    Hey,

    in a recent post by _jeb he stated something like "biome data is now saved in chunks".
    This made me wonder. I'm currently working on a plugin, a very custom world generator.
    Basically it allows the user to draw their world using images, like height-maps and such.
    Unfortunately, the was it works at the moment is you enter a seed and it generates the biomes
    and paints the grass colors on a biome-map. So this way the user is bound to still using the
    default biomes, which is why I was wondering if, since 1.2 is out now, it will be possible to
    make custom biome-generators using the Bukkit API, just like with the ChunkGenerator
    and BlockPopulator classes.

    Does anyone have any information about this?

    I delayed my project until 1.2, so I hope this will be made possible.
