Which is both neat and creepy. Also note, that underwater islands will get squid rain. I use that generator for my SSP world.

I highly recommend you do the Eternal Sands desert map generator. Huge volcanos and pyramids, and dunes of sand as far as the eye can see. Really neat stuff.

This guy's programs leak memory like brains in a sieve. I really want to see this source code, and maybe see if there's a way to generate chunks without keeping THE ENTIRE MAP in memory.

Holy crap, you listen to Thomas Dolby?

[PTTG??]

Isn't that the Jarjar Binks of Harry Potter?

Thomas Dolby, the musician.

Oh well.

I am wondering if there is a better floating islands map generator...

Also, oh well.

[Rex_Nex]

Well, I know it is possible and quite easy to use BiomeTerrain to make some floating islands. I don't know the config for it, though. We could always use Skylands.

We could attempt to write our own (note I'm only talking to the coders among us)? I don't think it would be *THAT* hard

[Rose]

I don't know any java.

[sizeak]

Me neither but it's close enough to C# and I know some of that. Anyway, picking up a new language is fairly easy once you know one.

I've started the new, much larger, floating islands map.

Mods: Do not spawn resources anymore!

Everyone: Keep in mind, the map is still limited in size. It is 64 times the area of the first map. The walls are 16 times longer on each side.

I will be experimenting with other potential map generators. There is a chance we may find something that makes much better islands than this, in which case we may load a new map.

Wait, is that on both maps, or just the new one?

[Bluerobin]

So I really like playing on floating islands, but I connected and had... issues. Is there a whitelist for this server I'm not on? I couldn't talk or, well, do anything except walk around.

Edit: Second attempt was very slightly better. I saw a chat message I sent during the first attempt go through about 5 minutes after I sent it. Could it just be really, really ridiculously laggy?

Just :6666.

It doesn't generate new chunks?

[PTTG??]

It does not.
