1.20.x - Biomes & bees update

Welcome to ParadiseLand BETA-1.2.1 , here is the list of new features, improvements, and bug fixes in this release!

PLEASE READ
This update is compatible with the old one, but I suggest you delete your "/plugins/ParadiseLand" folder and regenerate the world. In the other case, I take no responsibility if you lose the world, so make a backup.

What's new

Added two new biomes, namely: Cherry Grove and Snowy Ice Spikes.
So from this release, the count of all default biomes is 15! :cool:

Cherry Grove [1.20+]
[IMG]

Like the vanilla one, in this biome, you can find the new cherry tree, pink petals on the floor, and as a new iconic feature, the light block illuminates the gloomy night.

Ice Spikes
[IMG]

This biome is similar to the vanilla one but the ice spikes are small and pointed or huge and procedurally generated.

Major features

Beehives will spawn around the world in Spigot 1.18+!
Bees are available from Minecraft 1.15, but I was forced to add this feature from Spigot 1.18 for a technical issue.

Code (YAML):

entities:
bees:
nest :
# [1.18+ FEATURE]: the probability to spawn a nest on a tree (a value between 0 (never) and 1 (always)).
frequency : 0.0
# [1.18+ FEATURE]: the honey level of the spawned nest (min: 0 and max: 5)
honey-level : 3
Added a new option to avoid the protrusion of ore veins by editing this new property in each biome file:

Code (YAML):

ores:
frequency : HIGHER
# True, if you want the ores to be generated outside the island shape.
protrusion : false
A new option to generate ice spikes has been added. You can find it in any biome config file:

Code (YAML):

surface:
ice-spikes :
# The maximum number of ice spikes per chunk
# > A value between 0 and 4.
count : 0
# Frequency to spawn an ice spike.
# > A value between 0 (never) and 1 (always).
frequency : 0.0

Minor features and fixes

From 1.19, leaves that spawn in water will be waterlogged.
Fixed some Bamboo blocks from falling.
Vines now spawn correctly around the swamp tree.
Fixed mob spawning on the snow block.
Fixed mob spawning on tree leaves and ice.
Fixed many solid blocks that were removed when creating caves.
Fixed incorrect spawning of small ore veins (now emerald ore blocks spawn correctly).

RIVERS

MORE BIOMES!

Forest
Birch forest
Dark forest
Plains
Jungle
Savanna
Swamp
Desert
Badlands (mesa)
Taiga
Taiga plains
Snowy taiga
Snowy plains (tundra)

These biomes are based on Minecraft 1.8.8-1.12.2, and new biomes such as Bamboo Jungle will be added in future releases (You can do it yourself).

Improvements:

The island generator has been updated, it behaves differently and you can now add all the layers you want.
All mobs are supported from the default bukkit populator (i.e. frogs spawn automatically in swamps from 1.19+).
Fish and aquatic mobs were added in 1.13+.
Two new types of temperatures were added (COLDEST, COLD, MILD, HOT, SCORCHING).
In 1.17+ the bottom of the islands can be illuminated with the light block!
Other little things you can find in the generator/biome configurations.

Welcome to ParadiseLand BETA-1.1.8, here you can find the list of improvements and bug fixes of this release:

1.19.1 and 1.19.2 are now fully supported;
Added stored chunk cleanup during inactivity;
in main.yml you will find the following configuration:

Code (YAML):

async-placer :
# Enable or disable the async chunks placer;
# This feature cleans the database by placing stored chunks from the world's database.
# !! It is beneficial with large worlds that require much time to load.
enabled : true
# The number of stored chunks that can be placed to the generated chunks.
# !! Border chunks won't be placed
# > Min value: 1
# > Max value: 1000
# NOTE: Doing an aggressive chunk placing will produce a server overload.
# This means that if this value is greater than 100 (depending on your hardware)
# more RAM and CPU could be used.
chunks : 250
# If false, the async placer will be executed when there are no online players.
# > Default value: false
# NOTE: If you want to set this property to true, set a very low number of chunks to place
# otherwise, a server overhead and lag will occur.
# For instance, you can do it while the server is in development and nothing cares about lag.
forced : true
Lake improvements: added sugar canes and underwater blocks;

