ATG not detected

[Ainiv]

Hello!

I have two questions regarding the Alternate Terrain Generation Mod.

 

1. I have the latest version from Minecraftexe's website, I have downloaded the file and copied it to the mods folder in the directory. Forge has not detected it at all. So what to do?

 

2. When I get it working, I plan to run around to generate a map that I would use on a vanilla server for fun. Will that work?

It worked in an older version.

Don't download mods from sites like Minecraftexe, these often host outdated and potentially malicious versions of mods. Only download mods from their official source, usually a Minecraft Forum thread or Curse project.

 

You can read more about this here.

 

You can find ATG's official Minecraft Forum thread here and Curse project here.

Probably not. ATG adds several of its own biomes, these would revert to vanilla plains biomes without the mod installed.

 

In addition, any new terrain generated would use the vanilla generator rather than the ATG one.

Well, it works now hosting via LAN & Hamachi, I don't mind the biomes not existing as long as the terrain is there. Thank you for the info!
