Blockoland suggested on reddit that there should be a slider under the world generation option "superflat". I saw the idea and thought that it was a awesome idea. So here is the result:

Description:
This mod adds a slider to the user interface under the world generation option "Superflat". This slider makes it possible to change the height of the level. This can be use full for building.

does it generate ores below the dirt?

[Gunpowderjr]

Seems pretty good.

[falcodomin8tor]

Very simple, but a great idea, I think.
It adds more room to build higher, basically.

[StrawHatUra]

Super Practical. +1!

[cat12347]

Good idea, it's constantly annoying me that I cant build anthing underground in a superflat world, this is a great solution!

[Goldenstars]

sounds like a good idea, but does the ground generate normally under it? (such as stone, ores ect)

[Lijee]

I've so needed this. Does it have an optional ore generation slider too? That would be epic!

[Mega1mpact]

It does not generate ores etc because the superflat geberator only generates a bedrock layer with a set amount of dirt layers plus 1 grass layer.

-Sadface- well if there was a way to fix that I'd be a bit more interested in it, but it's good people are able to build at a reasonably normal height level now.

I'l try to make a seperate version that adds the function.

Would it be tough to add just simply stone layers (nopt bothering with ore and such)?

Maybe make it always make stone with X amount of dirt on top, like 4 or 5 layers?

i.e make a map with 50 layers. top 5 are dirt, rest are stone...?

Great little mod, espacially for redstone creations.
Download and +1

But could you rename the file to something different than "Mod", maybe CSH.

Oh, just wanted to point out a small bug I found.



I made a sky limit map, and the lighting was rather...odd. It clears up when you get near it though, so its not a big deal. Just pointing it out in case you wanted bug reports

[snipercrowbar]

cool - was fed up of having to use mcedit to do this shiit

thx  


(edit) after trying - reeeeeealy cool...

will the terrain generation work like this if i moved a world over to multiplayer after generating offline - or would it revert back to the default height once u get past the chunks that were initially generated?

if the latter - any chance of a server mod/ plugin for this?

     anyway

I have a feeling that this is more Minecraft's fault, as this mod only affects the generation of worlds.

This is true,
When a world is generated every chunk it generates has a certain "Temperature". This temperature is used for deciding what kind of biome the game is dealing with. When the flat world generator is called the game locks that temperature at roughly the same temperature as a taiga biome with no snow. I think that something went wrong during the generation of the world because rain is not possible in the flatlands due to the "temperature".

The generation data is stored in the world info file. But sadly the custom generation data (cutsom level height) is not. So if you shut down Minecraft an then reload the game and then fly verry far away the game will continue rendering the world normally.

Handy for MCEdit. Thanks for making this. I'll be grabbing it when all of my other mods are 1.1 updated.
