This is my third project in my custom terrain series, and by far the most difficult. The idea for this project was suggested by crazyazey12 in the comment section of my Canyons and Caves map.

To put this project together I relied on the heavy use of Worldpainter, MCEdit and SPC. Each large mountain was individually hand made in Worldpainter first, then pulled out with MCEdit and brought in the actual project for the final detailing and layout. Getting a consistent descent looking mountain maybe took around 25-30 tries alone, after that it must of taken at least another 25 tries to get all the sizes and different styles down.

I pretty much have all the large mountains created and imported in at this point. Some have almost all the detailing done while others I haven't even started on. I still might move or add in a few smaller ones depending on the space. I have also started messing with a basic vine type bridge system and completed two mountains so they are accessible on every single open level or tier.

I added a world save and schematic, only a few mountains are connected right now tho so you will need to build a bridge or have a fly mod to get to the others.

To do still:
Make final decision on the large mountains layout.
Add in any smaller floating island type items.
Create a bridge system to the rest of the mountains.
Make the rest of the mountains accessible on all levels.
Finish details/underside on large mountains.
Create a few small outpost areas.

I like it but you could have done the bottoms of a few of the islands better. Diamond anyway :)
