For many who don't know, a long while back I wrote a PC program called MCPEGenerator that created custom maps using a noise algorithm called Simplex Noise. But, since my primary role was modding iOS MCPE, when MCPE lost RTTI around 0.7.2, I left all my other projects and MCPEGenerator to the community as open-source code. Now that MCPE is supposedly getting RTTI enabled in 0.9.0, and now that I have an Android device, I have decided to pickup where I left off with, starting with MCPEGenerator. I am going to make it much more advanced, and develop it for devices rather than computers (though I may also write it for PC to help un-jailbroken iOS users).

Features the new app and PC versions will include:

• ​Choose world size
• ​Finite world size with custom dimensions
• Infinite using a planned mod for 500ISE's BlockLauncher (Android) or a custom mod planned for iOS
• Option to generate oceans
• Use preset or custom settings for ocean depth, sea level and beaches
• Option to generate land
• Multiple types of noise to choose from, including Simplex, Perlin, Fractal, and Voronoi
• Filters for noise to add different effects
• Can use basic (presets) or custom conic equations for specific shapes like cliffs or floating islands
• Option to generate caves
• Different presets or custom settings for cave generation
• Option to generate ores
• Different presets or custom settings for ore generation
• Add new "ore" veins such as nether rack or quartz
• Option to generate foilage (plants and trees)
• Allow for custom tree models
• Add forests of custom tree types
• Option to generate custom structures
• Will have preset or custom structures using schematic files
• Edit frequency of spawning
• Choose which biomes structures can spawn in
• Option to generate custom biomes
• Will have preset or custom biome settings files
• Size, frequency, and filters to use for each biome

Since this is a large project, I expect to finish all the features above in late June or early July, but I will release versions of the app and program whenever I add new and large features. I will start during 0.8.1 getting the core stuff implemented, but will keep it basic with few features. When the 0.9.0 terrain update comes, I will begin adding the rest of the features mentioned (to make it easy for future development).

Last, since I am no where near a good iOS app maker, I would like to find somebody who can make a jailbroken iOS app. If you do develop iOS apps, PM me, and if possible, show some previous iOS apps you've made.

Sounds awesome can't wait

@jocopa3, this will be Open Source?

Very cool

Yes, the Android version will be open-source.

This seems a Great Mod to install since Mojang will also imply this to MCPE, But just In case Mojang doesn't Imply this to MCPE, we still have this

Oh my lord, this is exactly what I need for my city. Godspeed to you, OP.
Also, just out of curiosity, what Android device do you use? C:

I have two. A Galaxy S5, and a very cheap Chinese tablet that somehow runs MCPE. I have both to test apps on slow and fast devices.

*Cough* *Cough* Sony Xperia Z2 is better *Cough* *Cough*

Any news on this? I've really been hoping it could work out one way or another. Curious how it turns out.

Since Jocopa is making it, it will be awesome!!!

When will this be completed?

When will this be completed?

This is a world editor program which would have been usable prior to 0.9.x.

Since the 0.9.x series, the worlds have been saved in a different format called LevelDB.

Even the guy who worked on MCEdit, codewarrior, has not been able to create a world editor for this new format.

I suggest you wait patiently.

Oh ok

can you beta test.
