Creating a world from an image

Under Construction. Any help is welcome

Shaping your world can be difficult. Rivers always generate in the wrong place, islands are not where you want, your mountains don't look good enough. Sure, you can achieve a lot with all the biome options. But Terrain Control also has a feature to generate your biomes from an image. With this feature you can take complete control over your world. However, you can also use the normal biome mode and then use a image to do some small map improvements.

## Pros and cons

  • Complete control over your biomes

  • Much easier to work with

  • Can be used to produce custom (adventure?) maps

  • Images are not infinite, you must fall back on another biome generator when you are outside the image.

  • No random biome combinations: biome placement looks (or as bad) as you have painted it.

  • Has some quirks which are described below.
