Terratonic

Terratonic (v3.0.18) by ApolloUnknownDev is a modified version of the Tectonic terrain shaper with built-in Terralith compatibility. It dramatically reshapes terrain into continent-scale landmasses with massive mountain ranges.

What It Does

Terratonic combines Tectonic's terrain shaping with modifications to work seamlessly alongside Terralith. Without Terratonic, using Tectonic + Terralith together results in broken world generation.

Key Features

Continent-Scale Terrain

  • Terrain forms into continent-like landmasses thousands to tens of thousands of blocks wide
  • Creates a more realistic, geography-driven world feel

Massive Mountain Ranges

  • Mountain ranges stretching tens of thousands of blocks
  • Mountains approach the build limit
  • Multi-tiered with 2-3 tiered plateaus

Ocean Overhaul

  • Oceans are much deeper, extending into the deepslate layer
  • More varied underwater terrain with overhangs and valleys

Underground Rivers

  • In mountainous terrain too tall for surface rivers, rivers carve underground
  • Underground rivers connect seamlessly to surface rivers

Biome-Specific Terrain

Biome Terrain Feature
Jungles Massive pillars 100+ blocks tall
Badlands Very large canyons with arches
Deserts Smooth rolling dunes
Forests Wetland areas with frequent ponds

Additional Features

  • Megacaves
  • Glacial spikes
  • Lava tunnel systems in deep underground
  • Island mountains (with Terralith: Calderas and Volcanoes on islands)

New Worlds Only

Do NOT add Terratonic to pre-existing worlds. This will cause large, ugly chunk borders where old and new terrain meet.
