biome support request

[dalandis]

First of all, I express my gratitude to all those who did not leave the project without support and are going to develop it.

Is it possible to pull changes from here https://github.com/granis/Minecraft-Overviewer ? to support biomes on the map

Hey, I appreciate you reaching out and letting me know about this. I'll take a look at the repo, and see which files are modified, and pull from it when I get the chance too.

I'm currently working towards getting faster render times.

[dalandis]

Thank you. In the same fork there are small changes for speed, maybe this will help somehow. But in my experience, if there is an acceleration, it is negligible.

@dalandis might be helpful if you opened a pull request with the changes that you think would be good to merge?

[Gregory-AM]

@dalandis, looking into the code from the Repo you've mentioned:

• LRUCache causes RAM Usage to increase but doesn't allow faster rendering time. ( The Repo has the original LRUCache as the OG Overviewer, and what my current file has, so it's unchanged)
• While you have added in the Biome settings (Temp, Rainfall, & Colors). The best thing to do is do what @cliffmeyers mentioned. Open a Pull Request with the specific changes you would like to see. Note: This is already being worked on alongside quicker render times, and adding in other blocks. But, If the work in that Repo is completed with every Biome supported, the merge is more likely to happen.
• You've changed the way Grass Blocks and Snow Blocks render in ( as Full Blocks ). While this is a nice visual change, it defeats what Overviewer is when showing the Original Minecraft Map. This modification isn't something I will incorporate.
