This article shows the various special features which map generators have and explains how to use them.
 
 
 
 
 
== Shared features ==
 
These map generator features are shared by multiple map generators. All of these are enabled by default.

| Dungeons are [[Air|hollow]] underground structures made of a mixture of [[cobblestone]] and [[Mossy Cobblestone|mossy cobblestone]]. Many pathways and [[Stair|cobblestone stairs]] connect a complex system of rooms.

| Yes
 
| Desert dungeons are similar to cobblestone dungeons, but they have larger rooms and longer stairways. They are either made out of [[Desert Stone|desert stone]] or [[Sandstone Brick|sandstone brick]]. Desert dungeons made out of desert stone appear inside desert stone and dungeons made out of sandstone bricks appear inside [[sandstone]]. In [[Subgames/Minetest Game|Minetest Game]], desert dungeons can thus be found in deserts and sandstone deserts.

| Yes
 
| Enables mountains.

|-
 
| '''Ridges'''
 
| <code>mgv7_spflags=ridges</code>
 
| Yes
 
| Enables rivers which aggressively cut through the terrain and create canyon-like structures. Since these rivers can make the terrain quite difficult to navigate, it may make sense to disable them.
 
|-
 
| '''Floatlands'''
 
| <code>mgv7_spflags=floatlands</code>
 
| No
 
| With this setting, large chunks of land will be created in the sky at a height at Y=1280 or above. The terrain is a bit different than on the surface, but the biomes are more or less the same. This setting is experimental and subject to change.
