You can have 5 biome generators and 3 height generators and you can let the users mix'n'match.</p> +<p>This pipeline had been used in Cuberite for about a year, before we realized that is has a flaw: There is no way for it to generate overhangs. We tried to implement a Finisher that would actually carve overhangs into the terrain; this approach has several problems, most severe one of those is that tree and village generation becomes unbelievably difficult - those finishers need to know the basic terrain composition of the neighboring chunks in order to generate, and the composition would be different after the overhangs are carved. So we need to come up with a better way, something that directly generates the overhangs at latest by the Terrain composition stage.</p> +<p>Luckily we have just the thing. Instead of generating a 2D heightmap, we generate a 3D "density map" - we decide about each block in the chunk being generated, whether it is a solid block or an air block.

However, we pay the price for this in performance, because a 3D noise for the density map needs order of magnitude more CPU cycles than 2D noise for heightmap. Also the RAM usage is increased because instead of storing 16 * 16 height values we need to store 16 * 256 * 16 density values. </p> <hr /> <a name="coherentnoise"><h2>Using coherent noise for the generation</h2></a> -<p>For a great tutorial on coherent noise, see the <a href="http://libnoise.sourceforge.net/">LibNoise -documentation</a>.</p> +<p>For a great tutorial on coherent noise, see the <a href="http://libnoise.sourceforge.net/">LibNoise documentation</a>.</p> <p>Coherent noise is a type of noise that has three important properties that we can use to our advantage: <ul> -<li>The noise is smooth</li> -<li>The noise is algorithmically generated, which means that the same data is generated when the same -parameters are given to the noise functions.</li> +<li>The noise is smooth - small change in the input coord produces only a small change in the output value</li> +<li>The noise is algorithmically generated, which means that the same data is generated when the same inputs are given to the noise functions.</li> <li>The noise can be seamlessly extended in any direction</li> </ul></p> -<p>We'll be mostly using Perlin noise in this article.

Internally, it uses 2D arrays of integers of varying sizes, and defines a few operations on those arrays. At various points in the generator's pipeline, the integers are interpreted as having a different meaning. At the first stage, they diffentiate between ocean and land. Later on they are interpreted as biome groups - ocean biomes, dry biomes, temperate biomes, mountain biomes or ice biomes. In the final stages they represent individual biomes, each number in the array representing the biome of a single-block-wide column in the world. Still, most of the operations are agnostic of this interpretation, they only "see numbers".</p> +<p>At the core of the generator is the <b>"Zoom"</b> operation, that enlarges the array almost twice in size (N -> 2*N - 1). For each 2x2 neighboring numbers in the original array it produces a 3x3 array, where the corner values inherit from their corner counterparts of the original array, and the values in the middle get chosen randomly from their appropriate neighbors:</p> +<table><tr> +<td><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"><tr><td>a</td><td>b</td></tr><tr><td>c</td><td>d</td></tr></table></td> +<td>--- zooom --></td> +<td><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> + <tr><td align="center">a</td><td align="center">a or b</td><td align="center">b</td></tr> + <tr><td align="center">a or c</td><td align="center">a or b or c or d</td><td align="center">b or d</td></tr> + <tr><td align="center">c</td><td align="center">c or d</td><td align="center">d</td></tr> +</table></td> +</tr></table> + +<style> + .h1 { background-color: #cff; } + .hh { background-color: #fcf; } + .hv { background-color: #ffc; } + .ho { background-color: #fff; } + .hr { background-color: #ddd; } + .bgr { width: 1em; height: 1em; background-color: red; } + .bgg { width: 1em; height: 1em; background-color: green; } + .bgb { width: 1em; height: 1em; background-color: blue; } + .bgc { width: 1em; height: 1em; background-color: cyan; } + .bgy { width: 1em; height: 1em; background-color: yellow; } +</style> + +<p>This scheme is repeated for larger arrays accordingly, for example (highlighted values are the ones directly copied from the source array):</p> +<table> +<tr> +<td><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> + <tr><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>1</td><td>1</td></tr> + <tr><td>0</td><td>1</td><td>0</td><td>1</td></tr> + <tr><td>1</td><td>1</td><td>0</td><td>0</td></tr> + <tr><td>0</td><td>1</td><td>1</td><td>0</td></tr> +</table></td> +<td>--- Zooom --></td> +<td><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> + <tr><td class="h1">0</td><td>0</td><td class="h1">0</td><td>1</td><td class="h1">1</td><td>1</td><td class="h1">1</td></tr> + <tr><td> 0</td><td>1</td><td> 0</td><td>1</td><td> 0</td><td>1</td><td> 1</td></tr> + <tr><td class="h1">0</td><td>0</td><td class="h1">1</td><td>1</td><td class="h1">0</td><td>0</td><td class="h1">1</td></tr> + <tr><td> 0</td><td>1</td><td> 1</td><td>1</td><td> 0</td><td>0</td><td> 1</td></tr> + <tr><td class="h1">1</td><td>1</td><td class="h1">1</td><td>0</td><td class="h1">0</td><td>0</td><td class="h1">0</td></tr> + <tr><td> 1</td><td>1</td><td> 1</td><td>1</td><td> 0</td><td>0</td><td> 0</td></tr> + <tr><td class="h1">0</td><td>0</td><td class="h1">1</td><td>1</td><td class="h1">1</td><td>1</td><td class="h1">0</td></tr> +</table></td> +</tr></table> +<p>The basic idea is that we're having a low-resolution image of the "land" and we're zooming in; in each zoom iteration we're adding random details - the randomly chosen numbers.

