Moderner Beta

WARNING!: This release introduces breaking changes. Additionally, this is an alpha version, which may include bugs and issues, and can be prone to breaking with future releases.

Additions

• Added support for Minecraft 26.2
• Added component for structure modifiers
  • This allows to modify how structures generate, or allow for custom structures to generate on a per-preset basis.
• Added data-driven biome injectors
  • This new system allows for more advanced biome generation
  • In future versions this system will be expanded further
• (1.20.1) Added support for Forge biome tags.

Changes

• Ocean Shrines now generate in most presets without Deep Ocean biomes
  • Previously they only generated in Moderner Beta Ocean biomes.
• Strongholds now generate properly in LCE presets
• Moved erosion generation to surface rules
  • NOTE: Currently erosion has issues with water when sea level is not 63.
• Enabled surface rules by default in presets with cave biomes
• Surface rules now use same surface depth as normal surface generation
• Surface rules now use precise preliminary height, rather than quantised height
• Surface rules now use precise biome for certain biome providers
  • This is mostly noticeable with the Beta biome provider.
• Refactored biome generators to use biome references directly
  • NOTE: This does not apply to the fractal biome generators, as those use an extended ID system that requires a rework.
• Refactored noise generation to use a common interface
• /locate can now locate injected biomes from some biome injectors.
• General optimisations for world generation.

Fixes

• Fixed cave biome and ocean biome injection occurring after surface generation.
  • This notably fixes frozen ocean biome generation, along with sulfur cave generation.
• Fixed certain Moderner Beta biomes not generating properly with surface rules enabled.

Removals

• Removed support for Minecraft 1.21.6-1.21.8, 1.21.9-1.21.10, and 1.21.11
• Removed GUI settings for biome injectors
  • It is currently not known if these will be added back due to the complexity of biome injectors.
• Removed climate mappings for Ocean and Deep Ocean biomes
  • These are now to be handled by the biome injector.
• Removed Ocean and Deep Ocean layer types
  • These should be handled by the biome injector
  • Currently, no exact replacement exists, and will only be added in a future release.
• Removed the moderner_beta:indev_stronghold structure
  • It is now done using the structure modifier component.
