Overview

Minecraft builds its hills out of dirt with a thin layer of grass on top. That works on gentle ground, but wherever the land drops away sharply you are left looking at a wall of bare dirt - something a real hillside almost never shows, because loose soil cannot cling to a steep face and the rock underneath ends up exposed.

Stony Cliffs Are Cool adds that missing step. As terrain generates, dirt sitting on a steep exposed face is replaced with stone, so ridges, terraces and cut-away slopes come out with proper rock faces.

Frequently asked questions

What problem does Stony Cliffs Are Cool fix in Minecraft's terrain?
It fixes steep hillsides that show bare dirt walls with only a thin grass cap, replacing that exposed dirt with stone so slopes look like real rocky cliffs.
How does the mod decide where to place stone?
During world generation it looks for exposed dirt on a steep face where stone already sits behind or above it, and swaps those dirt blocks for stone.
Does the mod change the shape of the terrain?
No, the shape of the terrain, the flat ground, and the grass on top all stay exactly as vanilla generated them.
Does Stony Cliffs Are Cool add new blocks or features?
No, it only replaces exposed dirt blocks with stone and adds nothing else.
