TelsTerrain StationAPI
by Telvarost
With TelsTerrain StationAPI, the overworld terrain generation of a Beta-era world can be tuned, with vanilla features switched off and biome-specific soil and ore added.
What it does
The mod lets a world owner disable vanilla terrain features and add biome-specific ore and soil generation, so the landscape of a new world can be reshaped. Cave soil features cover dirt and gravel deposits in caves, tunnels and dungeons, along with clay on beaches. Fluid features add waterfalls, lavafalls, and ponds filled with water or lava, and sand generation can be adjusted as well. Terrain tweaks also apply to chunks that were already generated, so changes are not limited to new areas.
The mod requires StationAPI and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Fabric and Babric are the supported loaders, and the files target b1.7.3 only. Mod Menu is an optional dependency that adds a config screen. Settings are synced to the players of a multiplayer server when GlassConfigAPI version 3.0 or later is installed. TelsTerrain StationAPI is released under the MIT License and is open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Vanilla feature toggles
Individual vanilla terrain features can be disabled, so a world can omit the default generation of chosen features.
Biome-specific ore and soil
Ore and soil generation can be assigned per biome, changing what appears in each region of the overworld.
Cave and beach deposits
Dirt, gravel and clay deposits can be placed in caves, tunnels, dungeons and along beaches.
Water and lava pools
Waterfalls, lavafalls and ponds of water or lava can be generated, and changes also reach chunks already generated.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits world owners and server operators who want to change terrain generation, and mod developers who study StationAPI-based world generation. It is not needed for the vanilla world as it is.
How it compares
Mineshaft Babric is also open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server for Fabric and Babric, with files for b1.7.3. SnowWorld is a client-side only Fabric mod for b1.7.3, released under All rights reserved and not open source, so it adds nothing a server needs.

What the author says
A StationAPI mod for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 that tweaks ore generation, sand generation, and more! Mod works on Multiplayer with GlassConfigAPI version 3.0+ used to sync configs! All changes are disabled by default, enable what you want! * NOTE: Terrain tweaks do not affect already generated chunks. Got any suggestions…
