This release adds an NBT editor for chunk data, more translations and fixes some bugs.

Details:

• Added spanish translation (thanks to @NathanielFreeman for translating)
• Added portuguese translation (thanks to @cr1st0ph3r for translating)
• Added support for newlines in language files using \n
• Changed the language dropdown in the settings to always show the available languages in their language instead of the currently selected language
• Importing chunks now can be applied to selection only
• When generating the top-down view, more validity checks are done to keep errors on the chunk level
• Fixed a bug that when scrolling the map view to the right with D and pressing Ctrl to open the "Delete selected chunks" dialog would not stop scrolling
• Added a hint to the readme that comma separated values in the chunk filter are connected by AND
• The "Change NBT" dialog now show a hint of the data currently in the chunk if only one chunk is selected
• The "Change NBT" dialog now has "Apply to selection only" selected by default
• Added the tool "Edit chunk" in the Tools menu:
  • Can be used when a single chunk is selected
  • Shows a simple NBT editor that allows changing keys in compound tags, values, drag- and drop, adding new values and deleting values
  • Features an even simpler editor for arrays that allows values to be edited, new values to be added or values to be deleted. When holding Shift it is possible to add 16 values at a time.

"Requirements":

• Either:
  • JRE 8+, you can get it from HERE
  • A Minecraft Java Edition installation
• A computer
• A brain

If you have Java from Oracle installed on your system:

Most likely, .jar files are associated with java on your computer, it should therefore launch by simply double clicking the file (or however your OS is configured to open files using your mouse or keyboard). If not, you can try java -jar mcaselector-1.9.jar from your console. If this doesn't work, you might want to look into how to modify the PATH variable on your system to tell your system that java is an executable program.

If you have Minecraft Java Edition installed on your system:

Minecraft Java Edition comes with a JRE that you can use to start the MCA Selector, so there is no need to install another version of java on your system. On Windows, that java version is usually located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\bin\ and once inside this folder you can simply run java.exe -jar <path-to-mcaselector-1.9.jar>. On Mac OS you should find it in Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/runtime/jre-x64/1.8.0_74/bin where you can execute ./java -jar <path-to-mcaselector-1.9.jar>.

If you are using OpenJDK:

If you are using a distribution of OpenJDK, you have to make sure that it comes with JavaFX, as it is needed to run the MCA Selector. Some distributions like AdoptOpenJDK (shipped with most Linux distributions) do not ship with JavaFX by default. On Debian distributions, an open version of JavaFX is contained in the openjfx package. This or some other installation of JavaFX is required to run the .jar.

If none of these instructions work, apply "A brain" that you providently held ready after having read the "Requirements" section carefully.