Code (YAML):

plantains:
sugar-canes :
# If it's closer to 1, more sugar canes will be spawned next to water blocks.
# Default value: 0.33
# Range value: [0, 1]
frequency : 0.33
# The max height of a spawned sugar cane.
# Default value: 3
# Range value: [2, 10]
max-height : 3

Code (YAML):

surface:
lake:
water :

# For instance, into a 1.13 server:
# -> single block type: GRASS_BLOCK
# -> multiple block types: GRASS_BLOCK,DIRT,MYCELIUM
# For instance, into a 1.12 server:
# -> single block type: GRASS
# -> multiple block types: GRASS,DIRT,MYCELIUM
# 1.12.2 materials: https://helpch.at/docs/1.12.2/org/bukkit/Material.html
# latest materials: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Material.html
types : SAND (34 %),DIRT(33%),CLAY(33%)
Added water and lava waterfalls at the bottom of an island:

Code (YAML):

surface:
falling:
water :
# The water waterfall at the bottom of an island.
# A value between 0 (never) and 1 (always).
frequency : 0.0001
lava :
# The lava waterfall at the bottom of an island.
# A value between 0 (never) and 1 (always).
# NOTE: lava waterfall will try to be placed after attempting to establish a water waterfall.
frequency : 0.000025
Fixed biomes order during generation;
Improved randomization algorithms;
Improved snow! Trees will automatically be covered;
Generator config cleanup: removed biomes.fractal properties;
From 1.8.8 to 1.12.2 caves were affected by a wrong terrain generation;

Updated to 1.19.x, plains, ponds&lakes, pumpkins, watermelons

Welcome to ParadiseLand Beta 1.1.7!

What's new in ParadiseLand?

It is now compatible with spigot 1.8.8 to the latest spigot/paper 1.19.x version.
Chunks cache saving/loading timings improved
New procedural cave generation algorithm that reduces the time and memory during the generation.
Added Plains biome

Thanks to all that believe in me and in my project [IMG]

----------, Jul 20, 2022

Updated to 1.18.x, performance and fix update

Welcome to ParadiseLand Beta 1.1.6!

This is an important release because you can finally use this plugin in your public servers without encountering world generation issues, bugs, glitches, and server overload/crashing.

What's new in ParadiseLand?

Important things:
- It is now compatible with spigot 1.8.8 to the latest spigot/paper 1.18.x version.
- PaperSpigot is now the suggested server thanks to its optimizations that are used to reduce some timing.
- Chunks cache saving/loading timings are very fast now!
- Database size is now very small and will keep just a few megabytes!
Fixed mob spawning during chunks generation and during the normal bukkit population.
Fixed trimmed things like caves, ores, and trees.
Fixed other small generator issues.
A small revision of the /paradiseland command:
- /paradiseland schematic list
  - This command lists the .schematic and .schem files contained in the schematics directory.
  - Permission: paradiseland.schematic.list
- /paradiseland schematic paste <schematic-file-name> [0, 90, 180, 270]
  - This command allows you to paste schematics (no WorldEdit plugin needed).
  - Permission: paradiseland.schematic.paste
- These two commands requires the generic paradiseland.schematic permission.

Other changes:

Generators config file:
- modified default biome cold temperature value from 0.95 to 0.75
Biomes config file:
- modified ores generation frequency from NORMAL to HIGHER.
Main config file:
- modified debug.chunks-avg property from 10 to 200.
- modified hsqldb.compression-type property value from DISABLED to COMPRESSION, so cached chunks will be compressed to keep space on disk.
- added hsqldb.compaction property that will be used to compact the world's database.
- added danger-zone.delete-worlds-folders.

