Research direction

Start by reading the current Biome API and the Biome.register and GameRegistry.register entry points. Trace how a biome is added to the default world and how the client’s create-world advanced dialog obtains its biome choices. Done means the documentation covers registration, default-world integration, and advanced-dialog selection for current APIs.

Description

Page Request

i found that there's no documentation whatsoever about world- and biome generation. i found a few topics at the forge forum but all those are using the BiomeGen class, which isn't available anymore. rather there's a Biome class which i can extend from, but no idea how i register a new biome (theres Biome.register and GameRegistry.register).

also, would be nice to know how to add a new biome to the default world, and even nicer if it could be selected in the "create world" advanced dialog of the client (where you can set of which biomes the world should be created, e.g. "All", "Ocean", "Hills", etc
