PSA: Use Cubitect's Cubiomes Viewer as a 1.19-compatible alternative to AMIDST #1103

With almost a year since the most recent commit on this repo, and no word at all from the devs, AMIDST sadly appears to be abandoned.

Luckily, other programs exist that fulfill the same function. One that I'd like to call attention to here is Cubiomes Viewer, by the same devs who created the Cubiomes C library. Like AMIDST, Cubiomes Viewer shows a map of a Minecraft world's biomes, has toggles to mark various structures on the map, and supports filtering and highlighting of specific biomes.

Unlike AMIDST, Cubiomes Viewer supports The Nether, is fully updated for 1.19 with active developers, and supports seed-searching based on user-provided conditions.

There are a few AMIDST features that Cubiomes Viewer does NOT currently support. One is the ability to show and edit player locations, since worlds cannot be read directly and users must provide the seed. Cubiomes Viewer also does not currently support versions of Minecraft before Release 1.0.

I'm not affiliated with Cubiomes Viewer or its developers, I've just found it to be a good replacement for AMIDST and wanted to share this information with the community.

Thank you for this. Its unfortunate that Amidst just got abandoned without any word from the devs. I think there are people out there that would be willing to continue updating it. I would but I don't know java.
