=== About ForgeAmidst ===
ForgeAmidst (Forge Advanced Minecraft Interface and Data Structure Tracking) is a tool that visualizes, at a high level, what the world generator will create when given a seed. It displays information on biome position, size, and climate in addition to Overworld features like villages, strongholds, and world spawn. It can use the vanilla world generator, or RTG + CC, but not RWG. It also does not display modded structures like LootGames games or Roguelike dungeons. The large maps displayed throughout this page were generated using ForgeAMIDST. This tool is useful when configuring Climate Control as it allows players to quickly see the effects of config changes without slowly generating worlds in game.

{{Caution|Loading the same world after changing world generators will cause hard chunk borders where new chunks generate. For this reason it is not recommended to play a save made with RWG after installing RTG and CC without first re-enabling RWG and disabling RTG and CC.}}

Climate Control has many options in config/climatecontrol.cfg. It is unnecessary to restart Minecraft after changing config settings: Climate Control will pick them up automatically, so a very effective workflow is to generate a world > open AMIDST > change settings > generate a new world and reload AMIDST to view the impact your changes had. There are also settings specific to mods like Biomes O'Plenty (BoP) in config/ClimateControl which allow changes to relative biome generation frequency.

RTG is also configurable in config/RTG, but requires restarts in between config changes.
