Alright, so Ive been out of modding since like A16 or earlier...but Im in it again.
Im trying to change the desert biome into a tundra. It seems like its basically hard coded, or I need to create an all new biome - which I havent tried yet. I wanted to just get rid of the desert by changing the decorations and blocks but keeping the shale etc.
I tried everything. Replacing the block names in the Biomes file, even copying the snow block and renaming it to terrDesertGround. Nothing allows me to change the actual terrain block. I changed every entry of terrDesrtGround to terrSnow in Biomes.xml, and then also tried to fool the game by changing the block names themselves after that didnt work. All of the decorations change just fine. Its *only* the terrain blocks I cant change. I know I can repaint the map file but I dont want to do that - I wanted to replace one biome with another, not replace one biome with an existing biomes (IE I didnt want the same exact snow biome). Why? It never made sense to me to have a hot desert biome and then a cold snow biome so close, or touching each other at the same elevation. I also wanted much more of a 'blending' of biomes so it wasnt such a hard transition from one to another. I want the world to generate a tundra instead of a desert.
Is this something thats hard coded? Can I even create new biomes in 2.0? I did a lot of world modding in older alphas when we had plains and it all worked fine. Dont remember if I changed terrain blocks but it sounds like something I would do LMAO.
