Sure, why not make minecraft more complex. A ton more ores, stones and metals is a hell of a lot better than the kind of complexity Civcraft decided to strive for. I'm planning on making some far easier stripped down versions of current Civcraft mods which I'm hoping to run on a friends server, perhaps she might be convinced to use this for a new map. Or otherwise I really want to test this out anyway. I might be able to just convert ores I have no need for to something else.

I'm getting a new computer in a few days, should be able to test this out then.

Actually, yo, Japa, does/can this thing do structures?

If it's possible to configure it for such, I really want to try generating a world for a few millennia to see how all the structures look.

It doesn't read any structures from dwarf fortress, and even if it did, there'd be major scaling issues. It doesn't even read town locations.

Any towns are the ones that minecraft generates.

That's what I thought, but asking seemed worthwhile.

Someone on the minecraft forum thread already did some checking about the scaling issues, things like doors and stairs would be useless, the fact that you can travel diagonally in DF but not minecraft causes problems.

Well, I'm genning a DF world to test this with, look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Edit: It seems to put a file labeled "region" in the saves folder. Given that it's not formatted as a save file, this may be a problem.

Take a look at the Minecraft save file format, especially in the folder called "world" I think.

Ahhhh, okay, that helps. Either I messed something up, or it outputs the "region" and "level.dat" files straight to the saves folder instead of their own subfolder.

the diagonal travelling can be possible if a "square" is 5x5 blocks with missing corner blocks.

yes, if it's necessary. but if it's made into a mod, this could also just have custom blocks:
-stairwells
-ramps
-doorways
etc.
complete with ceilings/floor and automatically applying to their surroundings, like "glass panes" or "stairs" already do in minecraft.
rough hewn, smooth and engraved versions of all materials.
also you can have custom player and monster models that are just small enough to pass though those blocks.

Hey guys, just popping in to mention that my fork is indeed dead / abandoned.

My fork managed to redo a bit of the biome selection system to place biomes based on biome type, temperature and vegetation and then smooth it all, with the possibility for modded weighted modded Biomes (high temperature, vegetation and a green biome from DF implies a randomly rainforest biome from the list of biomes) to be added... but I never got around to cleaning up my code, making an XML import system and optimizing anything before I dropped it... so the entire thing is a horrific abandoned mess. The hacked together spaghetti code I have there should never be seen...  >_>"

I ultimately gave up when I realized that exporting entire maps just doesn't work well with Minecraft's 256 block height limit and would only really make sense if something like Cubic Chunks was a thing. Oh, also real life punched me in the face and then I was KO-ed with laziness thereafter. <_<"
