TerrainControl was founded by Khoorn as a Bukkit plugin. At first, it was just called "PhoenixTerrainMod", after the mod it was based on. Around October 2011 Khoorn renamed the plugin to TerrainControl. When TerrainControl 2.0 was released around March 2012, single player support was re-added. Near the end of 2012, Rutger joined the project and halfway 2013 Timethor joined. At the end of 2013, Khoorn left the TerrainControl project.

2.7.2 for Spigot 1.8.8 and Forge 1.8.0

Fixed an important bug on Forge where material names could not be written correctly to the config files.
Now requires a Spigot 1.8.8 build, compiled in august 2015 or later. This new Spigot build allowed us to add/fix the following things:
SurfaceBlock, GroundBlock, StoneBlock, WaterBlock, IceBlock and BedrockobBlock now support block data (like STONE:5).
SurfaceAndGroundControl is now applied during initial terrain generation, instead of just before population. This results in a speed improvement and makes the setting also work below terrain overhangs.
Improved performance for the Spigot version.

2.7.1 for Spigot 1.8.4 - 1.8.8 and Forge 1.8.0

Updated to be compatible with Spigot 1.8.4 to 1.8.8. Spigot 1.8.3 and older are no longer supported.

Updated the default settings to match Minecraft 1.8. (There are still a few small differences.)

The NonSolid keyword can now be used to check for any nonsolid block.
Added ExtrudeMode and ExtrudeThroughBlocks to BO3s, used to repeat the first or last layer of a BO3 until it hits the ground/ceiling.
Worlds called test will work again.
Custom trees (BO2 or BO3) with a 2x2 trunk are now rotated correctly, so that the trunk aligns with the four saplings.

Biome inheritance
- If a biome has a value for BiomeExtends, it will copy all missing settings from the biome listed in BiomeExtends.

Biome ids
- Extended biome id limit to 1023.
- Biomes with ids 256 - 1023 cannot be saved by Minecraft, so they need to have a ReplaceToBiomeName setting that replaces the biome to a biome in the 0 - 255 id range.

- Deprecated block ids, they will be autoconverted to block names.
Folder structure

2.3.1 (development version) for Minecraft 1.3.2 (MP also for 1.3.1)

Warning: extremely experimental! Don't use this on live servers!

Now there is two bo2 directories : GlobalObjects - store in plugin dir. and WorldObjects store in world dir.
All objects in WorldObjects directory works like in 2.2 versions if resources with bo2 have "UseWorld" word.
All objects in GlobalObjects directory works like in 2.3.0 version. So use "UseBiome" word or add objects directly to resource.
Old BOBPlugins directory will automatically renamed to WorldObjects
Old CustomObject() resource will automatically converted to CustomObject(UseWorld)
Object setting spawnOnBlockType now may contain "All" and "Solid" words. This add all default blocks or all solid default blocks. You may use it with other blocks too.
Added new object setting - collisionBlockType - collisions will be only with that list. Word "All" and "Solid" works here too. Default value = "All"
Added new object setting - spawnAboveGround - this will try spawn object on solid block. Useful if you want spawn some thing in ocean floor. Defaul value = false
Added new object setting - spawnUnderGround - this will try spawn object under solid block. Object height will be random from spawnElevationMin to spawnElevationMax, sure if this settings less than highest solid block. Default value = false
Changed sapling settings and now it is resource. Syntax = tree resource instead first argument. If first argument = "All" this resource will work with any sapling types. Else first argument must contain sapling type ( sapling block data). Does not work with data = 4 ( bukkit limitation :( ). You may add different resources for different saplings types.
Changes block replace setting for solve some conflicts. Examples is in config file. Old settings will be automatically updated.

2.3.0 (development version) for Minecraft 1.3.2 (MP also for 1.3.1)

Warning: extremely experimental! Don't use this on live servers!

BO2 files moved to a global folder: the CustomObjects folder.
To add a BO2 to your world, there are now several options:
- Add it to a list in the WorldConfig and use the SpawnInBiome option in the BO2 files.
- Add it to the CustomObjects setting or to the Tree setting to spawn at world generation, or to SaplingSettings to spawn it from saplings. You can UseWorld instead of a BO2 name to spawn the BO2s in the list in the WorldConfig and UseBiome to spawn the BO2s in the list in the BiomeConfigs.
You can now override BO2 settings, use object_name(dig=False;underFill=False;Tree=False) instead of object_name.
ModeBiome and ModeTerrain (WorldConfig) have been renamed to BiomeMode and TerrainMode.
Added SettingsMode to disable the comments or to disable all writing to the settings files (so that you can keep your own comments.)
Tried to add Tekkit support.

Phoenix Terrain Mod

Somewhere around Minecraft Beta 1.4, R-T-B renamed the project to Phoenix Terrain Mod (see the forum thread). I couldn't find a changelog for this versions. Because of a death in his family when Minecraft Beta 1.8 was released he did not have enough time to update it to the completely new terrain generator of 1.8. But luckily Khoorn had the already ported the project to be a Bukkit plugin (R-T-B had already created a Bukkit mod) some time ago, and he updated the Bukkit version to Beta 1.8. Here is a link to the original thread of the Bukkit port and here to the project on BukkitDev. Below is a changelog of the Bukkit plugin version.
