    Well, my friends server crashed and somehow the biome was change from Tropical to Savannah, and he wants me to fix it because it was mainly my fault. Anyway, I'm not sure if it's possible but would there be a way to change a biome with a command like
    Code:
    /setbiome <Biome ID/Name> <radius>
    Or a way to change grass color without a texture pack, because my friend is mad that the grass is a different color. I would like to know if this is at all even possible. And if it is, then i would love for it to be developed.
     
  2. why not a texture pack would be easier than this. Google Misas Hd Pack for your request he has there a Greeni skin for the grass color

    If you read the first post it clearly says WITHOUT A TEXTURE PACK. I wouldn't be posting if I wanted to use a texture pack.
     
  4. yes is did and this was a QUESTION. because you want a plugin taht change something. that will take some hours of work and with a TEXTURE pack its done in 2 min. So Why you want more work then needed ?

    That's why I'm requesting the plugin, so someone can DEVELOP IT.

    I've requested something exactly the same, except BiomeControl as the name instead :p
    Not just required to change Tropical to Savannah and back again, I want something that can get rid of snow and such. This really seems to be needed (I've also seen someone with NoBiome).
    My only preference over what you've said is that you select two points instead of a radius, but either would work.

    It needs to be done. C'mon devs I'm looking at you.

    My friend is really picky and because the grass color is different, he refuses to play minecraft until I fix the biome that Minecraft (or as he thinks, I) broke.

    Just tell him it's his loss :p

    But well, I'd love to have such a plugin but I doubt it's do-able with the current limitations. But yes, a command that changes an area around you to a different biome would be cool :D

    and besides it would change alot more than just the grass color so a texture pack wouldn't change anything ^^

    ( I have a custom made snow world but part of it rains so .... xD)

    Does anyone know if it is even remotely possible?

    MCedit was my solution: Take your city/house and move it to a new biome. My way to say "stfu" to the fackin snow.

    Try looking for a map editor/singleplayer mod to do this.
    Just put the map into your worlds folder for singleplayer, or load it in the map editor.
    I doubt a plug-in could do this.

    Well what I've got is a multiplayer server working for me and the map crashed and the biome changed (much like bmt's issue). I don't want to use McEdit/WorldEdit because the server has a very large map and everything is built around the spawn, moving it elsewhere would really screw stuff up. And as for anything else, I use a server host, so I can't access the map anywhere else. And I'm not going to ask everyone on the server to upload a client side mod to stop the snow/crappy biomes.

    I'm just hoping. And if anyone could say DEFINITIVELY whether or not this is possible, that would be great. I understand there is doubt, but I need a yes/no.

    I've been searching for a plugin to do exactly this, actually for the opposite reason. I have a snow map with some incredible structures JUST outside the snow biome I am building in. I would be happy with a plugin that could change the weather data per chunk on command, so that snow accumulation would be possible in previously dry/rainy biomes.

    Would go with. I still think that this would be a main plugin that almost every server would use if only someone would make it D:

    Well, for starters, changing the biome changes the weather. With a desert biome, there's no precipitation or lightning, just overcast. Snow biome has snow and no lightning, regular biome has rain and lightning... I for one would love this plugin to be made because I prefer building on snowy areas around huge cliffs and that's not always easy to find.

    There is the phoenix terrain mod which is a clientside plugin that takesover from the normal seed generation controls within Minecraft. It allows you to specify biome frequency but only per map. If you wanted to have an all snowy map then you'd set it to 100% snow and 0% on every other biome. But it doesn't allow for region specific control yet. So it can be done. However the phoenix mod author does say that if the mod is used with a pre-existing world then corruption of the map is likely so biome editing may well be written too deeply into the minecraft code to really manipulate reliably.

    We had the same thing happen on our server recently. Our desert is now snow, our alpines now rain all the time and the rainforest never rains. I think the 1.6 update did something because there was a blue-screen message the day after Bukkit 818 was loaded and the seed changed in addition to the biomes.

    Sounds To me like your going to have to use McEdit somehow.... Make new maps untill you get the biome you want, then plunk down your buildings and stuff... The biome is part of the map file.. Alternatively you could use the world edit plugin:
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/edit-sec-admn-worldedit-4-6-world-editing-de-griefing-818.62/
    and one of the weather plugins like this:
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/fu...-weathercontrol-at-your-fingertips-860.13999/

    I don't think one plugin could change the biome but you can force the game to have different weather and you can edit the map... that's about it i think; If you even had a plugin it would probably have to start with a new map anyway; this way you can keep your buildings.... Good luck. :)

    Actually biomes are a mix of the map seed, and the level.dat file. Which is why sadly no one has made a true biome editor yet.

    Couldn't you have a seed with the correct biome? Surely there is something actually written somewhere in the file that says what biome it is...

    Sounds to me like this is something that needs to be done AS you create the map. As an alternative, can we at least get constant thaw or something to that degree so that water freezing over can at least be handled?

    Agreed. I hate this. I used Chunkster after my server chunks were screwed up/duplicated. Now there is snow everywhere around the spawn and all of our main buildings :( I can't try it right now, but since Chunkster reset my biomes once, if I do it again, I might get lucky and have no snow at the spawn.
