Hey folks,

I'm PeeGee and I've been working on custom terrain generation mods TerrainControl (TC) and Minecraft Worlds (MCW) for the past couple of years. MCPitman and LordSmellyPants are TerrainControl's foremost content creator and have made Biome Bundle, the biggest custom biome collection out there with over 450 different biomes and 2000 custom objects. A few months ago we decided to join forces to make a new version of TerrainControl, solving nearly all known bugs, mod compatibility issues, adding tons of usability stuff and lots of new features and customisation options. We aim to create a terrain generator that can be completely customised and can create any kind of world or dimension including procedurally generated trees, structures, ores, mobs, chests, villagers, bosses, you name it. Today we're proud to release the first version of OpenTerrainGenerator, 5 different pre-set worlds and a new version of Biome Bundle with lots of new biomes and improvements. Without further ado here's the official mod description, links and pics!

WTF is OTG?

Open Terrain Generator is an advanced world generator which allows you to generate any world you like without any knowledge of Java. OTG is a fork of Terrain Control that solves the instability and basic mod compatibility issues of Terrain Control while maintaining compatibility with its world packs and adding lots of new features and fixes. New things include Biome Dictionary support, a new in game UI allowing simpler single player world creation and multiple worlds with the same preset, a built in map pre-generator with in-game UI, mob inheritance (improves compatibility with mob mods) as well as the ability to spawn entities in structures.

Multi-worlds (dimensions) are also supported and it is possible to travel between OTG world packs via a quartz portal ignited with flint and steel (must have 'DimensionsEnabled: true' in main world's Worldconfig.ini). For more details on this feature and other more advanced features visit /r/openterraingen.

What do you mean, any world you like?

Here are some examples of custom presets (created using only OTG functionality):
