### Install the Plugin

* Download `BiomeGen.jar`
* Place it in your server's `plugins/` folder
* Restart your server
* Verify installation:

```
/bg help
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create Your First World

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### With Multiverse-Core (Recommended)

```
/mv create myworld normal -g BiomeGen:plains
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Without Multiverse-Core

```
/bg world create myworld plains
```

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Teleport and Explore

```
/bg world tp myworld
```

You're now in a custom plains biome world with generated terrain, trees, and vegetation.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Available Biomes

Use these generator IDs when creating worlds:

* `BiomeGen:desert` - Sandy terrain with cacti
* `BiomeGen:plains` - Grassy plains with oak trees
* `BiomeGen:snowyplains` - Snow-covered with spruce trees
* `BiomeGen:badlands` - Colorful terracotta layers
* `BiomeGen:mushroom` - Mycelium with giant mushrooms
* `BiomeGen:end` - End terrain with layers of endstone, end bricks, and purpur blocks.

## Next Steps

* [Apply terrain presets](https://zitemaker.gitbook.io/biomegen/configuration/config.yml)
* [Learn all commands](https://zitemaker.gitbook.io/biomegen/commands-and-permissions/commands)

## Troubleshooting

<details>

<summary>World generates as vanilla terrain</summary>

* Check that you spelled the generator ID correctly
* Verify BiomeGen is enabled: `/plugins`
* Check console for errors during world creation

<details>

<summary>Can't create worlds</summary>

* Ensure you have permission: `biomegen.world`
* Install Multiverse-Core for easier management
