About this Mod
Random world names
Generates random world names for the world creation screen. Just New World gets boring after a while, doesn't it?
The default list of names allows for over 10 billion different combinations.
There are only two cases the default name is used:
- Either your computer is too slow to generate a new name within the configured time limit (default 2 seconds)
- Or you have so many worlds that no unique combinations could be found
Configuration (from version 1.1.0)
Config file
The config file (as of version 1.1.0) offers the following options:
| Name | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
name_length |
The number of words (name entries) to generate a name from | 3 |
delimiter |
The delimiter to use for joining the entries | (Space) |
timeout |
The generation timeout (seconds) | 2 |
In-Game configuration is possible if ModMenu is installed.

Additional names can be added using resource packs, and unwanted packs may be blacklisted.
