My first world was built on a beach. And I deleted that world, Now I can't recreate it. :sad.gif:

Same here. My 1.7.3 world was perfect. I had my house on grassy green land. There was a forest behind it, and infront of the house was a perfect little beach.

I miss that world. *Kicking myself for deleting my .jar*

The reason beaches were removed is because he could no longer find spots where beaches should be with a simple noise field. A fix to this would be to just check if the top block is below sea level plus two, for gravel I'd use another layer of 2d noise. If you guys want this I could make this tommorow in a few minutes.

I completely agree. The beaches now are all so small and skimpy. Also, the underwater geology, is fine for swamps, but ugly for anywhere else. :wink.gif: You have my full support!

Oh yes. The lack of decent beaches has been a MAJOR thorn in my side for a while now. I just finished relocating half the sand in a desert biome a thousand blocks to build my own beach just so I could reconstruct by beloved beach house!

I'm apathetic about the water bedding thing. I think both are fine methods of generation, and wouldn't mind seeing them both in the future; either separate or 'mixed'. I also like that clay is a little easier to find without having to do the math. Gravel beaches are ugly, imo, but I understand why some people liked them so I'd be OK with their return. :smile.gif:

yes to beaches, as for underwater geology, i like having ravines spawn deep underground, as i sometimes just dive down to explore (while getting killed by and in the process).but i would like to have some coral reefs spawn, especially in shallow water, posing a hazard if you try and bring your boat in too shallow water. underwater volcanoes would be cool too :tongue.gif:

It would be interesting to see the results of your fix to this issue. If you have the time and willingness to make this, many others and I would be greatly appreciative of your efforts!

My only question is how well will your solution work? I'm wondering if it will return beaches as we once knew them prior to 1.8 as being rather large and expansive at times, or if it'll simply add a thin layer of sand in the River/Ocean biome transitions...

I support! Back in alpha, I had the greatest beach house in history. Now that the terrain generation is screwed with, there's no beaches :sad.gif:
