Restores the Far Lands to newer Minecraft versions




Updated for 1.18 and 1.18.1. The Overworld Far Lands appear different now due to the new noise caves. Nether and The End still look the same.

Important note: The increased height of the Overworld means more Far Lands height. This puts a much heavier load on the server than before and may cause issues in certain cases.
----------, Dec 11, 2021

Update for compatibility with MC 1.17 and Java 16.

Also includes some internal work and reflection improvements so it should remain compatible with future Java versions.
----------, Jun 30, 2021

Workaround added to support Java 14 (and 15). Tested as well as possible and should be no problems there.
----------, Dec 7, 2020

Now enables on 1.16.4.
----------, Nov 4, 2020

Fixed the detection of Paper so it should now properly identify forks of Paper as well.
----------, Aug 23, 2020

And we have an update for 1.16.2! Also on MC 1.16, I seem to have fixed the weirdness with where the Far Lands begin in The End.

Notes: At present Paper does not have a release version for 1.16.2 but it has been tested against the current dev branch and works fine with that so far.
----------, Aug 17, 2020

Updated for 1.16, no other major changes.

Updated for 1.16, no other changes.

Fix small bug with large biomes.
----------, Jan 7, 2020

Plugin should now properly work on normal, large biomes, amplified and buffet Overworld types.

(Note that the Far Lands do not work on flat worlds since the noise generators aren't used for that world type.)
----------, Jan 2, 2020

Update adding support for 1.15 and 1.15.1
----------, Dec 23, 2019

Mojang finally fixed the generator bugs so the Far Lands are usable in 1.14. Everything should be working as normal except for an oddity in The End. That dimension is somewhat inconsistent about where it begins generating the Far Lands now. No idea why this happens yet.

Also as of this version on I am dropping active support for Minecraft versions older than 1.12. Anyone on older versions can stay with v1.5 of FarLandsAgain, it will continue working. Minecraft versions 1.12 , 1.14 and up will be supported by new plugin updates.

There is no support for any version of 1.13 due to the generator bugs.
----------, May 11, 2019

This is not an update for 1.13 support (yet). This one is mostly code clean up.

- Code is now set up with Maven, so if someone needs to fork/continue the plugin in the future it should be easier to do.
- More error and status messages.
- Improved sanity checks and the plugin should clean up after itself better.

The 1.13 support is in progress and seems to be working so far. However https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-125134 has made testing rather difficult as going out that far often triggers a server crash.
----------, Jul 22, 2018

Updated for 1.12 compatibility. No other changes.
----------, Jun 8, 2017

FarLandsAgain will now activate on PaperSpigot and most branches based on Paper. Generator settings specified in paper.yml should also be applied correctly.
----------, Jan 28, 2017

Confirmed still working on 1.11.2

Also has new settings added to allow the Far Lands to begin generating closer (or further) than the normal point, even making the entire world Far Lands. Installation process has changed a bit and can be viewed here: Installation

Updated for 1.11
----------, Nov 18, 2016

Fixed a couple potential issues and tweaked the code a bit. Not a crucial update but recommended.
----------, Sep 17, 2016

No real changes, just updated to load on 1.10.
----------, Jun 12, 2016

Now compatible with 1.9.4

Also terrain gen apparently has been made far less demanding in 1.9.4. Had no timeouts and only minor lag when testing this time. YMMV of course.
----------, May 14, 2016

Only minor tweaks to code and confirmed 1.9.2 compatible.
----------, Apr 6, 2016

Version 1.3 is pretty much internal reworking. A little more informative with error and status messages and the plugin now cleans up after itself properly. Not a critical update but recommended for all users.
----------, Mar 10, 2016

Managed to work out the NMS changes and got the plugin updated for 1.9. While I was at it I did some code cleanup and added sanity checks and error messages. Configuration remains the same.

This update is recommended for all users, even if you're still on 1.8.
----------, Mar 5, 2016

In regards to 1.9, the plugin will not currently work since it relies on NMS modification. Unfortunately the method used to do the modification does not work in 1.9 and I have not worked out a new one yet. Depending on time and complexity of the fix it may be a while and possibly will not be updated at all though I hope it doesn't end up that way.

In the meantime I have created a patch for use with BuildTools that will achieve the same effect as the plugin however it is not world-specific; any world using the vanilla generator will have FarLands. It is considerably simpler though, as most of the plugin actually is just digging into the NMS files so it can make the changes.

https://github.com/OtakuMegane/FarLandsAgain/blob/master/0151-Re-enable-Farlands-for-1.9.patch

To use it all that should be necessary is to drop it in the Spigot/CraftBukkit-Patches/ directory then run BuildTools like normal to compile a new server .jar
----------, Mar 4, 2016

If you're already up and running can probably skip this update.
----------, Jun 30, 2015

It seems The End has Far Lands as well, so plugin supports that world type now.
