[minor worldgen] sand and gravel beaches

[capt_slowpoke 81]

I just recently noticed that almost all of the sand and gravel in tfcraft is under water; if not the ocean floor. Every now and then you find a handful of sand next to the shore, but it's usually never more than one or two blocks in. It would be nice to have beaches like vanilla so it's less annoying to dig them up to use in a sluice, it also looks nicer. The closest I've seen to a beach in forever have been these really little desert isles that pop up sometimes out in the middle of the ocean.

Why did this suggestion slip through to the second+ page? I was just about to re-suggest it.

It's quite disturbing to have no beaches - I could understand for inland lakes, but for an ocean, either beaches or cliff faces are quite necessary, I daresay.

At the same time there shouldn't be sand/rock/gravel every time land touches a body of water. Sometimes, it's just dirt.

If there's way that it only generates sand near bodies of water that are X large. While smaller bodies only have dirt and a river should have more gravel than sand.... Vice versa for oceans.

You could have beaches like Hawaii... Black.

We also need large cliffs by the ocean.

Also, the part of gravel beaches that touches the dirt from the land has to have a 2 block tall wall.
