Details:
- The size and location of the Change NBT dialog, the Filter Chunks dialog, and the Edit Chunk dialog are now persistent through the session while MCA Selector is open.
- The Script editor in the Filter Chunks dialog and the Change NBT dialog now has additional functionalities:
- Groovy script files can now be opened and saved.
- The default empty script can be loaded.
- Recently opened scripts can be opened.
- An indicator shows whether the currently opened file has unsaved changes.
- Scripts are saved between sessions.
- Added the parameter
--scriptto CLI mode which can be used to load a .groovy file from a provided file path when in select, export, delete or change mode. - Refactored the Edit Chunk dialog:
- Now supports adding array types with a specific length.
- Now supports Copy-Paste with
Ctrl+CandCtrl+V, delete withDel, and cut withCtrl+X(Cmd+on Mac). - Now supports the changes to the NBT format introduced in 25w09a.
- The array editor now can edit multiple values at once.
- Added a render setting to make height shading optional. Height shading makes the terrain brighter when higher and darker when lower. A corresponding boolean parameter
--render-height-shadehas been added to CLI mode. - Added compression type field, see #494. Also added a compression type filter.
- When rendering or processing chunks involving their height, the total height is now detected automatically based on
yPosand the maximumYvalue in the list of sections. - Added Contributing section to the Wiki, explaining how to contribute to the Wiki, translations, color mappings and code.
- Added mapping generator, see Updating color mappings in the Wiki for reference.
- When installing MCA Selector through the Windows Installer, it will now delete the
libfolder to make sure no old dependency remains. This should fix the bug where it was impossible to click theOKbutton in the Filter Chunks dialog. - Fixed Sum Selection being disabled in the menu in certain circumstances, and not working correctly when using with inverted selections.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Tile Map to permanently lose focus when manually entering a number in the height slider.
- Fixed a bug where the CLI parameter
--write-threadswould set process threads instead, see #474 . - Fixed a bug where the warning dialog about an unsaved selection would not show when opening a world through
Recent World. - Fixed Status field in Change NBT dialog showing a weird string when only one chunk is selected.
- Importing chunks no longer fails the entire region if an exception occurs in a single chunk. Also added more error checking and logging and skipping. This also fixes the bug where Lodestones throw an exception when being relocated.
- Fixed a bug where drag- and dropping filters would throw an exception in some circumstances.
- Fixed RegionMatcher not working in most circumstances. RegionMatcher checks if a filter query would match a region file at all, and if it doesn't skips the file entirely.
- Fixed a bug where querying the clipboard to determine whether to enable / disable the "Paste Chunks" menu could throw an exception when the application is out of focus.
- The Windows Installer is now signed with a self signed certificate (self signed because a certificate from an authority is expensive), which, over time, may or may not reduce the occurences of the Windows Defender warning when trying to install.
- Switched the cache DB from SQLite to LevelDB.
- Refactored how region files are loaded and parsed. Ideally this should improve render performance.
- Improved color mapping.
- Improved how implementation for specific Minecraft version are handled, making it easier to add new implementations for individual DataVersions.
- Updated the NBT dependency, it now supports the new SNBT specifications from 25w09a.
- Updated copyright notice.
