minetest 5.4 glitch snow in the desert and kelp

by Jackknife » Post

whenever I would start a new world file I would get a desert filled with snow and kelp.
Is there some way to fix this?

That's a strange mapgen error...

One way to easily fix it would be to change your world seed. The seed of the world provides the random values that make the world seem different each time. So if you just change it to a different value, (which could be anything, as Minetest will put it into a format it can use) you should get a new world without the strange problem.

ok yeah just tested it and I get the exact same glitched biomes when I change water_level to less than 1 (i changed it to -31000).
Check your minetest.conf file and remove the water_level line, it should fix the problem.

Removing 'cold_desert_ocean' from the kelp biome list will fix this:

It didn’t work for me, the game crashes when I removed 'cold_desert_ocean' from the file.

Remember to keep the }, at the end otherwise it will throw a code error.

Minetest 5.4.1 has the glitch taken care of

I'm not sure about this, because I have a similar issue: it seems that all water is gone, no matter what mapgen or seed I'm using.
That's with carpathian, seed is in the screenshot, game is vanilla mtg.
But it doesn't matter I get same results for flat, valleys and v7.
It was from mt 5.4.0 on as I remember, now I ran 5.4.1 but the issue is still there.
My custom settings in minetest.conf are irrelevant for that issue.
So probably a thing for github.
Can anyone try to reproduce please?
I checked many worlds with Wuzzys Find Biome mod (enabled after I saw these issues).

Reported

Update:
This was caused by a permanent minetest.conf override of a world, built by someone else than me (read the github comments for more information).
