Getting the Biome of a certain Location

Hi there,

I'm currently developing a Biomes plugin, and I've come across a problem I
had not expected at all:
I want to create a temp world (just a work-around) and then, after it generated,
get the Biome of specific locations.
The only problem is, after a few Biome calls, the <World>.getBiome(int x, int z) returns null.
Why is that, how is it possible and how can I change that?

Also, if you happen to know how I can get the Biome by seed and location without generating an
entire world, please tell me, because that would be a lot easier.

Thanks in advance,
Kierrow

 

Mayby:
Location loc;
Biome b = loc.getBlock().getBiome();

 

Take a look at the AMIDST Project. That tool generates a biome map from a given seed.

 

Interesting. loc.getBlock().getBiome() is a option. Could you give us the NPE?

 

I found that on jenkins:
"Fixed block.getBiome returning null in new 1.1 biomes. This fixes BUKKIT-496" - Build 1726

Maybe updating to that build will fix your problem.

 

Thanks! Appearently MC 1.1 has different Biomes now, I got the latest build and it's working now.
