I'll try that, but I didn't change those values to begin with.

Okay it worked Smile

Still weird, because I didn't change any of them.

By new biome generator you mean improving the old ones, right? Are these the 1.7 biomes you're working on?

@tigerw I was actually trying out several other implementations, but none of them works too well, so I guess I'll stick with TwoLevel and make it work better.

@STR_Warrior: Give QtBiomeVisualiser a try, it will make setting biomegen parameters really easy - you can see live what the changes you're making will do to the biomes.

Keep going in that direction only, for 3 or 4 blocks diagonally (1 step in the direction with 1 step in Y++), then place the top.

Looks good

Someone has the same trouble im having with world generation?
