[DEV] Bedrock 1.18 3D biome format
I couldn’t find any information about the new biome storage format introduced in Bedrock 1.18, so I did some reverse engineering, and share the results to help others.
Bedrock 1.18 assigns a biome for each block, unlike Java, which assigns one to a 4x4x4 cube. Biome data for a whole chunk is stored in one LevelDB entry with the chunk key type 43 (0x2b), containing biome information for each subchunk.
Entry format:
- 512 bytes: seems to be a heightmap
- Paletted biome data for each subchunk from bottom to top
- 1 byte header
- bit 0: always 1 (?)
- bits 7..1: bits per value for the following array (can be 0 if the palette contains only one biome)
- 0xff indicates non-existent subchunk, in this case the following array and palette data are omitted
- n bytes: biome data for each block in the 16x16x16 subchunk in XZY order using the same aligned bit-packed int32 array format used for paletted block data. This array is omitted if the palette contains only one biome.
- 1 byte: biome palette length
- n * int32: biome palette entries (numeric biome IDs)
- 1 byte header

[WIP] Biomes #2
The first result of biome conditional rendering (can you find the savanna?):
Update: it will work with 1.12 worlds as well:
uNmINeD 0.16.4
New uNmINeD development snapshot is available for download!
Changes:
- Fixed random System.IO.IOException during web map generation
uNmINeD 0.16.3 – World height
New uNmINeD development snapshot is available for download!
Changes:
- (GUI) Added altitude settings to make amplified worlds and various world heights look better
- Changed tree log color from green to brown to make buildings with log roofs more visible
- Fixed seagrass and kelp keep appearing when using the slicer
- Fixed grass blocks in 1.12 and older worlds were loaded as
grassinstead ofgrass_block - (CLI) Changed the
(x2,z2)point of the--area=r((x1,z1),(x2,z2))parameter to inclusive - (CLI) Fixed
--imageformatdoes not work with lowercase values - Reworked internals to handle waterlogged blocks and block states better
- Reworked gradient and curve generators to handle custom world heights and MC 1.18 better
There are various mountain heights across Minecraft versions and custom/modded world types. Using the altitude settings the elevation gradient and other map style elements can be adjusted to match the actual height of the mountains and the actual sea level. uNmINeD determines the default settings based on world version.
uNmINeD 0.16.2
New uNmINeD development snapshot is available for download!
Changes:
- Added an Apple M1 build (CLI & GUI)
- (GUI) The green-brown elevation gradient now can be turned off
- Adjusted block colors: red sand, end stone, purpur, chorus plant
- Minor fixes
