Biosphere Worlds - Issac Edition

New World Preset: Solar System

• Explore floating biosphere systems with 1–16 configurable planets, each on its own orbit.
• Customize planet sizes, height, spacing between planets, and distance between systems.
• Choose the climate direction: warm inner planets and cold outer planets, or the reverse, with a temperate middle zone.
• Each system features a central magma-and-lava or packed-ice biosphere containing a Stronghold.
• Optional ghast, blaze, and phantom guardians defend the system’s center.
• A new violet guide star points toward the center of your current system. This navigation aid can be disabled.
• Players initially spawn on the natural surface of a temperate planet.
• Mineral moons, edge oceans, shell materials, and bedrock modes have independent Solar settings.
• Explore between planets without automatic bridges.

Configuration and Saved Worlds

• Separate configuration files under config/biosphereworlds/:
  • BiosphereWorlds.toml for classic Biospheres.
  • SolarSystems.toml for Solar System.
• Previous configuration files are automatically copied to the new location, preserving the originals without overwriting existing files.
• New worlds save their generation settings. Later TOML changes do not alter those worlds’ saved settings.
• Existing classic worlds retain their previous configuration behavior.

Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed player repositioning when logging in or respawning on a biosphere shell, with support for Solar worlds.
• Improved isolation of generation and configuration between worlds.
• Stricter validation of radii, blocks, and mineral catalogs, with clearer diagnostics for invalid configurations.
• Solar moon placement now adjusts to the build-height limit when sufficient space is available.
• Added Solar biome integration with TerraBlender and support for central Stronghold replacements.

Updating

• Create a new world using the Solar System preset to experience the new generation.
• Enable “Generate Structures” when creating a Solar world.
• Existing chunks are not regenerated.
• For new worlds that save their generation settings, subsequent TOML changes apply to newly created worlds.
