So, I decided to take a try at making an extension... and it came out alright!

Name: World Generation Extension

Creator: Magmaramus(Me)

Current Version: v1.1 beta

Features:

+Random world generation
+Lag reduction
+Support for multiple types of blocks(currently supports 4 different types, with decreasing probability)

Future additions:

+Support for multiple types of blocks
+More flexibility overall
+Many more functions!

I realize that right now there isn't much, but I'm sure, even with its current limited use, someone will find it useful!

Download link <== Comes with an example project as well...

Youtube video! >> Click dis'
Please leave feedback!!!

The seed thing doesn't work

this is great! If i were to edit it a bit, could i use it in a top down game?

This is way too limited to be useful to anyone. It needs a lot of improvements before it is. You shouldn't need a "remove lag" function. Also, you should just need to use the "generate world" in a create/room start event.

make ore chance relative to height, you silly
great idea though! also make generation related to fps, more fps=more complicated generation algo.
pretty decent, meh :undecided 4-6/10

I actually made something like this in GML, with 3 arguments (minimal world height + max world height + world seed), supporting different objects depending on the situation they are created, in about 5 minutes xP
Does this only work for 2d?

The script that I have currently is much more advanced and flexible, but because of Extension Maker's limits, I cannot put all of the features that it is capable of into a GEX. If anyone wants the scripts, either PM me or post it here.

What limits?
Just release it as a pack of scripts then...

Really good but you should make it so you can put a percentage of blocks spawning... Also make it so it has an option for caves then it would be rlly amazing
Actually are you sure this is working I use gm 8.1
