good idea, but I don't think anything like that is implemented yet. Actually, I think if you pause at the end, and step through the last steps, on the next world you generate it might start paused.

I found out why some people can't zoom. I turned frameskip on and now I can zoom. I'm assuming that it only checks if you have scrolled on every frame, so if it is lagging a lot, it won't zoom. Also lowering my display resolution let me zoom a bit. Frameskip is a surefire way to make sure you can zoom though.
all it really needs imo is an auto-pause before writing to disk, just to review and save/discard the result without an extra step of loading it up in the external viewer. this would work so much better with terracustom, and soon to be vanilla configs in 1.4
This mod changes the world generation screen to include a preview of the map as it generates. You can also pause/resume generation as you like.

This mod is amazing and so satisfying to watch! if i had one suggestion tho, perhaps an "undo" feature? like undoing a step to re-gen it instead of stacking more and more.

It's 2020 but if you still respond, I was wondering, I disabled the mod because I wasn't making any new mods, but I entered the world without loading all my mods, so I had to leave and reload them, but when I went back into the world my mini-map was cleared and it was like I had never explored anything, so I was wondering if it's because I disabled the mod or because something got corrupted.
Also great mod!
Also great mod!
yeah
I don't know why your minimap got deleted, but I don't think it was because of this mod, this mod doesn't do anything outside of the world generation screen.

I would also appreciate this. It's very difficult to pause the early steps manually.

Sometimes, using the step button on "spreading grass" makes it get stuck on "Status: Pausing...". and never unpauses.
Edit: The pause getting stuck seems to be unrelated to the generation step.

That's a lot of mods, see if it happens with 0 other mods. I can't really determine the issue if the issue is caused by a combination of mods.
