TerrainForged — Beta 0.7.0

Improved Mountain Streams

• Stream channels now fill to their banks for a fuller, more natural appearance.

• Streams follow valley floors and merge with nearby streams.

• Every stream connects to a river, lake, ocean, or small mountain lake.

• Depressions along stream routes fill with water, creating natural pools.

New Mountain Lakes

• Added small mountain lakes where streams collect in terrain hollows.

• Streams continue from each lake’s lowest outlet, keeping waterways connected.

Generation Notes

• River generation is unchanged in this update.

Beta 0.6.0

Mountain Streams & Waterfalls

• Added streams that flow down hills and mountains into rivers, lakes, and the ocean.

• Added rapids, pools, and waterfalls with typical drops of 3–7 blocks, plus larger drops over cliffs.

• Stream water stays contained by the surrounding terrain, preventing floating water.

• Added stream settings to the Rivers page and stream visibility on the preview map.

New Default Preset

• Added TerrainForged as the default preset, featuring taller mountains, more hills and highlands, increased land coverage, more rivers and lakes, and mountain streams.

• The original ReTerraForged default remains available as the ReTerraForged preset.

Spawn Selection

• Added a Random Spawn button that selects dry land near a river, lake, or stream, away from mountainous terrain.

Existing Worlds

• Worlds created with earlier versions retain their previous generation behavior. Mountain streams are not added to those worlds.

Beta 0.5.0

Map-Based Spawn Selection

• Choose your world’s spawn directly on the Customize screen’s preview map.

• Locations selected in water automatically move to the nearest dry land.

• Select Clear Spawn to restore automatic spawn selection.

Generation Notes
