Biome Adaptive Chameleon Presets

When the Chameleon Circuit is set to Adaptive Biome mode, the TARDIS exterior preset is selected based on the biome that the TARDIS travels to.

You can configure which preset is used for which biome by editing adaptive.yml. The file uses YAML aliases - for example:

/plugins/TARDIS/adaptive.yml
# snowy biomes
SNOWY_TAIGA: &snowy COLD_TAIGA
SNOWY_SLOPES: *snowy
  • &snowy defines an alias to the COLD_TAIGA preset
  • *snowy is an instance of the alias

You can either change the alias &snowy to another Chameleon preset e.g. &snowy PINE, and the other instances will use that as well, or set a preset for each individual biome.

You can use any Chameleon block preset as well as the biome presets shown below.

note

You can only use an &alias if it has been defined in the file above where you want to use the * instance - so to change every snowy biome you would need to set the alias up in the # frozen biomes section first.

Locking in a preset

You can use the Chameleon GUI to lock in an adaptive biome preset so that it is used regardless of the biome the TARDIS travels to.

To lock the preset:

  1. Set the Chameleon circuit to BIOME Adaptive mode.
  2. Travel to the biome that has the desired preset.
  3. Open the Chameleon GUI again and click the "Lock" button above the Adaptive setting.

Clicking the button will switch the settings to Shorted out and apply the biome preset on a permanent basis (it won't change when you go to a different biome).