Thanks to all that believe in me and in my project

Jungle and savanna biomes, improvements and bugfix

NEW Jungle biome!
[IMG]

The new jungle biome is similar to the vanilla biome and you'll find:

Vanilla jungle trees such as big jungle trees, small jungle trees, cocoa trees and bushes
A lot of vines

Its climate is hot so, it will be generated next to desert, savanna and forest biomes. Available from all supported Minecraft versions.

NEW Savanna biome!
[IMG]

The new savanna biome is similar to the vanilla biome and you'll find:

Vanilla savanna trees such as acacia and forest tree

Its climate is hot so, it will be generated next to desert, jungle and forest biomes. Available from all supported Minecraft versions.

Improved taiga biome!
[IMG]

Added taiga vanilla trees such as redwood, tall redwood and mega redwood

Improvements and bugfix

Replaced the bukkit vanilla-trees generation with my own implementation because it causes server lag and issues. With the newest implementation, not all the TreeTypes are available to generate, yet.
Supported TreeTypes at this time:
- TREE
- BIG_TREE
- BIRCH
- TALL_BIRCH
- REDWOOD
- TALL_REDWOOD
- MEGA_REDWOOD
- ACACIA
- JUNGLE
- SMALL_JUNGLE
- JUNGLE_BUSH
- COCOA_TREE
Other TreeTypes won't be generated.
Fixed a lot of cut things
Improved the async chunk generation
Speed up the chunk generation
Speed up the database writing so, improved world unloading and saving time
FIXED 1.13 support due to a missing Material class method error.

Remember that this is not the final version and it may be subject to changes.

Added vanilla trees generation

On each biome, you can now generate vanilla trees.

You'll find a piece of configuration like that:

Code (YAML):

vanilla-trees :
# Frequencies: NONE, LOWEST, LOW, NORMAL, HIGH or HIGHER
frequency : HIGH
# The list of vanilla tree types (separated by a comma)
# that will be placed on the generated chunk.
# > Bukkit manages the tree placing as well as it can.
# So, I suggest you follow the biome's tree type, such as
# TREE for the forest biome or ACACIA to the Savanna biome.
# Take a look at the minecraft-biomes property for the list of vanilla biomes.
# You can write just the tree type or its percentage.
# -> single tree: TREE
# -> multiple trees: TREE(75%),BIRCH(25%)
# 1.12.2 trees: https://helpch.at/docs/1.12.2/org/bukkit/TreeType.html
# latest trees: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/TreeType.html
types : "TREE(65%),BIG_TREE(5%),BIRCH(30%)"

You can recreate SkyLandPlus worlds finally :love:

I will post as soon as possible an update with my SkyLandPlus configuration

Added layered snow and bugs fix

Added layered snow as biome configuration

Code (YAML):

surface :
...
# The snow will be layered next to a solid block.
# By default, this value is false.
# > The snow property must be true
layered-snow : true

Fixed minor snow bugs where grass needs to be dirt in 1.13+ versions.
Generation improvements...

Fixed vines, added snow and bamboo plantain generation

1.14+

Solved bamboo generation as plantain

1.16+:

Weeping vines is now generating at the bottom of a block
Twisting vines is now generating from the top of a block up to the sky

Implemented snow generation on each custom biome configuration:

Code (YAML):

surface :
# The snow will be placed on the surfaces.
# > Plantains and flowers will be replaced by snow!
# Look at the plantains.replace-snow property.
snow : true

Code (YAML):

plantains :
# By default, a plantain will be replaced by the snow layer.
# If this property is set to true, this won't happen and the plantain
# won't be replaced.
replace-snow : true

----------, Jul 10, 2021

Updated to 1.17.1 and vines!

Official 1.17.1 compatibility

World's database performance improvements during the write to the disk.
Enabled world prevention enable-fire-spread.
Added new prevention vines-max-length to limit the vines from growing.
Added vines generator as custom biome configuration.

On each biome, you will find a piece of configuration like that:

Updated to 1.17 and performance upgrade

This plugin is now compatible from 1.8.8 to the latest 1.17 spigot version.

Some technical issues have been solved with differents micro-performance upgrades.

