I'm trying my hand at modding and have created a custom desert-style biome, but all those pesky lakes dotted around really don't suit the biome's aesthetic or theme, so I would like to get rid of them. How does one go about doing this, and is it possible without editing Minecraft source code (which I understand is impossible through Eclipse for this version) or creating a new world type?

Bump?

It is hard to accurately help when there is no code to see. Please post your source for the biome so we can see it.

Uh, my question is general. I'm asking how, if at all, you get rid of the water and lava surface lakes that generate as a part of vanilla Minecraft, and if it can be done without editing Minecraft source code or creating a new world type. It does not pertain to my code specifically.

 

I had a snoop around in BiomeGenBase and found a boolean, "generateLakes", but setting it to false in my biome class had no effect. From what I recall from gameplay, lakes don't generate in Biomes O Plenty desert biomes, so I know it's possible, I'm just not sure whether or not Biomes O Plenty does any source code patching.
