No more perlin noise
by aurysystem
No more perlin noise replaces the Perlin noise sampling used in world generation with a different kind of value noise, changing how terrain shapes are sampled.
What it does
Terrain generation normally samples Perlin noise, which is slow and follows gradient values. This Quilt mod swaps that sampling for value noise, a simpler method that picks smooth values at lattice points and blends them between those points. The result is a different style of generated terrain, and some players may notice blockier shapes than vanilla produces.
The mod is aimed at players who want to experiment with alternative noise in their worlds and at servers that allow custom world generation. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It requires Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) and Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) to load, and the only published file is for 1.19.2.
The project is open source under the MIT License, with a public source code repository and an issue tracker. Its author lists it as compatible with other world generation mods, and the code is built around the same noise hook that those mods use. Because it changes the underlying noise, the output will not match a vanilla world generated with the original sampling.
Key features
Value noise sampling
Replaces Perlin noise sampling with value noise in world generation, using a simpler interpolation scheme.
Blockier terrain shapes
Value noise produces smooth ranges of values that can look blocky in the generated terrain.
Speed-oriented noise
The author describes the change as a way to make world generation somewhat faster than Perlin noise.
Compatibility with other worldgen mods
Works alongside other world generation mods that use the same noise hook, according to the author.

Use cases
Experimenting with terrain
Players who want a different look for newly generated chunks can use the mod to see how value noise shapes the land.
Custom world generation servers
Server owners running a custom world generation setup can add the mod to change the noise without rewriting the generator.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want to test alternative noise sampling in 1.19.2 worlds. It is not a general performance tool, and the author notes that generated areas can differ from one another in ways that are not promised to be consistent.

What the author says
Perlin noise is slow, what if the game didn't use perlin noise or simplex noise at all during generation, and instead used the raw gradient values. Well it'd have weird blocky results like this does. No more Perlin noise should slightly speed up worldgen by doing just that, it should be compatible with other worldgen…
