How to Start a World with Continents Generation
Creating Your Continental World
Once the Continents Mod is installed, launch your game and access the standard world generation menu:
1. Select Singleplayer and click Create New World.
2. Configure your desired game difficulty, world name, and general settings.
3. Click Create New World to finalize generation.
The mod automatically restructures world generation in the background. Instead of standard land distribution, it forms distinct, separated continents of varying shapes and sizes, separated by vast oceans and scattered with diverse islands.
Surviving Your Starting Island
When loading into your new world, the mod places your initial spawn point on a medium-sized island rather than directly on a massive mainland:
- Survey the Island: Medium islands typically provide starting essentials such as trees and basic passive mobs. Establish a small camp immediately.
- Harvest Wood and Food: Gather sufficient timber to craft basic tools, a crafting table, and boats for open-water navigation.
- Plan Your Departure: The mod's main landmasses are separated by broad oceans. Look across the horizon from elevated ground to spot neighboring islands or distant shorelines before taking to the sea.
