FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I just tried Mapgen Version 7 and I got nothing but stone, even when flying in Creative for ages. I think this is pointless because you can't make pickaxes or anything. Say what you think.

Mapgen V7 isn't finished (at least I think so), but the landscape is great! I think I saw rivers :O

mgv7 is currently in development, you shouldnt use it if you dont know what you are doing.

Sorry, it's just I have seen screenshots where it is all lovely grass and trees.

Use PilzTest (by PilzAdam) or Mind-Mi (by me, see my github), which are games compatible with MGv7.

Just wanted to interject here and say, that mgen7 does look really nice. I have no idea how you guys manage to do that, but at it's current pace it will be quite amazing.

If people want to see mapgen v7 themselves with proper biomes: https://github.com/PilzAdam/pilztest
Its a (not yet released) game by me.
It requires a somewhat up-to-date build of the Minetest engine.

Well my mind is blown, V7 is epic, i can tell you that hmmmm is my mapgen hero.

Is the Mapgen v7 still unreleased in version 0.4.9? biomes compatible with v7 aren't provided in the regular distribution? If the answer is no, can they be installed as mod just as snow mod gives support for v7?

I noticed it is in the TODO list to add the biomes, then the logical questions are:
* Any estimation when they will be included?
* Can they be found elsewhere in the maintime?

To experience v7, use PilzAdam's Nodetopia game, or one of the lua mapgens

The biomes will be included when someone feels like. =P

In Freeminer, mapgen v7 has biomes in it.

In the meantime ... my mod 'paragenv7' adds an 8 biome system to mapgenv7 https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7366

Thank you all for the answers, paramat mod is what I was looking for :D
