Well, still, thank you for your help! I will continue searching for what's happening, so if I find something, I'll post it here So far I figured out that the update doesn't affect the whole chunk, several layers of grass or leaves can be different colors at the same time

Thank you for your replies! I've done the same thing that this method does, but the problem on screenshot (https://imgur.com/a/9qNBhxS) remains. Sometimes everything changes ok but the rest of the times the result is the same as in the screenshot. Breaking/placing block inside the chunk fixes the problem public void changeBiome() { if(!level.isClientSide()){ // Now this piece of code runs only on server side final Chunk chunk = level.getChunkAt(worldPosition); Biome[] biomes = chunk.getBiomes().biomes; for (int i = 0, biomesLength = biomes.length; i < biomesLength; i++) { DynamicRegistries reg = level.registryAccess(); MutableRegistry<Biome> a = reg.registry(Registry.BIOME_REGISTRY).get(); Biome biome = a.get(Biomes.DESERT.location()); biomes[i] = biome; } // This line does basically the same that PacketDistributor#trackingChunk does ((ServerChunkProvider)level.getChunkSource()).chunkMap.getPlayers(chunk.getPos(), false) .forEach(e -> e.connection.send(new SChunkDataPacket(chunk, 65535))); } else { // Update chunk? } } I guess that the only thing remains is to update the chunk on client, how can I do that?

Ok, that makes sense I understand that and still, how do I send this packet? I found info only about custom packets, not the vanilla ones

Biomes.DESERT.location() returns the correct ResourceLocation (minecraft:desert) No, the client knows about the biome change, since this method fires on both sides. If it works only on server side, the client needs to revisit a chunk, F3 + A is not enough Yes, that's basically what I need. Is SChunkDataPacket going to fix this issue? If so, how can I send this vanilla packet?

Instead of getting the desert biome I just typed new ResourceLocation("minecraft:desert") and it finally worked! The final code is public void changeBiome() { Biome[] biomes = level.getChunkAt(worldPosition).getBiomes().biomes; for (int i = 0, biomesLength = biomes.length; i < biomesLength; i++) { DynamicRegistries reg = level.registryAccess(); MutableRegistry<Biome> a = reg.registry(Registry.BIOME_REGISTRY).get(); Biome biome = a.get(new ResourceLocation("minecraft:desert")); biomes[i] = biome; } } But the only thing left is that the grass color doesn't change instantly, but when I click F3 + A (only if I click the combination twice) it looks how it should be (grass changes from plains green to yellow) If I hit F3 + A only 1 time, the borders between biomes become sharp between the chunks https://imgur.com/a/9qNBhxS (screenshot) Is there a way to reload a chunk like F3 + A does? And thank you for all of your replies!

For some reason the code Biomes.DESERT.getRegistryName().toString() returns "minecraft:worldgen/biome"...

Now it's doing a NullPointerException... I just did this level.registryAccess().registry(Registry.BIOME_REGISTRY).get().get(Biomes.DESERT.getRegistryName()).toString() The second get method returns null

And then what field or method should I call? I just couldn't find anything suitable

I've tried this, but how do I turn RegistryKey to Biome?

It's method that returns Biome, there's a bunch of those for each biome inside BiomeMaker class

if(!level.isClientSide()){ Biome[] biomes = level.getChunkAt(worldPosition).getBiomes().biomes; sendToChat(BiomeMaker.desertBiome(.125f, .05f, false, false, false).toString()); for (int i = 0, biomesLength = biomes.length; i < biomesLength; i++) { biomes[i] = BiomeMaker.desertBiome(.125f, .05f, false, false, false); sendToChat("" + i + ": " + biomes[i].getRegistryName()); } } This is a piece of code is called when I right click on a block, it's inside of a TileEntity

Thanks for you reply! Ok, I've figured it out that chunk is divided to cubes with 4 blocks side and each of the cubes has it's own biome. But still, I want to change biome in the whole chunk, so I change every element of the array to another biome and it doesn't change (registry name says it's null biome), and the changes don't save (when I reload the world, biomes are back to normal)

Thank you for your replies! I created an AT and checked what's inside of this array. Why is there 1024 Biome instances? Is it 4 instances for each block in a chunk or what? I inspected BiomeContainer#getNoiseBiome, but it didn't make much sense since I don't know what 3 int parameters supposed to mean (xyz? I thought biome stretches from y=0 to y=255. Maybe it's 16x16 and 4 layers vertically? idk) I've tried changing stuff inside of the array (using BiomeMaker methods) but after I did that, when I checked again the array and the registry names of biomes inside are all null. After I restart the world it turns back to normal (minecraft:plains or more) So I need to call this method on every block inside of chunk, so it gets zoomed? I don't think it's what you meant though...

Thank you for your reply! The block will be placed by a player, so, the chunk is generated. So, I need to create an access transformer to change biome array's signature from "private final" to "public", right? What does it mean "unzoomed biome"? And how do I apply zoom with BiomeManager?

I want to create a block that changes chunk biome after player clicks on it. I've found some old tutorials (for Minecraft 1.10) on how to do this but when I tried to do the same, needed methods just aren't there anymore. Is it even possible on newer versions? Thanks!
