Unfortunately it really does. I think their primary concern in creating this was to be cartographically accurate -- not pretty by Minecraft standards. To do that they'd have to hack/extend the biome generator I suppose, or take forever by hand.

Or implement their own "biome" generation. All that a biome is, is that it defines which type of landscape is generated and with which types of blocks.

Except for swamp biomes of course, which generate slimes. And desert biomes, which have no rain, or ice biomes, where it snows. But those are almost flags, in the end.

Here's a few I just took: London, Snowdonia, etc.

Wow - would love to see what the Cuillin on Skye look like :-)

[Arguably the most spectacular mountains in the UK]
