Continents

Continents is a WorldGen project addon able to force your world to generate with large oceans, with biomes and lands generating as continents, archipelagos and islands for your world to stay playable. It was made to be compatible with any existing WorldGen mod, including Terralith, and is compatible with the Vanilla large biomes world type. Continents also makes sure players wouldn't be unlucky by making them spawn on an at least medium-sized continent.

Compatibilities

Continents is compatible with all Stardust Labs projects on any available versions. The only Stardust Labs projects that cannot be used together are Incendium and Amplified Nether. It was made with the intent of being compatible with most WorldGen Datapacks and Mods without Terrablender by rearranging the distribution of Vanilla biomes to make oceans more common and the placement of land more sparse. Terralith was modified to work flawlessly with Continents, meanwhile the quality of the terrain might differ with other Overworld WorldGen Datapacks or Mods, it should work with any other Datapacks or Mods that doesn't expressly target the Overworld's Vanilla biomes' distribution. WolrdGen plugins aren't and will not be supported.

Because Continents only changes makes oceans more common without touching the biomes distribution, using the same seed will result in the same landmasses and regions being in the same place even if using other WorldGen mods.
