Dregora – Your custom world generator for use in minecraft.

What is Dregora

Dregora is a OTG – Open Terrain Generator preset which, when combined with OTG, creates a procedurally generated dimension featuring a plethora of new structures, biomes, entities and gameplay mechanics depending on which version of Dregora you are using. So far there’s Dregora Remastered which is the default preset, Dregora O Plenty which is specifically tailored for use with Biomes O Plenty and at last Dregora RL which is meant for use with the modpack RLCraft Dregora.

Dregora distinguishes itself from most other presets through special areas that generate statically meaning that apart from those specific regions, Dregora is entirely randomly generated. The benefit of having these static areas is that we have full control over biome and therefor structure generation. Imagine finding a book that describes a canyon with a temple within at given coordinates. This is only possible because the canyon would always generate at roughly the same spot. If you are interested in how these static areas look from above, take a look at https://map.dregora.com as it shows exactly how these areas generate in your world. The color black represents randomly generated terrain.

The future of Dregora

Having been in development since 2014 I can hardly picture a future in which there is no Dregora for as long as the community surrounding it exists. It’s been many years in which I too knew my up and downs. First I was much of a solo guy working on Dregora with my brother creating various structures for use in the mod. Later it became a mod for public use and now RLCraft Dregora elevated this project to whole new heights.

I did this because Dregora was fun and it still is very much so besides it also earning me a Buck or two nowadays allowing Dregora to be at the center of my focus and so far even after the years I have been part of the RLCraft Development team I don’t see a future in which this will all be gone.

Dregora’s Lore

I want to say that Dregora is much more than just a world but limited by an individual’s imagination which is something we didn’t realize at first but were made to understand by listening. This made us put the perspective of the player first rather then telling a static story which is why you will find a lot of individual and locational stories within the many books found in Dregora

This brings us to the content of the lore itself, which in summary tells the story of how the world of Dregora came to be after the event known as “The Blight”

The year is 2116, and the world is at peace – not because we became any less violent or chaotic, but simply because there was no more oil. While this may sound like a good thing, people were starving all over the world, as gasoline had become too expensive to even distribute food.

As this crisis, the energy crisis took shape, the leaders of humanity shook hands and initiated Project Arcturus – the codename for an ambitious attempt to extract energy from alternate dimensions. It however had a fatal flaw, one that remained unknown until it was already too late.

With little information to go on, people concluded that space-time had bent and dimensions had fused together the moment Arcturus was fully initialized causing the effects of this catastrophe.
First came the electromagnetic shockwave, powerful enough to destroy the infrastructure as we knew it with irreversible damage done to anything that contained a chip. Ships dead in the water, planes suffering total system failure followed by massive earthquakes tearing apart our means of transportation on land.

Months later, just as humanity began to regain its footing, the mutations came. It started with only a few, but they quickly became widespread, until even those who hid in their mighty concrete bunkers were not safe.

Driven back to our last standing strongholds, we foresaw the future with grim eyes. Behind the horde of mutants, our nuclear reactors stood — badly damaged by the earthquakes, leaking and poisoning the lands as we fled to our deepest bunkers where we waited for the world to heal again.

Meanwhile, a distant hope was approaching this broken, nuclear world — one that would mirror the planet’s name and its history as if they were twins: The Dregorian Voyager, a mighty ship that had set out to colonize distant stars.
A dream shattered by a simple malfunction within the hyperdrive mainframe, which caused the passengers to remain in stasis for hundreds of years — until they finally returned home, to Earth.

We, the Dregorians, are their descendants.
