Is this what I think it is? A tool to dynamically generate an expression? Something that would make it easy to create custom terrain gen?

Pretty much

This is a godsend ❤️

(don't know if it's the right word, but it's something a lot of people are hoping for I think)

It will still take some time to get it to be useful. And even more to make it convenient to use

are you reimplementing the entire noise engine?

hallow tangle Sep 16, 2025, 8:47 PM

#

As much as I can. And definitely ignoring entities and cliffs for now

#

Nauvis seems to be pretty accurate

something along those lines has been in my "doing in the future at some point surely" stash for a while, nice seeing someone giving it a shot

#

alternatively could‘ve used the games cli flags to just load a given mod / worldgen to spit out map previews

So, the main value I think will be from being able to visualise each noise expression and get the exact numeric value. noise-tools mod is definitely helpful, but it has its limitations

#

And, hopefully, iteration time can be much lower
