[Mod] Superflat Mapgen [2.0] [superflat]

[srifqi]

Hi!
This mod will make you be able to do these:
- Customize world generation layer by layer
- Add decorations (optional)
- If you fall, you will be returned to the surface

See the README.

Note for transitioning to v2.0: This version has world generation changes, i.e. the world's layers might appear drastically different with older versions, especially for high/deep layers.

Lines 45 and 48 in init.lua could be faster. What's the diffrence to my flatgen mod and the mg_flags?

[paramat]

Well obviously this is 'superflat' so is flatter than flat ;)

Lines 45 and 48 in init.lua could be faster.

How?
EDIT: Ignore it, fixed

What's the diffrence to my flatgen mod and the mg_flags?

If your mod just create a flat world like mgv6 does (of course, no biome). Mine will create a flat world that every layer can be edited. See Superflat -> Customization and also read my README

- Tired writing "default:stone" 3980 times? Use new modifying system. Just write "default:stone=3980" see README and parameter.lua file

- Don't creates right node if in another chunks that is higher

PS: i released this also with my second map (Desert Superflat Survival)

[Jastiv]

I'm getting that too. I need a mapgen that always starts you in grasslands next to an ocean, generates flowers and grass but no trees, and also is fairly flat with no mountains.

[j0j0n4th4n]

I create a new world with just this mod on, but right after the game load it disconnect and I got the following error:
