Hey guys! Today, I bring you a unique custom terrain: Ethereal Flow.

An art movement called Impression was spawned from the advent of cameras. Discouraged by the now-possible photorealistic capabilities, artists started using visible brush strokes to depict how light reflected off of water. This map features ever-flowing falls and lakes to honor impressionism.

Pools and rivers intertwine together high up the mountains to create a mysterious atmosphere. Scattered throughout the boundaries between the ocean and the mountains are gigantic redwood forests stretching high up the sky. Also, a magical birch forest covers the worn-down red structures. Mangrove swamps and dead pines bring shame to the default Minecraft swamps. A cherry tree forest floats peacefully in the ocean, hiding infinite water mazes inside. This map was inspired by the composition Daphnis et Chloé by Ravel.

Map is completely survival friendly with ores and caves. Feel free to use this in any projects, servers, etc. by giving me credit (ctRy). However, do not sell this map.

I used the height-based voronoi method for the terrain and filled it with water.

o_0 wow mate quality map theres just one thing that bothers me, well its not particular to this one because very map is like this but the square cutoff where the beautiful terrain and just normal landscape shears trough it just bothers me sooo much. its like some complicated form of ocd haha. I would love to see a way of ending it off like a wall or something like that. or maybe make it an island on a custom map with just water there so new chunks that get loaded dont just randomly create grass and landscape again. (sorry for long and confusing text)
