Discontinued.
If you are interested in quite a similar style, feel free to check my newer mods, Woodlands
Smooth and contrasting landscape, very realistic, but still minecrafty features-all is here to delight your eyes! Are you ready to explore the world of traveler's dreams?
Traveler's Dream (I will call it TD for convenience) is a preset for random world generation, made using Open Terrain Generator mod.OTG mod is required.If you decide to use OTG v8+, install Biome Colorizer mod as well to make biomes look as intended!
*Traveler's Dream was made using Open Terrain Generator v6 , it isn't looking as intended with newest OTG v8+ without Biome Colorizer mod.It's better to use OTG v6 if it is possible.
Compact Version with much more free ids!
There were a lot of complaints about too few free biome ids, so I decided to make a compact edition of the preset.I did my best to save the visual part of biomes and free as much ids as possible.
99% biomes are still here! Changes mostly affected their names and ids, and colors (just a bit).
The preset looks almost the same.All important biomes with forge dictionary tags were saved for better compatibility with mods.
At about 40 biome ids were made free!
Now you can have at about 80 free ids for other mods, which is enough for several big mods at once that add biomes to other dimensions!
Remember, that biomes from other mods will not spawn in the overworld!
Try not to use overworld biome mods,if you don't 100% need blocks from them.
Also:
JEID is not working with OTG!
(I'm not 100% sure, but it doesn't work for me and some other people at all)
Now finding biomes with Nature Compass is harder.Much more biomes are virtual.
I'm not going to make any more biomes virtual, this will ruin visual climate differences, tags system, biome colors completely!
However in the future there will be a crossover version of Traveler's Dream and my work-in-progress mod,that will add tons of saplings,wood,planks,flowers,herbs,decorations etc. This will help to free new large portion of ids!
I hope you will enjoy the game;)

