Hex generation with the hex size setting set higher to produce much larger tiles.
Example with configs set to outline all hexes and add additional noise variation to each hex. This means that same biomes will be more varied in height and not connect.
The border block can be changed in the configs. Here we use an obsidian block with the option to generate the borders down to bedrock turned on.

Here's an example of all hexes being the same height (other than oceans). Configs used: I:biomeHeightAdjustment=0 I:hexSize=54 I:terrainBaseline=62 I:terrainHeight=44

Updated for 1.16.5 by AlcatrazEscapee
This mod changed standard world generation into a hex based tiles, similar to a board game. Each hex will contain one biome, and hexes with the same biome will connect together. Config options allow for adjustments of hex size, terrain height, changing block that outlines hexes, and more. Hex worlds are created by selecting "World Type: Hex Lands" when creating a new world. Other than changing height and shape of biome, other feature should generate normally (villages, caves, ravines, lakes, etc). This mod should also work with extra mod biomes like Traverse and Defiled Lands.
