SeedMapper

Changelog

• Added an explorable seed map. Description from the relevant PR:

  Relates to #51. This PR adds a seed explorer map (perhaps long overdue, for a mod called SeedMapper 😄). The map can be opened in-game by pressing m (keybind is configurable) or by executing the /sm:seedmap command. The background texture is determined by the biomes (at sea level), where each biome has been given a colour. The colours are from Cubiomes. On top of the biomes, a few additional things are drawn: structures/features, ore veins, and the player's position in the world. What features will be displayed can be configured by toggles at the top of the screen. The map is infinitely explorable by dragging the mouse, and can be zoomed in/out by using the scrolling wheel. Moreover, you can copy the coordinates of the mouse's position by right-clicking. By default, four pixels will be drawn per biome quart pos (a quarter chunk pos), which equates to one screen pixel per in-game block. Note that the precision of biomes is limited to biome scale (so up to quart pos) for efficiency.

  As the map can be opened through a command, you can make use of the /sm:source command to completely change what parameters the map uses. For example, to view the biomes as they were in Minecraft 1.0, you can do /sm:source versioned 1.0 run sm:seedmap. You can similarly change the seed and dimension.

  The map is intended as a quick way to explore a seed, similar to ChunkBase. As such, it is not my intention to make the map as feature complete as Cubiomes Viewer. This is also because the map runs alongside Minecraft, which makes rendering/UX much more complicated than with a standalone application, and means the map will not be as performant because the game runs in the background.

  I am planning to release this as a beta version of SeedMapper, because I would like to receive some feedback before I make a full release. So if you find bugs or have any suggestions, please let me know!
