Since BiomeSwap developer forgot to update his plugin for a while, I have created brand new one for the community.
Remember, this will only affect NEWLY generated terrain...
Getting started:
BiomeSwitcher affects natural terrain generation, it is best to use on a fresh world.
The following steps will show you how to create a new world with BiomeSwitcher enabled.
- Copy 'BiomeSwitcher.jar' to your plugins folder.
- Start your server.
- Stop your server again. You will now see the folder 'BiomeSwitcher' in the plugins folder and 'config.yml' inside.
- Open 'config.yml' in a text editor and choose what biomes to switch, then save and exit.
- Delete all of your world folders (**only if you want to start over in a fresh world!**)
- Start your server again and all the specified biomes should be switched.
Configuration:
