Terra Generator

Terra is an advanced, highly customizable terrain generator. It uses custom configuration packs to generate realistic and beautiful biomes and landscapes in Minecraft Bedrock.

Setting Up Terra

PowerNukkitX features built-in support for the Terra generator.

1. Enable Terra in pnx.yml

[!WARNING] Remember to shut down the server before modifying pnx.yml to prevent the server from overwriting your edits with cached configurations on shutdown.

Open pnx.yml in your server root directory, find the miscSettings section, and set enableTerra to true:

miscSettings:
  enableTerra: true

2. Restart the Server

Restart the server. PowerNukkitX will initialize the Terra directory structure and create a ./terra directory in your server root.

Installing Terra Packs

Terra controls world generation through config packs. You can download and install community-made packs:

1. Locate a pack (e.g. from the Terra Community Packs list).
2. Place the pack's folder or ZIP file inside the ./terra/packs/ directory of your server.
3. Find the pack ID. Open the pack's pack.yml file and locate the id field (e.g., REIMAGEND).

Configuring a World to Use Terra

To generate a world using your installed Terra pack, configure a custom generator configuration in worlds/:

1. Create a folder inside the worlds directory for your new world (e.g., worlds/end).
2. Create a configuration file named config.json inside that world folder:

   {
       "format": "leveldb",
       "enable": true,
       "generators": {
           "2": {
               "name": "terra",
               "seed": 0,
               "enableAntiXray": false,
               "antiXrayMode": "LOW",
               "preDeobfuscate": true,
               "dimensionData": {
                   "dimensionName": "minecraft:end",
                   "dimensionId": 2,
                   "minHeight": 0,
                   "maxHeight": 255,
                   "height": 256,
                   "chunkSectionCount": 16
               },
               "preset": {
                   "pack": "REIMAGEND"
               }
           }
       }
   }

   [!TIP] Replace "REIMAGEND" in the preset.pack parameter with the exact ID of your desired pack.

3. Start the server. Teleport to your new world in-game using /world tp end Dim2 to view the custom generated terrain.
