Moderner Beta

Changes

• Increased scale of landmasses in the Release Hybrid preset.

Fixes

• Raised lava level in beta caves by one block.

Fixes

• Grass and leaves should no longer appear transparent under certain conditions.

The highly anticipated graphical customization menu has made a return! Every single option can be configured from graphical menus with JSON editing still available as an option.

Additions

• Added graphical configuration menus for chunk, biome and cave biome providers.
  • Settings can still be edited as JSON by clicking any of the pencil icons to the right of the "Settings" buttons.
• Presets are now sorted into categories, allowing for easier browsing.
• Added large biomes presets for release versions.

Changes

• BREAKING CHANGE: Reworked fractal sub-variants
  • fractalSubVariants used to be Map<BiomeInfo, List<BiomeInfo>> and controlled by fractalSubVariantScale, but now it is of the type Map<Integer, Map<BiomeInfo, List<BiomeInfo>>> with integers surrounded in quotes. Here's an example of the change:

    [
      // Before
      {
        "fractalSubVariants": {
          "minecraft:jungle": [
            "minecraft:plains",
            "minecraft:sparse_jungle",
            "minecraft:jungle"
          ]
        },
        "fractalSubVariantScale": 1,
        "fractalSubVariantSeed": 3000
      },
      // After
      {
        "fractalSubVariants": {
          "1": { // 1 formerly "fractalSubVariantScale"
            "minecraft:jungle": [
              "minecraft:plains",
              "minecraft:sparse_jungle",
              "minecraft:jungle"
            ]
          },
        },
        "fractalSubVariantSeed": 2999 // Subtract scale from seed accordingly
      }
    ]
    

  • This allows for a wider variety of customization for fractal biome generation.
  • Old presets will be automatically updated to use the new sub-variant system.
• Changed up biome distribution in the Release Hybrid preset to be more like 1.6.4 with additional biome mutations.
• The default block for Badlands soil has been changed from White Terracotta to Orange Terracotta.

Fixes

• Added Ice Spikes to 1.12.2+ presets.
• Infdev 20100325 caves now overwrite ores with air.
• Fixed some deep oceans having the incorrect height values.
• Mutated variants now save properly.

Removals

• Removed Beta Hybrid preset.

  • Due to this the mod now depends on Architectury API.

  • The icon has been updated on Fabric to add the logo for the mod
  • The banner and icon now feature a new screenshot