----------, Jul 3, 2021

ParadiseLand Reworked BETA 1.0.0 has been released!

This is the first beta version, released after the alpha version but, it must be considered as a prototype.

Read before using it!

This first version is a taste of the next versions that will be released in the future.
You must know that:

I don't recommend you to use it on public servers.
Don't pre-generate a big world with a lot of chunks per time because it requires a lot of time to be saved into the local database. In the next update, I've to fix this issue.
I suggest you use Spigot or Paper. At this time, YatopiaMC runs this plugin as same as Paper but, I won't give support on it due to its Fabric optimizations.
Delete your old /plugins/ParadiseLand folder!
Delete your old worlds that have been generated with the ALPHA version!

In this version you'll find:

Terrain decorations such as ores, plantains and flowers:
Added Taiga biome!
Creatures spawning.
Caves improvements.
Fixed bugs and generator improvements.
Official support for 1.16.5 (anyway, it works with the latest alpha version).
Fully customizable and documented configuration files.
Technical changes:
- Added HSQLDB (world's database) multi-thread access.
- Fixed some server blocking during server shutdown.
- Fixed issues during world unloading when the server is still online.
- Fixed Yatopia 1.16.5 compatibility due to a server blocking during the generation but, I don't support it in the future due to its buggy optimizations.
- Speed up the database writing during server shutdown (this depending on your CPU cores and HDD/SSD speed).

----------, Feb 17, 2021

Updated to 1.16.4

Added official support to the latest (1.16.4) spigot version.

You can use this version instead of the previous one.

----------, Nov 4, 2020

Improved performances and async chunk generation!

This update improves the generation and server performances!
You can speed into the world at speed 10 and the world will be generated instantly! (with Ryzen 3900x at 4.7 GHz)

Fixed trimmed trees
Improved disk usage
- Now the database will only store pending chunks updates
Added a new main configuration to manage:
- debug mode
- generation properties
  - chunks in ram (cache size)
- database properties
  - enable or disable verbose
  - chunk data compression

This version is no longer compatible with the old one. You must regen your world's database.

N.B:
After this update, I will have to add the promised features

----------, Oct 26, 2020

Updated to 1.16.3 and added the support to next versions

Minor update to fix a bug reported by @Govindas.

You can run it to the latest (1.16.3) Minecraft version.
Now the plugin tries to startup if the server version is not supported.

I will start intensive development after the 30 December.

Thanks to all those that have been bought the plugin after the release of the first Reworked version.

----------, Sep 26, 2020

ParadiseLand Reworked ALPHA 1.0.0 has been released!

Wait, a new version? What damn is ParadiseLand-Reworked?

Welcome to the official page of the ParadiseLand world generator. I'll illustrate some things...
You have to know that the first version of this plugin was developed in 2015 and distributed on Spigot on 24 August 2016. It has been designed to generate floating worlds to a very old Minecraft version and it has been updated until 30 December 2019 to the latest (1.15.2) flat Minecraft version. But there was a lot of issues with this generator that cannot be fixed with a "patch". So I needed a way to solve these issues and gets the perfect generator. After some rethinking, I had finally got the decision to rewrite it from scratch. Thinking what other generator plugins hadn't, I had got an idea. These plugins are invasive and modify some server class and can be harmful to other plugins, every version of it is specific for a little range of Spigot/Paper versions, they are very slow to generate the world and prone to crash.

ParadiseLand-Reworked try to solve and relieve these problems with the async engine generator that underlies the plugin. It works with the support of a local database to keep and saves chunks that will be generated asynchronously from Spigot/Paper generation. In the next updates, you will be able to generate a lot of chunks asynchronously into the RAM to keep up the server tick without smoothly.

Alpha status

ParadiseLand-ALPHA-1.0.0

This is the first version and is skinny of functionalities and features. You can evaluate it as "the developer is still alive? Yes, I'm not dead, for now...". The generator works from 1.8.8 to 1.16.2 Spigot and PaperSpigot versions. Remember that the most recent is the Spigot/Paper version that you are using, fastest the generation will be!

