Welcome to the vibrant world of Minecraft! If you’re passionate about creating unique worlds and environments, then Terra is your ultimate toolkit. This modern world generation modding platform allows you to customize your Minecraft experience like never before. Let’s dive into how you can build and run Terra, along with some valuable troubleshooting tips to ensure a smooth journey into world creation.
What is Terra?
Terra is a platform designed for modding in Minecraft, enabling complete customization of world generation through an advanced API. Think of it as your magic wand that shapes the vast landscapes of your Minecraft world to your liking. Below are the main components of Terra:
- A voxel world generation API focused on configuration and extensibility.
- Several platform implementations which serve as the bridge between the API and the running platform.
- An addon loader that streams addons into the Terra API in a platform-agnostic manner.
- Core addons that serve as the configuration standard library for Terra.
Supported Platforms
Terra officially supports the Fabric mod loader and the Bukkit API (Paper and friends). If you have a particular platform in mind, feel free to submit Pull Requests for more support!
