Old Continents Slider

Minecraft 版本： 26.2

平台： fabric

标签： adventure worldgen

Remember when Minecraft had real oceans? Until 1.6.4, the world was big continents
floating in a huge ocean. Since 1.7.2, it's an infinite landmass with elongated lakes.
One of the oldest debates in the community — and this mod doesn't pick a side: you
get a slider.

✨ What it does

Adds the Continents world type with a Continentalness slider (0–100):

• ? 0 — Modern generation, identical to vanilla.
• ? 100 — Classic continents: ragged-coast archipelagos in a dominant ocean
  (~84% water), 1.6.4 style.
• ? Anything in between — hybrid worlds: the higher the value, the bigger the seas.

Every vanilla biome, structure and mechanic works normally. Terrain is built from 100%
vanilla density functions — no custom chunk generator — so worlds are stable across
mod updates and even safe to open without the mod installed.

? How to use

1. Create New World → World Type: Continents
2. Click Customize and move the slider
3. Create — the value is saved in your world forever

? Bonus: instant world maps

/continents map <value> [radius]

Renders a 1024×1024 biome map of your seed at ANY slider value in ~1 second, without
generating a single chunk. Compare generations side by side on the same seed.

❓ FAQ

• Multiplayer? Yes — works on dedicated servers
  (level-type=continents:continents generates at 100).
• Existing worlds? The slider applies at world creation only; existing worlds keep
  their generation.
• Performance? Same as vanilla — it's the vanilla noise generator with different
  parameters.
• Requires: Fabric Loader ≥ 0.19.3 + Fabric API.

ES — ¿Te acordás de cuando Minecraft tenía océanos de verdad? Un tipo de mundo con
slider de Continentalidad 0–100: 0 = generación moderna idéntica a vanilla, 100 =
continentes clásicos estilo 1.6.4 flotando en un océano enorme, intermedios = mundos
híbridos. Todos los biomas y estructuras vanilla funcionan normal. Incluye
/continents map para renderizar mapas de tu seed en cualquier valor del slider, en
un segundo y sin generar chunks.

Minecraft's Continent Problem by
MISTYBUNGLER — a great video on the history of one of the community's oldest
debates, which imagined exactly this slider. Go watch it!
