Valley

Valley

Valley is a world-gen mod that replaces vanilla rivers with ones that start inland and meander their way to the ocean.

This mod influences the terrain to generate in a more cohesive and natural-looking way creating beautiful rivers, valleys, ridgelines, and mountain chains. _(And now that the rivers actually go somewhere, it makes possible a fun new form of navigation and exploration!)._

Compatability

Valley is designed as a “drop-in” mod to use alongside other world-gen/biome mods and datapacks (eg Biomes’O’Plenty, Terralith, etc). Mods that entirely overhaul the world-generation or specifically change rivers or continents will probably not work with Valley.

See the gallery for some examples.

Server Setup

Valley can be installed on a modded server.
Clients do not need to have Valley installed in order to connect to the server.

Server setup steps:

1. Make sure the server is not running!
2. Install the Valley mod to your server’s “mods” folder.
3. If present, backup and remove the server’s existing world.
4. Launch the server allowing it to create a new world.
5. Done!

Roadmap

This mod is in the early stages of development.
Our plans for future iterations include:

• General refining of the default river/continent settings
• Expose settings to make rivers and continents more easily configurable
• Make it possible to distribute ‘presets’ that can override Valley’s defaults
• Provide GUI enhancements to allow user to preview changes before creating world
