more or less :P
i had some trouble to configure the glacier biome, but now i have it right.
still adjusting the beach/height for the other biomes.
when it's done i will add 2 new blocks: mossy earth-cobble and magma block.

Why is progress going so slow?

that is because... um...
*runs away*


Edit:

ok, i didn't finish everything i wanted to finish, but i made the biome definitions and most of the liquid interactions.
- lava-cooling is slightly slowed down
- ice-melting happens at the same speed
- lava can melt snow blocks and ice into river water sources and makes a splashing sound
- snow blocks can freeze water sources and make a cracking sound (fun to watch)
- grass spreading is slightly accelerated
- moss growth has the same speed as grass spread
- dirt with mossy grass also triggers moss growth

to do:
- make lava burn sands to stones
- add mossy dirt-cobble
- add magma block with liquid interaction
- add recipes for grinding stones to sands

Can't wait to try this!

The Fox liked the grass and spent many days watching it spread all over the world.
but eventually the grass had covered every place on the surface and started to grow into dark caves, in rivers and lakes and even the ocean.
The grass was too strong and ruled over everything else in the world.
"It was not supposed to be like this, I must stop this..."
And so the Fox gave the grass weakness. From now on it would only grow in the sunlight and perish in dark places.

The next day, the Fox found a volcano and was shocked how the lava was all cuddly and cosy.
Fire and water can not be friends like that, he had to separate the elements somehow...
So the Fox spoke to the lava:
"Hey, listen... The grass said that your mother is *@#$%€$&^×₩¥€!!!#..."
The lava got furious and mad. It heated up so much that the earth melted and whenever it got near any grass or moss, it burned it to ashes along with everything else.
To prevent the lava from emerging to the surface and destroying his world, he also spoke to the water:
"Psst... you didn't hear this from me, but... lava-senpai loves someone else. It's burning hot with passion, but it's not too late, yet. If you embrace it and cool it down until it's solid, it will forget about the other and be only yours again ;)"
The water got excited and seas waved, faintly whispering "senpai... senpai..."
From this day on, whenever water and lava came together, the water would turn the lava into solid obsidian while whispering "you should look only at me, senpai".


the new mossy earth cobble compared to mossy rock cobble
(and in the background you can see the missing desert :P )


the liquid interaction has been completed for all existing nodes =(^.^)=
in addition to obsidian/stone generation, there is water freezing and ice melting.
obsidian gets heated to magma (reverted by lavacooling), moss burns off and sand is smelted back to stone.

i love the story.

Nice!
