Better Continents

The Minecraft world is generated in a totally disorganized way, with continents of unreal shapes, exaggeration of peninsulas and absurdly extensive land masses. The generation of continents in Minecraft needs change.

I would like to see more realistic portions of land in sizes and shapes, each of them would have a sandbar and continental shelf and then a large abyss of open sea separating them.

In addition to improving the aesthetics of the maps, this would make each continent more special and interesting to explore.

    Also mountains should generate in ranges on the edges of a continent.

    The "abyss of open sea" was actually in minecraft 1.6.4, but 1.7.2 changed that. I think that some people would not like the ocean to be so big, so maybe it could exist as a "continents" world type.
