Mod Spotlight – Alternate Terrain Generation

Somebody said here and welcome back to Anam on spotlight this time looking at a terrain generation lot actually and that graph looks a little bit bland so back in the moment alright there we go yeah much better what’s greener ahem quark quark just to get the green they’re going because this

Is all about terrain generation it’s all about looking pretty and so yeah well back we’re looking at another train generation model you’ll be calling the batter looks at realistic terrain generation looked at the whole host of terrain generation mods and this one is literally of a kind of recording six

Days into beta arm one point tepid you know what this really cheered us back in them oh yeah very well were we took shaders because you know it’s a trend generation modest all about looks this is a model is all about lots of no new blocks in it we’d only talk about

Vanilla textures and things it’s all about looks so you’ll forgive most like on theta mutant of doing that stupid little intro there and we are here looking at alternate terrain generation by TT or generator by TTF t TFT to TFT cuts too many epson teeth and now i’ve

Been following this one for what seemed like a while on twitter raw actually been retweeting a lot of the histories on the the algorithms and the pains and the heartache he’s gone through just to get this this thing to work in a sensible and logical way and i’ve seen

Some of the abortive attempts at we have meta biomes with spikes of clay reaching build high but I think you’re getting pretty close and this is as I say so a released on beta in 1.10 six days ago out of time of recording so we will be 13 days ago at

The time you’re watching this but just look at this and this is one of the things that will straight after about here’s something I want to show you cliffs proper proper cliffs – just just cliffs how many times have you ever wanted just to have a cliff to build

Into a cliff face and and this is an absolutely stunning adaptation I mean the mountains here just go up the majestic that curve they’re not 30 blocks high some of these are significant numbers of blocks high the part c of the clouds are off or for that

But we are at a we are at 196 are only like at the top here we’re getting the 60 yard off of build height but get these beautiful valleys and just gorgeousness of the shape now I will would seriously recommend checking out the Twitter account for TTS teacups

Nifty better is it I’m going to double check that I’ll be back in a moment yeah TTFN tea cuts that’s what we’re doing that I really want to do a little check that because you know in flying you doing TTFN tea and then there’s a little niggling doubt in it TTFN TTFN

Sounds right and but yeah oh yeah villages the villages actually blend quite nicely into the landscape now he this was one of the problems that was experienced there was just well shut up sheep and even Mesa I mean this is probably the world’s smallest Mesa biome but it doesn’t matter because

Head down down the valley I mean just look at it clock I only wish this is will regret here for me with this particular model and that it is it took too long to come out and I’ve already started my long term mod pack series using realistic terrain generation from

Quark because I would have really loved to use this this mod this Bay is just incredible everything about this mod ed to me the the modification when you start to get into the actual training generation is beyond words sometimes you just look at it and go you know wild was another

Little mini matter over there little mini matter and I guess as we come down here we can see obviously we come down into flat areas apparently swamps were particularly difficult reading the tweets and yeah getting natural low-lying areas so hopefully we’ll find a spot now I have got just to be on the

Safe side I did put on this just so we can sit there and say well go and find me a there’s finally a find me a what should we go for my I don’t think the cold ones particularly well populated at the moment but we’ll go for a Mesa Mesa

I was going take me to that one isn’t it okay let’s try for a swamp then over that way apparently okay about 300 blocks so he’s not out far maybe one of the are those did I see it so yes once were were problematic by all accounts and even the sea look at

This this really nice gradual curve the very realistic curves that you would expect this is probably again on the world’s smallest once and I do know that the the biome maps and the maps themselves the biomes have mini buyers within them so there’s a chanting with a

Buyout for it to get mini by him the mathematical algorithms I will be absolutely honest with you I have no idea how anybody writes this kind of stuff you know that’s why I played out write it and I can fiddle around and tweak things but yeah I really really

Really like what dtft cos has done with this so far and from why understands the say the cold biomes need some work the there are a few other bits and pieces and issues but those are what’s one more little BB swamp how was coming in there so yeah this is pretty good so

I’m going to head over around this way and I’ll just try and find some interesting vistas or views to show you and I’ll be back with you in a moment once I found another – okay plus at the moment we’ve got what it’s about beautiful hill it’s just to

Help so I’ll see mo camel I actually have fortified the beauty of these terrain gen model is you don’t have to go far to find things so just come down here look at this just look at this view you’ve got a derp cliff around here moving in on either

Side the you can imagine combined with rivers and I think if I was going to suggest anything that TTFN cult should be looking at would be maybe River generation because this valley here would be an obvious if you were to follow this trail up up here and I don’t

Know how it would come probably from this kind of point and then we got deserts over here as well imagine a a spring or lake coming from here and then just flowing down and performing a natural River into that Valley which obviously would be the structure that

That kind of bland form would have generated from so rivers would be ideal addition to this and maybe the river a Duncan sure the rivers models update at one point 10 if I was going to have a gut feeling I would say Nova that’s based on no hard fact it’s not based on

Alternative facts which is a good thing but sorry political keep it down mas bottom line as a qualifier but I’ll ship over there but obviously on the desert this this is just I think that when you look at this look look they’re just coming up interview so

We’ve got a steep climb then we’re going to Hales and then a cliff bank straight off the bat and you know it is just majestic in its in its form just keeps on getting bigger and better now have to excuse the Guardians are killing squid

It’s what they do and then you come over here and you know I can’t get enough of not like this I love the way they change the terrain generation they give so much possibility for building just straight off the bat you know this is this is magnificent magnificent terrain

Generation so yeah for those of you who don’t like shaders I do apologize I just felt that something like this something that can actually transform the the world we know the love of Minecraft into something which is just so much more elegant and massive and you know looming

And I don’t know it just changes a lot of each other changes so much of the what we what we know and automatically perceive to be the fact about Minecraft ranging I would love to build this world and one day we will but not this certainly not with Sid modded life

Unfortunately but yeah this is it this is an alternative engine I’m trying to find a good mixer let me just go and just go for a and search for now come me yeah Mesa plateau would be good there we go why where are you taking me

1,200 that way I’ve been that way okay Michael feeling you know and I’m what’s that down there that might be what we’re looking for to you to do let’s just change the tile a little bit no that’s our last mini matter Mesa all right we’ll hang back a tree where we started

Out with does ring about yeah anyway so alternative terrain generation by tiki of course it is absolutely gorgeous and the K generation seems from what from the face of it to be normal pretty much what you would expect can’t say that I’ve had a really good route

Around in the caving situation but the caves look extensive they certainly don’t look like they’ve been cheap cheap or broken up too much we were words words really but just don’t do this place just as I don’t think is utterly utterly gorgeous and yeah you should

Check it out so doing the light of checking it out as per usual or the details are in the description links to the Marvel this is one point ten over eight at this moment but I believe one point two eleven is imminent anything else we need to say no I don’t think so

I think I think the visual speak for the cells really it’s breathtaking wow that’s a big hill so until next time anyway let me see Jack adjust it ran and fly around in here for hours thank you very much for watching guys and in all seriousness do check this one

Out because it’s being a major league thing will pull try remember to put the link to TGIF gots Twitter account in there as well just so you can see some of the some of the less successful attempts we had well he had I should say

That we have like of us very royal weird in it less successful attempts we had getting saw these shapes and stuff built but until then thanks for watching and I’ll see you soon and bye for now
