4096 block IDs (putting modders first!), 256 height (sea level still 64), biome data stored in the map, smaller SMP chunk packets, empty chunks no longer loaded in memory and other internal changes.
Will ship in 12w07a and 1.2 - yes, you'll be able to convert your old mcregion worlds to the new format.

Modders rejoice!

Solves all ID problems and permits Biome-modification by Terraformers :§

From 256 to 4096? A little bit like IPv4 to IPv6. Ok Albaka, make a run to the free IDs

Direct biome modification? Like changing a desert to actually SNOW during weather incidents???

Finally, he wished to express recognition for forum-user Robinton for his hard work on his rather impressive list of mods.

Looks like Jeb took a cue from Robinton, he must be proud.
