POI V3.1

Urban Sprawl — bigger cities that still respect their suburban edges

Expands the Big City feature in world generation for a denser urban feel, while keeping the suburban and rural outskirts intact.

Details

A world-generation mod for players who build their game around city exploration. It expands vanilla's Big City into something denser.

What it does:

  • **Urban sprawl in every biome**
  • Each Big City township supports **a wide variety of districts**
  • **Rural outer districts remain**, so the city limits stay legible
  • An **Old West area** appears inside the Big City and makes a good early base
  • Supports all world sizes — **increase the Plains share on smaller worlds**
  • Its goal overlaps with `Diverse Townships`, but where that widens which town types appear in which biome, this reworks **the size and composition of the cities themselves**. They can be used together.

    Operationally useful: the author states it **works on servers that console players join**. It is server-side only, so client platforms do not matter.

    XML-only. The effect appears **when a world is generated**.

    Installation

    Extract into your `Mods` folder. Server-side only. **Generate a new world to see the effect.** On smaller worlds, raise the Plains share at generation time.
