Climate control allows you control climate zones, ocean sizes, biome frequencies, and continent sizes. Make Minecraft worlds into Yourcraft worlds!
Add biome mods WITHOUT chunk walls!
Minimize chunk walls for 1.6 to 1.7 conversions. Tutorial here.
Set climate zones to smaller, more manageable sizes so you can find a variety of biomes more easily.
Prevent hot biome-cold biome transitions, if you want, or mix all the biomes together.
Change the frequencies of common biomes and climate zones to occur as often or as rarely as you want.
Restore true oceans to 1.7, or keep a universal continent with large lakes.
Create a variety of land sizes, from giant continents tens of thousands of blocks across to islands that fit on a single map.
Also removes the tiny islands in the deep ocean.

Land Sizes
The four land configurations each set the frequency with which particular land sizes appear in the world. For all the land sizes, there is huge variability - land sizes can easily be half or double the stated values. Plus, land formations can appear on top of each other in which case they merge.
Land usage is complicated so I'll describe it with a "land usage" score, which can later be converted into a percent.
"Large Continent Frequency" sets the frequency of large continents, very roughly 8,000 by 16,000 blocks. These are about the size of continents in 1.6 generation. They have a land usage equal to about the frequency you set.
"Medium Continent Frequency" sets the frequency of medium continents, very roughly 4,000 by 8,000 blocks. There are about the size of a small continent on a 1.6 map. They have a land usage equal to about 3/4 of the frequency you set.
"Small Continent Frequency" sets the frequency of small continents, about 2,000 by 4,000 blocks. This is smaller than anything the standard 1.6 generator ever makes. They have a land usage equal to about half of the frequency you set.
"Large Island Frequency" set the frequency of large islands, about 1,000 by 2,000 blocks. This is similar to the large multibiome islands you occasionally see in the large lakes of 1.7 generation, except that in 1.7 the larger one are essentially always merged into the universal continent, so the ones you see in Climate Control tend to be larger. They have a land usage equal to about 40% of the frequency you set.
Universal ocean or universal continent?
The total percent of land sets the oceanic vs. continental character of the world. From the land usage use can determine the percent land of the world. The formula is a little complicated, and my usage values are really rough anyway, so here's a guideline.
Land usage 0-35: "Open ocean" type world. This type of world is oceanic, and you can go on an arbitrarily long trip if you just set off on a random direction, because you can keep missing the landmasses that are there. 1.6 worlds are open ocean; they would have a land usage of 20.
Land usage 35-50: "Busy ocean" type world. This still has a universal ocean, but there's enough land that you won't get very long ocean trips very often even if you just set off randomly. The Climate Control defaults are in this range, at about 38.
Land usage 50-90 "River delta" type world. There's not really a universal ocean or a universal continent.
Land usage 90-120 "Great Lakes" type world. There's a universal continent, but you'll run into large lakes on any long trip.
Land usage above 120: Universal Continent with scattered large lake
Something about my estimates is not right, because I'd calculate 1.7 worlds as having a usage score of 130, putting them in "Universal Continent", but they're actually a "Great Lakes" type world.
Ocean trip length: This is probably the factor people are most interested in, and I'm sorry there's no simple answer or formula. Very roughly, if you hit the nearest land, your crossing distance will be on the order of the size of your continents. So in a world made of large continents, you have a typical crossing of 16,000 blocks. in a world of large islands, it's about 2,000 blocks. If you have a mix of continents, you'll have a similar mix of crossings. So in a world half large islands and half large continents you'll get a 2,000 crossing half the time and a 16,000 crossing half the time. 1.7 worlds are actually about 90% large islands and 10% large continents and that's why usually ocean crossings are really short but every now and then you get a 10K whopper (by going the length of a skinny lake).
If you've got a universal ocean, you may miss the nearest land. In a busy ocean world, you will sometimes about double your crossing distance that way. In an open ocean, you can miss land after land and go on for a very long trip. The Climate Control defaults produce a "box of chocolates" effect on ocean crossings just like land forms; mine have typically been 2,000 - 10,000 but looking at maps I think you might see ones as long as 20,000 without being fluky.

The name is kind of a pun based on what I was originally trying to do - shrink the IMO oversized climate zones in 1.7. But the mod has tremendously expanded from the original goal.
I could make rain and lightning frequencies vary by season. Snow in non-snowy biomes won't melt, so that's not a good idea for winter. Making tree leaves change color and things like that are out of my skill set.
also just because i don't have a profile picture doesn't mean i'm a noob it just means i'm too lazy to get one :P
