World Blend Snapshots
World Blend Snapshots: Smooth Transitions for Minecraft Snapshots
This is a special Minecraft modification that restores the missing world blending feature for worlds created during the development of version 1.18. Typically, this technology only works with worlds created in versions 1.17.x and earlier, but this addon fixes this limitation.
Installation and Compatibility
The mod supports two main frameworks:
- Fabric (works without additional libraries)
- Forge
The installation process is standard: after installing the chosen mod loader, simply download the .jar file and place it in the .minecraft/mods folder.
Operation Features
Important conditions: Requires Minecraft version 1.18.1 or newer for proper operation. The mod only smooths world regions (chunks) that were saved in previous game versions. If you have already opened your world in version 1.18.1 and loaded edge areas of the global map, the blending effect may not work.
Step-by-step procedure:
- Install Minecraft 1.18.1 or newer
- Add this mod to the game
- Always create a backup of your world before starting
- Load the desired world with the mod installed
If you encounter problems because some areas have already been resaved in the new version, you can use special tools like MCA Selector. With it, you can select problematic blocks and change their DataVersion tag to value 2864 (previous version before 1.18.1). Remember: blending is only applied to newly generated areas adjacent to existing ones. If you've already created new regions in 1.18.1, you'll need to delete them.
The developer is considering improving the mod for compatibility with worlds that have already been opened in version 1.18.1, if this feature proves popular among the player community.
