Want a world that is amplified, but not quite as much so as normal amplified terrain?
This zip contains two configurations for the Biome Height Tweaker mod, to generate "Half amplified" terrain. (That is its been amplified but only half as much as the normal amplified generation would produce.
Usage:
1) Install the 1.9.4 (or above) version of the Biome Height Tweaker Mod (on the forge client/server)
2) In the zip file extract one of the two biomeheighttweaker.cfg files (the one in normal will generate normal cave gen, the one in large_caves for larger cave generation by default, both generate half amplified terrain)
3) copy the extracted file into the config directory
4) Start a new world with "Default" world gen (optionally you can use "Customized" for additional customization options, however note if you amplify the half amplified world the results will be even more amplified than normal)
The Versions:
* Normal: Generate normal caves, and don't generate villages in ice plains
* Large_Caves: generate larger cave systems, with large underground caverns. Also generate villages in ice plains (in addition to normal villages)
Additional Customization:
While these configurations can be used as is, they are in part intended to be used as starting points for your own biome amplification/flattening customization.
The Biome Height Tweaker mod is designed to customize the height and variation of any biome, this means you can further edit the file to increase or decrease the amplification of specific biomes as you see fit.
Increasing variation will make more/taller mountains. While increasing the height will make the average terrain height higher. -2 = near bedrock, while +4 is near build limit.
Server Use:
In single player you will require forge for 1.9.4 or 1.10 in addition to the Biome Height Tweaker mod installed however if you install the mod on the server the client need not have the mod or even forge installed, since forge 1.9.4/1.10 supports vanilla clients connecting. Thus you ought to be able to use this mod server side only, or in conjunction with a forge sponge server (once/if a compatible version is made).
Reuse:
This config is machine calculated from the defaults to produce a half amplified terrain, And is intended as a stating point for others to customize the generated terrain in their worlds. As such I am licencing these configs under CC-0 (public domain) and it may be used to make alternative customization types. These can be freely re-distributed, either stand alone, or as parts of configuration/mod packs.