How to add biomes from other mods into the OTG world?
(for OTG v8.3)
P.S. Every particular mod will require some knowledge about that mod biome properties, mobs spawning etc.
Every mod acts a bit different when it comes to worldgen.
This guide is an example and contains information about basic steps.
Firstly, it's better to install TellMe mod.It is a very useful mod, that will help to get registry names and other needed information.
This guide explains how to add Vampire Forest from Vampirism mod into the Traveler's Dream Preset.
Firstly:
Start a world with TD, TellMe and Vampirism installed.
Execute commands:
/tellme dump biomes
and
/tellme dump entities.
Data dumps will be in the Tellme folder inside the config folder.
1) Go to \mods\OpenTerrainGenerator\worlds\TravelersDreamCompact\ (or ThaumicTravelersDreamCompact if you use it). Open WorldConfig.ini with Notepad++/Kate in Linux (or other good text program).
Find biome groups and write the name of our future biome in some groups (where you want it to appear):
name: Vampire Forest
This will add our future biome to the worldgen.
2) Go to \mods\OpenTerrainGenerator\worlds\TravelersDreamCompact\WorldBiomes (or ThaumicTravelersDreamCompact if you use it).Choose the biome you want to see as terrain base, e.g. Forest.
Make a copy of this .bc file and name it "Vampire Forest".
Open the "Vampire Forest.bc".
Place selected lines here and there:
lines :
ReplaceToBiomeName: vampirism:vampireforest
BiomeDictId: vampirism:vampireforest
InheritMobsBiomeName: vampirism:vampireforest
NOTE: this is a registry name for Vampirism biome.To find the needed biome registry name, look at the Tellme biome dump.
This will make OTG Vampire Forest to use Vampirism name and some features.
NOTE: Some mods may spawn their own terrain decoration features like trees by themselves, like Biomes O'Plenty does.Others will not, that's why we need to use a biome from TD as a template with premade trees etc.If you want to change some terrain features, you can use other TD biome, e.g. Old Coniferous Forest or another. Decoration ot terrain features can be changed manually in biome .bc file , info about that can be found on the OTG wiki.
This will spawn such pretty guys in our forest:
Now all mobs from Vampirism are shown with OTG command /otg biome -m :
That's may be enough for some mods.But, Vampirism surprises us: vampires in the Vampire Forest need special block, Cursed Earth, as a surface block (instead of grass) to spawn.
To adjust that, we'll need to change some lines in the Vampire Forest.bc again:
(again registry name, this time for a block)
And adjust trees in the biome resources section:
Unfortunately,this leads to only small vanilla oak in our forest, as it was designed by mod author.But now Vampires spawn correctly.
We can try to add Cursed Earth to the permitted blocks to TD forest trees to have them, but that will require all these BO3 objects above(forest4,forest5,etc) to be edited.You can look into OTG wiki to find, how it could be done.Look into the BO3 section.
NOTE: if monsters from another mod will not spawn, you can :
* mess with setting of biome dictionary: set DENSE, FOREST, MAGICAL, SPOOKY in the line BiomeDictId: (the end of the .bc biome file)
NOTE: these tags can be found in TellMe biome dump for any biome.
* manually set all needed monsters in the mob config (the end of the biome .bc file).Look at how it is done for Thaumcraft:
Values are found by experiments.
Names can be found by using TellMe Mod and executing /tellme dump entities in the entitties dump:
Choose the names after "vampirism:" prefix from the second column, like "ghost".
If this isn't working, choose from the second, but for Thaumcraft the first one was right.
3) When changing some terrain settings and checking them ingame, you will need to manually delete "region" folder from the test world save to force it regenerate it's features.
4) NOTE: This part is about some unique features that the mod can add in it's biome.Sometimes we will not be able to recreate them with OTG.
Terrafirmacraft for example doesn't allow it's climate features to be added into OTG biomes.
Sun protection.It seems to work by itself without issues, but if you will find some, it can be set manually in vampirism config:
you will need to write the biome registry name there. The name in this example will be
openterraingenerator:overworld_vampire_forest
DESCRIPTION
Traveler's Dream is a very detailed and realistic world generator, which represents amazing diversity of biomes, inspired by Earth magnificent landscapes with a pinch of fantasy.
There are also a few biomes to pay tribute to good old days Biome Mods, such as Highlands and elder versions of Biomes O'Plenty. These biomes are not copies, they just have been inspired by their prototypes, which I used to love a lot:)
If you want numbers, here they are:
There are 16 climate zones, each one has it's own unique flora, varying landscape from plains and forests to hills and mountains, often going high enough to have snow on their top, rivers, lakes, swampy biomes.
Let's look briefly on them:
Ice (a lot of fantastical things here to spice up this freezing land)
Snowy (winter is coming!)
Cold (meet the outstanding atmosphere of summertime Iceland!)
Boreal (taiga in it's full bloom to represent boreal zones, like in Scotland, Scandinavian countries, northern Russia, alpine zone)
Temperate (typical appearance for temperate zones of Earth, like in northern North America, southern Canada, northern Europe and most of Russia territories)
Classic (the most minecraft-style zone)
Normal (also minecrafty, but more unusual and chilly)
Lush (green and lush, quite warm and unique biomes)
Warm (mediterranean landscapes with absolutely charming atmosphere)
East (breathtaking landscapes of southern Asia, especially China)
West ("Wild West", mesa, steppe, arid North American forests and red deserts)
Arid (arid climate zone, like in Africa, some parts of Australia-savannas,tropical forests etc)
Desert (Desert biome, it was too big to fit into Arid zone...)
Jungle (tropical zone with dense jungle, rainforests etc)
Tropical (paradise with tropical islands, palms, sand and marine climate)
Ocean (just an Ocean...Deep and big Ocean. Survival Islands included)
There are also some changes about ore generation,check local zones below for more information.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Thaumcraft Special Edition!
I made a special edition for better compatibility with Thaumcraft mod, which adds some Thaumcraft features and pretty Magical Forest biome to OTG preset, very similar to original, but with a touch of TD style:)
You can download Thaumic Traveller's Dream pack here:
Does not work for the new TD versions.
For the best experience I also made a small, lightweight resource pack to use with Traveler's Dream and Thaumic Traveler's Dream. There are just a few improvements, which make TD biomes more authentic to the real world prototypes.This resourcepack doesn't add any block textures (except jungle leaves texture), so it can be used easily with any other resource pack! Just place it above any desired resource pack in the appropriate menu, like that:
and you'll get something like this:
If you don't want to have vanilla-like jungle leaves with other resource pack installed, feel free to remove it texture, following this path inside resource pack .zip : /assets/minecraft/textures/blocks/leaves_jungle.png (you may unzip it and work with the folder).
Traveler's Dream resource pack changes:
v1.1
v1.0

You will need Optifine (MCPatcher may work,but I'm not sure about it, I prefer Optifine) for the resource pack to function.

Custom trees and Treecapitator
As this preset uses very complex, big and beautiful custom trees, and leaves are often non-decaying, you would need Treecapitator to cut them:
I tried to adapt Treecapitator configs for the size of most trees and also to make it work with some special trees.
However, it's not ideal. You can always change configs as you want.
