I (and I'm sure quite a few other people) am not a huge fan of the Biome system. Particularly, snow and desert biomes. They're quite ridiculous to me, as that you can have your nice settlement on a nice hill overlooking a nice valley.... and over to the right there's some weird area where withing like a 30 foot radius, it's always snowing. And next to that is a blazing hot desert. What.
Here's my proposal:
Before one generates his/her world, he/she is prompted to
1) Name the world [already standard]
2) Enter a world seed [if biome editing is not in use]
3) Edit biomes
A) Snow Biomes [activate/deactivate]
1) All Snow Biomes
:cool.gif: Desert Biome [activate/deactivate]
2) All desert biomes
C) Mountainous Biome [actiavte/deactivate]
3) All mountainous Biomes [note]
..... and so on, for each type of Biome.
Of course, the options would be presented in the form of check boxes and things like that, and I suggest also allowing to increase/decrease just the frequency of how common each biome is.
I'd rather a slider system, controlling the frequency of each biome, as well as the size of each type of biome (so you can make a world thats mostly mountains, but not all, for instance.
I agree, that's sort of what I was driving at. :smile.gif:

Please comment with your thoughts on this!

Sorry, not true. I just tried it and I actually spawned in a desert biome.
I tried it and I got flatland with no desert.
Perhaps the area I spawned in sent me to the good area. Try it again.
Strange, happened again.
I always thought that seeds would just be randomly generated numbers, not typing out what kind of world you want.
Example: GiveMeATonOf
That will not get you lots of

I see what you did there.
No love for biome suggestion?
