World generator indefinitely on hold due to all the changes in 1.13, Waiting for Worldedit, FAWE and ProtocolLib to update to the new format Mar 3, 2018

  I hope you get the time and manage to revive your worldgen, it seems incredible, thanks for all your posts about world generation, they helped too :) Good luck!

  If the world generation plugin is going to be recreated anyway, would you mind sharing the code by open-sourcing?
  Someone like me or I guess many others would like to move it forward maybe(via forking, no need for you to maintain it or accept PRs).

    It is extremely complex and not in a fully functional state, in fact it is likely completely unusable on any version after 1.11, as it uses the old chunk format.

    Still, I'd love to mess around with the source if you don't mind sharing.

  Any updates on your world gen? :)

    Permanently shelved at this point, unfortunately. I intend to eventually re-create it in a much more stable form, once my current projects are done. That could be a year away.

  Any news about your world generator? From what I know both FAWE and ProtocolLib are already updated to 1.13.

    I am working on some other things, but i still plan to finish it. FAWE is not updated, at least not the components i need.
    
    I am going to write my own more streamlined library to handle offline chunks, i cant rely on third-party software.

  So yo I was wondering what you think of this:
  
  I make a 2d array of ints, and they have a 25% chance to go 1 up, stay the same, or go down 1, while having a 12.5% chance to go up 2 or down two. Max height is 200 and lowest is -50, while it starts at 75.

    Same thing but every 4th, and then same thing but every 8th.
    
    Then, I add to each value on the original map a half of the second, a quarter of the third map, and an eighth of th 4th map.
    
    Then a place blocks accordingly

    and i'm like 2 and cant comprehend 3d maps so im just doing this

    Are you trying to make a terrain generator?
    
    If you want anything that is not awful, you need to use noise generators - they basically do what you did, but they give smooth cloud or blob-like transitions between high and low points instead of random spikes.
    
    I use a bunch of layered 2D maps, and some undersampled 3D maps for final details (a 3D chunk noisemap is 256 times as expensive as 2D, use it wisely!)

    How much impact do you expect?
    
    Mar 13, 2018
  3. FlyingLlama
    Nonfunctional.
    
    It relies completely on FAWE to get anything remotely resembling real-time performance, without that it slows down to be as bad as the vanilla generator, worse once trees/structures are involved.
    
    I also need to implement offline chunk edits to solve some weird bugs, and i cant do that with every mca editor broken.

  Hey Llama, I've heard you know a thing or two about world generation. I had some (hopefully basic) questions about it, could I ask some questions via Discord?

    I don't know too much about that sort of stuff, but I do really enjoy learning what I've learned and learning more. I'll check out some stuff on noise generation online to get a better idea of that before I post anything, though.
    
    Feb 18, 2018
  4. FlyingLlama
    Most of the stuff you will find online is very basic, lots of people cover it for procedural generation, but it rarely goes beyond pathetic 2D heightmaps. I can teach you some tricks and ways to combine noise eventually, if you want.

    I'll probably go with 2D noise for awhile, but I'd definitely love to learn 3D sometime when I've got 2D and just the NMS stuff in general down. I'm generating "planets", so basically each world is a random biome with custom generators for each planet. I don't mind it being basic for now, but it would be pretty cool to make it more advanced later on.

  Considering smooth seasons: snow/plants ect change per block, full change over 14(?) day cycles. More natural-looking.

  Planning generator additions now, like a volcanism map for the world: adds volcano biomes, sea vents, fixes water/lava confusion in caves.

  Update: min version for generator will be 1.13, cave_air block is going to fix a lot of bugs with rivers/seasons, new water also important.

  I just figured out that i can use Julia/Mandelbrot Fractals as efficient world generator maps, including them in the final generator.

    A properly scaled Julia set combined with other maps will not - config file will allow mixing different generators for each type of map.

    Oh, so reasonably cheap pseudo randomness. Nice.

    It is a lot more expensive than most forms of noise, just more interesting. The generator is already far faster than the vanilla one, due to removing a lot of 3D noise.

  World Generator work is still ongoing. A few new features: multiple biomes per column, realistic weather patterns.

    I have been reading most of your posts regarding this new plugin and I must say it sounds quite promising. Are there any news about it? Stuff to do, numbers of headaches remaining till release date, $JokeAboutEWGSchematicsTrees, etc?
    
    Feb 13, 2018
  3. FlyingLlama
    Lots of headaches i cant deal with now, mostly related to native code and compression and some complicated math. I need to optimize generator performance more (the goal is lighter than a vanilla server without sacrificing anything)
    
    Feb 13, 2018
  4. Atrelyu
    Sounds very interesting! "lighter than a vanilla server" is certainly a very healthy and nice goal. It clearly seems that it will not be ready in the near future, is such a shame to have to wait so much. I still wish you the best with those headaches and will keep track of this project progress :)

  Hi, wanted to ask if you could develop plugins im willing to pay 100$ around for a plugin just like CBWrapper since that is outdated and doesnt work. Pm if interested

    It is not so buggy anymore, quite close to being finished.

    You've been working on it for a year, and you are probably one of the most talented Java developer's that I have talked with, I can't wait for the project to be released.

  Fully parallel world generation is now functional - it go fast zoom. Working on optimizing it now for even more fast.

  World generator is still in progress. Building a new computer soon and then i will get back to it, needs a cleaner base generator, then beta
