    Suggestion: The ability to apply to have the biome of your town changed (and therefore the colour of grass/leaves)

    Reason: It can be hard to find the right biome with the right colours you want for your town. Although there may be a new map added, many players already have towns in the mainworld.
    BiomeEdit would be good if you want the grass or leaves to be a different colour. And a single biome for a town will eliminate those annoying transitions in biome colours.
    For example, my town would look a lot better if it was in a desert than in an ocean/swamp.

    Any Other Information: You could apply for a biome change on the forums. Maybe make it expensive (100k+) or a donation feature ($15 per town) so there are less applications?


    Link To This Plugin: (This feature is apparently built into worldedit anyway)
    http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/biomeedit/
    I don't think this will affect any structures/terrain, only colours (and spawning which is disabled anyway)


    I understand that this may be a difficult thing to do and therefore it is likely that it will not be implemented.

    Thanks for reading :)

    worldedit has the feature built-in. So a new plugin won't be necesary.

    Oh, cool!
    Must be in a newer version than when the plugin was made?

    I assume it also has the ability to select towns to modify the biomes?

    Yes but I thought that Andrew doesn't use WorldEdit due to extreme amounts of lag?

    I think that all it involves is choosing a region or town and assigning it a new biome value. Not actually placing/removing any blocks or items. It may still cause a lot of lag though...
