[Cybermaxke]

The follow is a vague structure of how the project will be built, feel free to post your own ideas that you would like to see.

Generator:

• 1. Infinite polygonal cell generator and processing
  • 1. Cell generation, borders, center, etc.
  • 2. Generate images
  • 3. Generate land/ocean, distance to land/ocean
  • 4. Generate rivers
  • 5. Generate moisture map
  • 6. Generate temperature map
  • 7. Generate biomes from moisture, temperature, or other factors
• 2. Minecraft biome generator (minecraft world, per chunk, per block)
  • 1. Testing with vanilla Minecraft (using Sponge) along the way
  • 2. Simple generation (base biomes)
  • 3. Generate river biomes on borders
  • 4. Generate edge biomes
  • 5. More advanced stuff?
• 3. Minecraft world generator
  • 1. Simple terrain generation
  • 2. More advanced terrain generation?
  • 3. Tree generation and population
  • 4. More terrain population
  • 5. Basic structures
  • 6. Caves
  • 7. Etc.
• 4. Entity population (requires unavailable API)
  • 1. Population of entities accross the biomes, based on location of cells?
  • 2. Staying longer in a cell increases the difficulty of entities (syncing difficulty of all chunks within the cell to be compatible with vanilla)

5. Extras?
   1. Generating a roadmap
   2. Generate towns along the road
   3. Generate stairs/bridges/ladders/etc. to cross cliffs or move down
   4. Traveling villagers along the road, "Traveling Merchant"?
   5. Underground structures: mineshafts, dungeons, etc.
   6. Etc.

Node editor:
Design a node editor which allows you to configure your own world, visually using the noise generators, cell generators, processors, etc.
