Generating Jungles (and other non-default biomes)

[Nightshade]

Ok, so I'm kind of a noob when it comes to working with any kind of code... I want to make my maps generate jungles, and I read on the wiki that I need to add an mg_flag to minetest.conf. What I don't know is if I need to add anything else to minetest.conf or if it's just "mg_flag = v6_jungles". Also, after I add what I need to add, will it just generate jungles in new worlds, or will it act on existing ones too? Same goes for other non-default biomes (like dungeons).

The setting is "mg_flags", not "mg_flag".

Also, you may want to add other stuff to it as well:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

mg_flags = trees, caves, dungeons, v6_jungles


This will only work for new worlds though.

You can also modify mg_flags in the map_meta.txt file in the world folder, but it will only apply to newly generated terrain.

Thanks! If I don't add anything else, will it only generate jungles?

It will generate normal terrain, but omit the items you don't specify (i.e. trees, caves, etc).
It will still generate deserts, beaches, etc.
