Details

• Added structure icons:
  • Rendering the tile map now also parses structure starts.
  • Structure icons can be enabled through View->Structures, or Ctrl+Y.
  • Icons for individual structures can be enabled/disabled through View->Select Structures.
  • Icon size and outline can be configured in the world settings.
  • Similar structures are grouped, such as all ruined portal types or ocean ruins.
  • Hovering over a chunk with a structure icon shows the exact structure type in the status bar.
• Added a disclaimer to the About dialog, in accordance with the Minecraft Usage Guidelines.
• Updated mappings and generator to 25w44a.
• Moving chunks now correctly applies the offset to a Happy Ghast's home_pos.
• When defragmenting mca files, data is now copied directly to the temporary file to avoid a potential memory leak.
• Temporary streams are now correctly closed when reading / writing chunks without closing the underlying Buffer.
• Reading mca files can now use the foreign API if available to decrease memory usage.
• Fixed a bug where clicking buttons that should open the OS's file explorer would freeze the entire program on some OS's.
• Improved updating and drawing the tile map. This should fix instances where some regions wouldn't be drawn until the map was interacted with.
• Fixed a check when chunk data should be saved to an .mcc file.
• Fixed overlay config logging.
• Overlay Parser now uses the same thread config as the other processors.
• Fixed scaling of corrupt chunk.
• Fixed a bug in the NBT library when using CompoundTag#partOf() Querz/NBT#100.

• Fixed a bug where drawing the tile map sometimes would throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException due to a concurrency issue.
• Fixed a bug that would cause chunks/regions not getting deleted if either the region, poi or entities file had a size of 0 bytes.
• Updated the gradle wrapper.

Details

• Fixed a bug where tinted blocks would appear white for custom biomes. It will now fall back to minecraft:plains.
• Fixed a bug where CLI mode was not working (VersionHandler was not initilized correctly).

mcaselector-2.5

This release contains new features in the script editor, a rewrite of the chunk editor with additional functionalities, new color mapping system and more.

Join our Discord:
Buy me a coffee:

Details:

• The size and location of the Change NBT dialog, the Filter Chunks dialog, and the Edit Chunk dialog are now persistent through the session while MCA Selector is open.
• The Script editor in the Filter Chunks dialog and the Change NBT dialog now has additional functionalities:
  • Groovy script files can now be opened and saved.
  • The default empty script can be loaded.
  • Recently opened scripts can be opened.
  • An indicator shows whether the currently opened file has unsaved changes.
  • Scripts are saved between sessions.
• Added the parameter --script to CLI mode which can be used to load a .groovy file from a provided file path when in select, export, delete or change mode.
• Refactored the Edit Chunk dialog:
  • Now supports adding array types with a specific length.
  • Now supports Copy-Paste with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, delete with Del, and cut with Ctrl+X (Cmd+ on Mac).
  • Now supports the changes to the NBT format introduced in 25w09a.
  • The array editor now can edit multiple values at once.
• Added a render setting to make height shading optional. Height shading makes the terrain brighter when higher and darker when lower. A corresponding boolean parameter --render-height-shade has been added to CLI mode.
• Added compression type field, see #494. Also added a compression type filter.
• When rendering or processing chunks involving their height, the total height is now detected automatically based on yPos and the maximum Y value in the list of sections.
• Added Contributing section to the Wiki, explaining how to contribute to the Wiki, translations, color mappings and code.
• Added mapping generator, see Updating color mappings in the Wiki for reference.
• When installing MCA Selector through the Windows Installer, it will now delete the lib folder to make sure no old dependency remains. This should fix the bug where it was impossible to click the OK button in the Filter Chunks dialog.
• Fixed Sum Selection being disabled in the menu in certain circumstances, and not working correctly when using with inverted selections.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Tile Map to permanently lose focus when manually entering a number in the height slider.
• Fixed a bug where the CLI parameter --write-threads would set process threads instead, see #474 .
• Fixed a bug where the warning dialog about an unsaved selection would not show when opening a world through Recent World.
• Fixed Status field in Change NBT dialog showing a weird string when only one chunk is selected.
• Importing chunks no longer fails the entire region if an exception occurs in a single chunk. Also added more error checking and logging and skipping. This also fixes the bug where Lodestones throw an exception when being relocated.
• Fixed a bug where drag- and dropping filters would throw an exception in some circumstances.
• Fixed RegionMatcher not working in most circumstances. RegionMatcher checks if a filter query would match a region file at all, and if it doesn't skips the file entirely.
• Fixed a bug where querying the clipboard to determine whether to enable / disable the "Paste Chunks" menu could throw an exception when the application is out of focus.
• The Windows Installer is now signed with a self signed certificate (self signed because a certificate from an authority is expensive), which, over time, may or may not reduce the occurences of the Windows Defender warning when trying to install.
• Switched the cache DB from SQLite to LevelDB.
• Refactored how region files are loaded and parsed. Ideally this should improve render performance.
• Improved color mapping.
• Improved how implementation for specific Minecraft version are handled, making it easier to add new implementations for individual DataVersions.
• Updated the NBT dependency, it now supports the new SNBT specifications from 25w09a.
• Updated copyright notice.
