What is OTG?

Open Terrain Generator is a fully customizable world generation mod/plugin. Through its configuration files it gives the user control over almost every aspect of Minecraft's world generation, allowing you to generate anything from floating islands to cave worlds with no knowledge of Java required.

OTG is just an engine, to make use of its functions you must either install a World Preset (see Installing World Presets) or make your own custom World Preset (see Configuration below or in Navigation bar at the top). OTG supports both Paper (servers) and Forge (servers and single-player).
