RiverGen is a Vintage Story mod by Nyuhnyash. RiverGen adds customizable branching river terrain to Vintage Story worlds, with optional clay deposits, mossy boulders, and fallen logs.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod is useful for players and server owners who want more pronounced river landscapes during world generation. It works in both singleplayer and multiplayer because the terrain is generated server-side.
What RiverGen adds
RiverGen changes world generation by carving branching river systems into the terrain. The river layout can be customized, allowing worlds to have more varied waterways instead of relying only on the default landscape.
Optional environmental details make riverbeds feel more natural: clay deposits can appear near the water, while mossy boulders and fallen logs add obstacles and visual variation. These elements can be enabled or disabled according to the desired world style.
The mod does not simulate flowing water or river currents, and it does not currently expand alluvial clay deposits over time. Be aware that boulders may appear in dry riverbeds, and grass can grow on top of them.
RiverGen is intended for server-side use and can be used in singleplayer as well as multiplayer. Changing the game version while continuing an existing world may leave visible chunk borders where terrain was generated under different rules.
