Biome Profiles

You can customize which color is used by Amidst to render a biome. You can do this by using biome profiles. A biome profile is a file that specifies a color for each biome that is known to Amidst.

Syntax

This is the default biome profile and this is a second example. As you can see, a biome profile has a name and a color map. The name is used to refer to the biome profile in the GUI while the color map contains the actual colors that are used to render the map. Each biome is mapped to an RGB color.

Usage

By default, this feature is disabled. To activate it, create a directory named biome next to the Amidst jar file. You can customize the location of this directory via the Command Line Interface. The next time Amidst is started, it will create a file called default.json in this directory. It contains the default biome profile. You can copy and modify this file as often as you like. Amidst will use all biome profile files that are placed in the biome directory. If you want to go crazy, you can also use subdirectories. You can activate a biome profile from the menu Settings > Biome profile. Subdirectories will be represented as sub menus. In this menu, you can also reload the biome profile menu to represent the currently available biome profiles in the biome directory.

Warning

This feature is quite unstable. This means the syntax might change and it might even be removed in the future if it gets in the way of other features. You might want to use the biome highlighter instead, which can be activated by the button at the bottom right on the map.
