SeedScape

## Added

<span style="color:#F1C40F;">**Pre-generate an area from the map.**</span> Hold Shift and drag a rectangle over the part of the world you want ready. When you make the world, Seedscape builds that area in the background while you play. No waiting on a loading bar, and no chunks popping in when you fly out there later.

<span style="color:#F1C40F;">**You can see the cost before you commit.**</span> The chunk count updates live as you drag, so you size the box against a real number instead of finding out afterwards. Shift-click clears it again.

<span style="color:#F1C40F;">**It stays out of your way while it works.**</span> Generation runs at a deliberately gentle pace and keeps most of every tick free for the game, so the world stays playable the whole time. Progress shows up in chat as it goes.

<span style="color:#F1C40F;">**Four more Minecraft versions.**</span> 1.20.6, 1.21, 1.21.5 and 1.21.8 join the six that were already supported.

## Fixed

<span style="color:#E03E2D;">**Seedscape can no longer stop your game from starting.**</span> If another mod changes the world creation screen in a way Seedscape doesn't recognise, it now steps aside quietly instead of crashing on the way to the menu.

<span style="color:#E03E2D;">**Seedscape can no longer take down the world creation screen.**</span> If something goes wrong inside the preview, the preview switches itself off for that session and everything else on the screen — including every other mod's tab — keeps working.

<span style="color:#E03E2D;">**World types it can't read now say so.**</span> Some custom terrain generators can't be previewed. Instead of drawing a flat single-colour map that looked real, it tells you.

<span style="color:#E03E2D;">**Servers no longer show up as incompatible.**</span> Seedscape is client-side and never needed to be on the server.

**The preview no longer slows down the rest of the game.** It used to borrow the same pool of background threads Minecraft and other mods rely on. It runs on its own now, at the same speed.
