Simply, I want this:  world.provider = myCustomWorldProvider

 

 

 

So, there's tutorials a plenty on creating and registering a WorldGenerator. (

)

 

There's also a really nice one on creating Dimensions and WorldProvider's. (http://wuppy29.blogspot.com/2013/01/modding-146-custom-dimension-part-6.html)

 

But the only thing I can find which would actually allow me to see my WorldProvider in action is a mod that's not 1.8  (http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/226188-default-world-generator)

 

It really seems like there should be another way.  Any advice?

Do you want to change Overworld? It strongly depends on your purpose.

If you only have to change World Generation, Then you should make your own WorldType

 

So... What is your actual purpose?

My goal is to experiment with terrain generation.  I don't really mind how, though I do think having to make a portal to go see it is excessive.

 

I've created a basic ChunkProvider algorithm already.  Really, all I want is to see it.

So if what you want to do is just testing some custom terrain generation,

just create a dimension with your chunkprovider, and transfer the player to the dimension.

 

It would be the easiest way for your purpose.

Cool.  This mostly works.  The one thing I'm not fond of is generating the overworld first, and then being teleported on login, but I'm running, and that's good enough for me.

WEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Oh that seems to be pretty awesome.

What have you changed to achieve this? looks hilarious...

And why is there a nether portal?

I changed the chunk provider

It's two sine waves on the x and z axis.  And the nether portal appears whenever you change dimensions, I guess.

 

 

 

-++==========================++-

 

 

 

@Override

public Chunk provideChunk(int x, int z) {

 

ChunkPrimer chunkprimer = new ChunkPrimer();

 

IBlockState grass = Blocks.grass.getDefaultState();

IBlockState dirt = Blocks.dirt.getDefaultState();

IBlockState stone = Blocks.stone.getDefaultState();

IBlockState bedrock = Blocks.bedrock.getDefaultState();

IBlockState state;

 

for(int ix = 0; ix < 16; ++ix)  {

for(int iz = 0; iz < 16; ++iz)  {

int top = getHeight((x*16)+ix, (z*16)+iz);

chunkprimer.setBlockState(ix, top, iz, grass);

 

for(int depth=1; depth < top; ++depth)  {

if(depth < 10) {

state = dirt;  }

else {

state = stone;  }

chunkprimer.setBlockState(ix, top-depth, iz, state);

}

 

chunkprimer.setBlockState(ix, 0, iz, bedrock);

 

} }

 

Chunk chunk = new Chunk(this.m_world, chunkprimer, x, z);

return chunk;

}

 

 

private int getHeight(int x, int z) {

int xOff = (int) (Math.sin(0.1*(x))*7);

int zOff = (int) (Math.sin(0.07*(z))*10);

return xOff + zOff + 40;

}
