The rivers are added only to the areas that have been previously marked as land. A simple 2D Perlin noise is used as the base, where its value is between 0 and a configured threshold value, a river is created. This creates the rivers in a closed-loop-like shapes, occasionally splitting two branches off:

For the leftover land biomes, the two Perlin noises, representing temperature and humidity, are used to generate the biomes, as described earlier. Additionally, the temperature map is used to turn the Ocean biome -- cgit v1.2.3
