Minecraft plugin Biome Terrain Mod ported to Beta


As of today, prolific Minecrafter R-T-B has ported the popular plugin Biome Terrain Mod to Beta 1.2 (the latest version). Miners rejoice! You can once again generate outlandish chunks, like Avatar-esque floating islands (pictured). R-T-B says he plans at least one bugfix release before soliciting donations for continued development.

He mentions in that thread that he runs a Minecraft hosting solution, so this could be an important precedent in the Minecraft community. Server hosting providers not only have a vested interest in keeping MC administration easy and feature-laden, they also have the technical chops to keep popular plugins from falling into disrepair.

Thanks for the hard work, R-T-B!

  1. That sounds really awesome. I've been wanting to get into minecraft esp., after Victoria showed me the stuff she has been doing. I regret not getting the game pre-beta though. I heard now they will charge for updates. LAME!

  2. That's not true. You get all updates free including the final release version. Alpha users only get more stuff IF they release some expansion pack that costs money.
