Biome Dictionary, inconsistency in default registrations

[keybounce 2]

BiomeDictionary.java has the following registration:

        registerBiomeType(extremeHills,        MOUNTAIN, HILLS                              );

 

In MakeBestGuess(), Hills and Mountain are exclusive; all the other extreme hills variants are either hills or mountains.

 

Equally, Extreme Hills + (162) and Extreme Hills M (131) are marked as hills, not mountains.

MakeBestGuess() is using a comparison of height variation against 1.5F. This value being tested used to be the max height (in 164 and earlier); none of the vanilla biomes have a height variation that large in 1.7. Even the savannah variants at 163/164 don't hit that, and they are the largest in vanilla 1.7. I think this test is definitely bugged.

Additional flaws:

 

1. Ice Mountains, despite the name, has the same base height 0.45 and variation 0.3 as all the hills. It should have the hills tag, not the mountains (it is not in the same category with extreme hills).

2. Mesa Plateau F M and Mesa Plateau M also have the same 0.45 and 0.3. Yet "FM" has no height tag, and "M" has the "plains" tag. (biomes 166 and 167)

3. "Savanna Plateau M" has the biggest heights in the game -- base 1.05, variation 1.2125, can get really high, yet is only "hills" -- that's like calling the Himalayas "hills".

Feel free to PR it with these justifications, untill then dont care they are rather arbitrarily stuck in places anway.

Where can I find instructions on submitting a pull request to forge?

 

(I'm serious: I don't know how to fetch the source, compile it, test it, make changes, and then get those changes sent back to you. What little I understand is that forge is not quite the same as normal mods and has a different behavior, and I have enough trouble getting a github pull request for mods I play around with a lot.)
