# EarthToMC v2.1 - 2026/06/25
* Support for Minecraft Java 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2
* [NEW FEATURE] New "Vanilla caves & ores (Underilla)" underground type for Minecraft 1.21.5 or later: after the world is generated, vanilla underground is merged beneath the surface using the Underilla plugin on a temporary local Paper server. Customizable settings for controlling vanilla caves & carvers, ores/decoration, structures and more
* [NEW FEATURE] Added a "Merge multiple .world tiles into a big WorldPainter project" option that will merge the WP .world tiles into one big tile before manually editing the maps. This feature is experimental and increases the risk of out of RAM issues
* Rivers and lakes on maps with a scale greater than 30m now use OpenStreetMap data, with more realistic river widths compared to the less precise Natural Earth data
* Rivers are now classified by their real length into three categories: major (> 400km), regional (100 to 400km) and minor (< 100km). It's now possible choosing which categories to include in the map
* Added a "Make important rivers (length > 400km) even wider" option in Advanced Mode, to be used alongside the existing "Make rivers wider" option
* Fixed a major bug where river and lake depths were not properly rounded between the floor and the coast (bug introduced in v2.0)
* Added an option called "Pre-generate the world after the worldpainter export stage ends" that will let Minecraft populate the whole map using a Paper server instance after the WP export stage
* Fixed a bug where the "Cut bathymetry below y=-64" option could leave voids in the deepest sea floor areas; the sea floor is now clamped one block above bedrock (y=-63)
* Faster biome classification stage with a significantly lower RAM usage, reducing out of ram errors (Error code 20) especially on Biomes O' Plenty and Terralith maps
* Fixed a bug where some islands inside rivers and lakes could be submerged by the water and disappear from the map
* Fixed a bug where using a decimal terrain exaggeration value (e.g. 5.5) could cause coastal and low-elevation areas to appear below the water level due to an elevation mapping precision error
* Tiny isolated ponds (smaller than 4 km²) are now excluded from low resolution maps (> 30m) in order to avoid "random puddles of water"
* Fixed OpenStreetMap tiles occasionally showing "403 Access blocked" in the map viewer due to missing HTTP Referer header
* Fixed a bug where the "Remove lava lakes" option and custom trees vanilla tree removal had no effect on many biomes such as Jungle, Savanna and others due to a datapack issue
* Steep desert slopes now use a sandstone terrain instead of plain sand: sandstone is applied where the slope is greater than 15 degrees within the Desert biome
* Replaced coarse dirt terrain with dirt path terrain for a more natural looking transition between deserts and grassy areas
* Fixed a bug in the "mountain_steppe" terralith biome causing a "Safe Mode" warning when loading a world in certain mc versions
* Fixed a bug causing river biomes to be applied in certain areas where rivers are not there
* Better classification of arid regions (biomes and terrain type) in certain Middle East areas
* Fixed a bug where rotated maps that include OpenStreetMap roads & buildings could fail with Critical Error 20 during the biome classification stage
* Fixed a bug preventing the resume of an unfinished map on native Linux (non-WSL) systems, where pressing "Yes" in the resume dialog did nothing
* Fixed the auto-detection of the default Minecraft and Desktop folders on native Linux (non-WSL) systems
* Fixed a bug while trying to do a full Earth map with custom projections in certain scenarios (bug introduced in v2.0)
* Fixed a bug when using certain custom projections (bug introduced in v2.0)
* Fixed a bug causing syntax errors to be written in the datapacks (even if they were not causing issues in-game)
* Safer method of processing of the Biome Classification algorithm in order to avoid Critical Error 20 especially on certain linux setups
* Fixed a bug where custom trees layers were silently dropped on Terralith maps in certain scenarios leaving the affected biomes without any trees
* It's now possible to manually select "Wayland" or "XCB" as graphic backend in "Preferences" in case of issues with graphics / multi-monitor setups
* Fixed a bug where the final compression to .7z could fail silently (e.g. due to I/O errors / full disk) causing no world to be saved at all
* The standard 100k x 100k map size safety limit has been extended to 200k x 200k
* Fixed an out of memory error that could occur while generating the merged WP preview on very large maps; the merged preview is now skipped for maps larger than 32768x32768

* It's now possible to make rivers bigger up to a width of 8 minimum blocks, even at lower resolutions (> 100m). Ideal for fictional-style maps, not recommended for realism
* The Meadow biome grass color is now similar to the Plains biome one, in order to reduce visible differences of grass colors across them
