SevTech's Heatmap example screenshot
The world generates in a logical heat map. Need snow or a desert? Travel North or South until you find it!
In this pack, the world generates as a logical heatmap which means that if you move in the north-south direction you'll walk through different temperature and humidity zones (just like IRL, but it wraps around, since it's infinite). If you need a desert, for example, walk north or south until you end up in a hot biome. Then you can walk east or west in this temperature band until you find a desert, if you haven't already.
Two similar zones are about 10000 blocks apart (confirmation needed)
Temperature levels change by the Z axis, going Warm, Hot, Warm, Cool, Icy, Cool, then repeating. The humidity levels change by the X axis, going Average, Wet, Average, Dry, then repeating.
This table shows all the temperature and humidity combinations.
| Wet | Average | Dry | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot | Hot, Wet | Hot, Average | Hot, Dry |
| Warm | Warm, Wet | Warm, Average | Warm, Dry |
| Cool | Cool, Wet | Cool, Average | Cool, Dry |
| Icy | Icy, Wet | Icy, Average | Icy, Dry |
The player always spawns in a warm average biome.
