How It Works
Pathfinder uses Hytale's world generation API to search for biomes without needing to load chunks. It performs an efficient spiral search pattern starting from your current location, checking biome types at various coordinates until it finds the target biome. Once found, it creates a map marker that's stored in your player data and displayed on your compass.
The mod includes a custom marker provider that ensures markers are visible on your compass from far away - perfect for finding those distant biomes!
