Latitude 1.5.0 (Minecraft 26.1.2)
First platform release on the 26.1.2 line. Brings the previously GitHub-only 1.4 "Cohesive Horizons"
line to Modrinth/CurseForge for the first time, plus the full 1.5 polish campaign.
Latitude 2.0 is still in production. The larger overhaul being showcased publicly, with its more
elaborate mechanics, is a separate line and still in development. 1.5 is the final polish release of
the 1.x line.
Before you update
- Back up your worlds first if you're coming from 1.3 (MC 1.21.11) or earlier — you'll be crossing
a Minecraft version change. Coming from 1.4 (already on 26.1.2), there's no version change to cross. - Existing worlds keep their original biome selection, including in chunks you have not visited
yet, so the climate-model and custom-biome work below applies to newly created worlds.
Highlights:
- Structure siting now matches the biome you're standing in — fixes both structures generating in
the wrong biome and/locate structurereporting ones that were never actually there;/locate structureis also now bounded to the world border and responsive - Zone spawn targets now land inside the zone you picked — every zone's spawn target is the true
midpoint of its latitude band - Rebuilt latitude-aware climate model — humid equator, subtropical arid belt, believable
jungle → savanna → desert gradient - Biome coherence pass: accent biomes form patches, not confetti; no equatorial badlands; reduced
cross-province bleed - Custom-biome provider selection rebuilt — packs are chosen by provider first, so large packs no
longer crowd each other out - Pale Garden coherence, Mushroom Fields as real land, guaranteed cave representation, temperate coast
and beach fixes - Polar whiteout fog replacing blindness; steadied frost damage; polar foliage suppression beyond 80°
- Reworked east/west edge advisory and escalation
- HUD Studio: one tabbed customization screen, draggable title/compass/location readout, independent
text scaling, six analog themes - New square-Atlas create-world screen with world-size reference underlays
- New operator commands under
/latitude(here,explainHere,probe,tpLat,tpBand,
flyspeed) - Performance: per-column biome caching, batched compass rendering, bounded and responsive
/locate - Existing worlds load and expand without rewriting explored chunks
Full notes: see CHANGELOG.md.
Known limitation: with large custom biome packs installed, not every biome will appear — each latitude
band draws from a finite weighted pool. Per-pack representation weighting is on the roadmap.
