Sneak-peek: Hovered Biome Display
Added 2023-02-19 12:36:17 +0000 UTCHello,
Here's a small preview for an upcoming feature that I'm working on! I know a lot of people have been asking for this since forever ago, so I'm glad to finally be able to bring it to you soon.
To make this seemingly small addition work, I had to completely rewrite how biomes are loaded from the world save, which became way too complicated since around 1.16, if you care about accuracy, as well as start including biomes in the map cache, which requires some memory saving magic. To my surprise, I managed to make it so the effect on cache loading times is completely unnoticeable. Probably won't cause too much trouble to start including block IDs in the cache too in the future. There are still some world save loading issues that I'd like to address though, which might require me to basically rewrite biome loading all over again, so, depending on how that goes, it might take a minute until I am able to release the update.
Thank you for your continuous support!

A biome overlay is a separate feature that I'm planning.
