Did you ever want to play on a diagonal ribbon world? yeah, me neither. but someone on a discord came up with that idea, so I just made it a reality.

To enable the mod:
- start creating a new freeplay-mode world
- open the mod settings in the bottom, and enable the ribbon world
- set your desired width and direction
- continue creating the world as normal

Notes:
- the smallest size that you can beat the vanilla game on with this mod is a ribbon width of 17 tiles.
- you can't change the settings at runtime, only set them once when creating the world
- due to how I implemented it, it won't show up in the map preview when generating the world. this might change in the future if there's enough people using it so it makes sense for me to invest more time into this
- I would recommend turning down the water a tiny bit, potentially turning off cliffs. otherwise you will likely get stuck in the starting area a lot, since it seems that you find quite a bit less resources on a diagonal map compared to normal ribbon worlds for some reason
