About this Mod
My overworld terrain generation mod for map makers, as well as HQM packs, to use in making a overworld with nothing of value to be found. Simply choose 'Wastelands' as your world type and then start (in creative) to create the starter structures for your map.
The intended use was for a small Ex nihilo based map I wanted to play with. However this may also be good to ensure the overworld is barren and just have some temple to access The Twilight or some other dimension the player is actually supposed to survive in.
Originally released to my CurseForge account, Mirroring here for better archival
