Private server / in game server Map generation

[The Batman]

Hey there,

Been away for quite some time now and starting a new server again. But seeing the in game map generation my map only generated 2 different biomes, one massive 6 x 6 km desert and only 2 cities in the entire map.

Is this normal for the current A18 mapgen? Hows things on private server? Or is everyone adjusting files and modding stuff to change map gen.

Cheers,

No, actually should be impossible in vanilla. Biome placement at the moment uses a fixed map that is just rotated for variety. So you would always get 4 (or was it 5) biomes of similar sizes (AFAIK). This will change in A19. Look at <7daysdir>\Data\Worlds\<yourworld>\biomes.png , this should be the picture of your biomes map.

Check out Nitrogen. It seems a lot of us are using that these days for map generation.