There's where the second most important operation comes in: the <b>"Smooth"</b> slightly reduces the array size (N -> N - 2), losing the values on the edge of the array, and for the internal numbers it considers their 4 neighbors. If both the horizontal neighbors are the same and the vertical neighbors are the same (but not necessarily the same as the horizontal ones), the value is set randomly to either the horizontal or the vertical neihbors' value. If both the horizontal neighbors are the same, the value is set to the value of those neighbors, otherwise if both the vertical neighbors are the same, the value is set to the value of those neighbors. In all the rest cases, the value is kept at its original.</p> +<table><tr> +<td><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> + <tr><td align="center"></td><td align="center">a</td><td

pass, so it usually isn't used more than once after each zoom.</p> +<p>One important thing to note is that both the Zoom and Smooth operations only output the numbers already present in the array, they don't create new numbers. This is important because it allows the late stages of the generator to grow indepent biomes next to each other without them "bleeding" into different biomes on their edges.</p> +<p>The Grown generator uses several more supplementary operations, such as "AddIslands", "ReplaceRandomly", "River", "Beaches" and more. There isn't anything too special to those, they perform mostly trivial operations, manipulating the numbers in some way; the main power of the generator lies in the zoom and smooth operations. Perhaps noteworthy is the generation of rivers: it starts with the regular bitmap (only 0 and 1 used), zooms in and smooths for a while and then performs edge detection - a river biome is set in pixels whose neighbors are different, and no change applied when the neighbors are the same. Among other things, this means that there are actually two chains of array operations, and their results are combined together in the "MixRivers" operation.</p> +<p>The following table summarizes the operations, visually:</p> +<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1"> +<tr><th>Operation</th><th>Input 1</th><th>Input 2</th><th>Output</th><th>Notes</th></tr> +<tr> + <td>AddIslands</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in1.png"/></td> + <td>-</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_add_islands.png"/></td> + <td>Adds a configurable (by percentage) amount of islands to ocean biome group.</td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>AlternateBiomes</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in3.png"/></td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in_alt.png"/></td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_alt_biomes.png"/></td> + <td>Mostly copies the first input, but where the second input has non-ocean biome group, turns the first input's biomes into their alternatives.</td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>Beaches</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in3.png"/></td> + <td>-</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_beaches.png"/></td> + <td>Any biome neighboring an ocean is turned into a corresponding beach.</td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>BiomeEdges</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in3.png"/></td> + <td>-</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_biome_edges.png"/></td> + <td>If the neighbors of a biome are incompatible (such as desert vs ice plains, or jungle vs anything etc.), turns the biome into a corresponding neutral biome (plains, jungle-edge etc.)</td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>Biomes</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in2.png"/></td> + <td>-</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_biomes.png"/></td> + <td>Input is interpreted as biome groups, for each point a random biome corresponding to the group is chosen for the output.</td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>BiomeGroupEdges</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in1.png"/></td> + <td>-</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_grp_edges.png"/></td> + <td>Converts biome groups on an edge between two incompatible groups (such as desert and ice) into a neutral one (temperate).</td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>MBiomes</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in3.png"/></td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in_alt.png"/></td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_m_biomes.png"/></td> + <td>Where the second input is zero, copies the first input's biomes; where the second input is nonzero, converts first input's biomes into their M variants. </td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>MixRivers</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in3.png"/></td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in_river.png"/></td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_mix_river.png"/></td> + <td>Copies first input's biomes into the output, unless there's a river biome in the second input and a land biome in the first input - then it sets a river biome in the output instead.</td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>River</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in2.png"/></td> + <td>-</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_river.png"/></td> + <td>Somewhat of an edge detector - wherever the input has a different biome neighbors, sets a river biome; otherwise sets an ocean biome.</td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>SetRandomly</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_in3.png"/></td> + <td>-</td> + <td><img src="img/grownexample_set_rnd.png"/></td> + <td>Randomly sets points to a specified biome.

There are the cProtIntGen class descendants, which are used for prototyping the connections between the operations - it's easy to just chain several operations after each other and they automatically use the correct array dimensions. However, it is possible to further optimize the calculations by moving the array dimensions into template parameters (so that they are, in fact, constant from the code's point of view, and so highly optimizable). This is what the cIntGen class descendants do. Unfortunately, this optimization makes it difficult to change the operation chain - when a new operation is added or removed in the chain, the array sizes for the rest of the chain change and they all have to be updated manually. So the optimal strategy was to use the cProtIntGen classes to find out the best-looking combination of operations, and once the combination was found, to rewrite it using cIntGen classes for performance. +</p> + + <hr /> <a name="heightgen"><h2>Terrain height</h2></a> @@ -508,11 +638,15 @@ spring:</p> <p>Cuberite uses an approximation of the above curves to choose the height at which to generate the spring.</p> -<!-- <h3>Caves</h3> <p>Caves are definitely one of the main things people notice about MineCraft terrain.
