Generates a new map file. Can create many different kinds of terrain. The "theme" defines the appearance (type of blocks used): Arctic, Desert, Forest, Grass, Hell, Swamp. The "template" defines the shape of terrain: Archipelago, Atoll, Bay, Dunes (best with Desert theme), Flat, Hills, Ice (best with Arctic theme), Island, Lake, Mountains, Peninsula, Random (unpredictable), River, and Streams. Special "empty" and "ocean" templates do not need a theme specified.

Since fCraft 0.610, the order of theme/template parameters can be swapped without problems.

==<code>/Gen Theme Template</code>==
:Replaces the '''current world's map''' with a new one of the same size.

==<code>/Gen Theme Template FileName</code>==
:Creates a new map file of the same size as your current world's map.

==<code>/Gen Theme Template Width Length Height</code>==
:Replaces the '''current world's map''' with a new one of given dimensions.

==<code>/Gen Theme Template Width Length Height FileName</code>==
:Creates a new map file with the given terrain type and dimensions. You can then load the new map by calling [[/WLoad]]

==Map Dimensions==
*'''Minecraft client works best if each map dimensions is either 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024.''' Various problems can occur if map does not conform to this rule:
**If any dimension is not a multiple of 16 (e.g. 16, 32, 48, 64, etc), there will be invisible blocks and a LOT of visual glitches.
**If width or length (horizontal dimensions) are multiples of 16 but not powers of 2 (e.g. not 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc), there will be inaccessible walled-off areas on a map, and it will lag pretty badly. However, you can still make map height any multiple of 16 without negative side effects.
**If any dimension is over 1024 blocks, players will become invisible when they pass the 1024 block mark.
*Everywhere in fCraft commands, coordinates are given in "X Y Z" format (X/Y horizontal, and Z vertical). Similarly, map dimensions are given in "Width Length Height" format (Width/Length horizontal, and Height vertical).
*The total size of the map is theoretically limited to 2147483647 blocks (2<sup>31</sup>-1).