CPU usages
Here are the times are given by "done" result when the server is loading. The world is generated with the same seed for each version.
- Legacy versions
  - Spigot 1.8.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 59 seconds (single-thead generation)
  - Spigot 1.9.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 1 minute and 5 seconds (single-thead generation)
  - Spigot 1.10.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 1 minute and 3 seconds (single-thead generation)
  - Spigot 1.11.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 1 minute and 5 seconds (single-thead generation)
  - Paper 1.12.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 32 seconds (multi-thread generation)
- Flat versions
  - Spigot 1.13.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 28 seconds (single-thead generation)
  - Paper 1.13.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 6 seconds (multi-thead generation)
  - Paper 1.14.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 16 seconds (multi-thead generation)
  - Paper 1.15.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 10 seconds (multi-thead generation)
  - Paper 1.16.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 10 seconds (multi-thead generation)
  - Spigot 1.16.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: about 22 seconds (single-thead generation)
N.B
● single-thread means that the server will generate the world a chunk at a time.
● multi-thread means that the server will generate the world with more efficiency by the asynchronous chunk generation. It is better than the first.

RAM usages
The RAM usage is 1 GB during a heavy chunk generation with WorldBorder plugin. I suggest you to use almost 2 GB of RAM to feel comfortable.

The previous results will be registered on AMD Ryzen 3900x (4.7GHz, 12 cores and 24 threads) with 16 GB of RAM at 3600MHz. Let me know how it runs on your configuration!

What's missing?
- A lot of terrain decorations such as ores, plantain and flowers...
- Creatures spawning.
- Some incorrect blocks rotation when a schematic is rotated.
- A lot of biomes. In this version there are only 2 by default.
- Pathways, villages and ruins.
- The eather portal
- Some things that will be added in the future. Suggest it in the plugin discussion!
Here are two screenshots were taken with Chunky

Requirements

Minimum java version » 8

Minimum requirements » You need a good CPU with almost 4 cores at 3GHz and 4 GB of RAM.
Please don't report a timeout exception.

At least 15/20 free gigabytes on your hard disk to save the ParadiseLand database.

Installation

IMPORTANT » The reworked version isn't compatible with the old!

Stop the server and make a backup!

Delete the old ParadiseLand plugin and its folder.

Put the plugin jar file into the /plugins directory.

Start the server.

How to generate the world

You can generate the ParadiseLand world with these methods:

With a world managment plugin like Multiverse-Core
/mv create paradise normal -g ParadiseLand:eden.yml

In bukkit.yml add this at the end of the configuration file:

Code (Text):

worlds:
worldName:
generator: ParadiseLand:eden.yml

Configurations

Coming soon...

----------, Aug 23, 2020

Updated to 1.15

The plugin is now supported from the 1.13 to 1.15 version.
There are no bugs fixes. I'm working on a new rewritten version that will be supporting the legacy versions of the game from the 1.8.8 to the newest.

Updated to 1.14 and more features

Added compatibility with spigot 1.14-pre5 and 1.14.

Backup and delete the old ParadiseLand folder!

List of bug and issue fixed:

Some grass decay on ground
Improved configuration reading to explain better any error
MCEdit schematic rotation

List of new features:

Sponge schematic support (.schem files)
Added jungle and bamboo jungle (1.14 only)
Added mobs in each biome
Added /pland command (see plugin overview for more information)
Added mobs in biome configurations but NBT don't work yet

List of changes for Eden generator:

In each biome the property "config_version" is now 2
Added "mc_version" property to specify the minimum supported version for the biome
Added "entities" property to specify the entities for the biome

1.14 seems to generate the world very faster than 1.13.

----------, May 2, 2019

Updated to 1.13

Finally this is first 1.13 compatible version of Paradise Land. It still lacks of many functionalities. Please read the plugin overview for more informations and details.

Please report any bug, issue and problem here providing the world's seed and the stack trace from the log.
I suggest to generate the world with Spigot vanilla (it seems to be faster).
