biomed
What it is
biomed is a free Minecraft biome editor for Java world saves. Users select a biome and apply it to the map with Fill or Draw tools, then switch between biome view and map view. Its Fix Snow/Ice tool adjusts snow and ice to match warm or cold biomes. A savegame can be opened through the File menu, or users can select the map’s region directory manually; changes are saved through the File menu. The tool supports batch operations and Minecraft saves containing level.dat and a region directory. Its scope is limited to biome and region editing: terrain and entities are not edited. biomed supports Linux, macOS, and Windows and requires GTK 2.x. Precompiled downloads are listed for 64-bit Linux and 32-bit Windows. The README advises backing up maps before editing. The MIT license permits use, copying, modification, distribution, sublicensing, and sale subject to its conditions, and disclaims warranty.
