I tried that recently but I found the landscape generation to be really poor. I tried all the various generators, to no avail.

It's been a while since I played Minecraft but I can't recall the maps being that poorly constructed.

It really distracted me from the game, to the point I stopped after just a few hours.

Rest was pretty good tho, so a shame.

i found a server with a nice community, which is what keeps me playing. but to start my own world i'd wish for better map generators. more realistic mountains, rivers, climates, etc.

and maybe some powerful tools would be nice, to efficiently build streets or dig new rivers, grow mountains, ... so you can efficiently create a map by hand, or modify a map to add or remove features.

fortunately, new map generators are being worked on, so there is hope for the future.
