Who wants some work? If there is one out there, I came up with this idea for modders: Adding today's worlds biomes to the minecraft world. Well, what I mean is adding hemispheres to the minecraft world like when you are in the northern hemisphere, and go north, the biomes will be colder ones like taiga or ice plains or whatever, and the opposite for the southern hemishere when you go south the biomes will get colder and after travelling a lot of distance* to the south for example, you will pass through the poles and start going north like in real world. so eventually you will return to where you start if you go straight. I know this is a lot of coding(rewriting the generation engine etc.) but this is why I started my post with that sentence. So, if you are searching for an original idea for a mod, this is for you and it will keep you occupied maybe a few months Anyways, if someone is able to do this, be sure that I will download it at least
*That distance should be very long so that Minecraft won't lose it's "infinite" world feeling.
PS: Btw you should make it so that there is tons of jungles through the equator, I mean around Z=0
LOL i think that would require rewriting the lighting engine for the northern lights, but it sounds like a cool mod. i also hope someone will work on this.

Maybe copying the generating codes and transform them to be in a specific region can do it? I mean using the same code in the algorythm which depends on the seed and make it depending on the z coordinates. I don't know if it is possible or not just being optimist

That's a very good idea. I'm implementing something similar into my mod, TerraFormaCraft. Also, in terms of myself being a dev, there wouldn't be so much "rewriting" the "engine" as would be overriding it. MinecraftForge now has (and has had for a while now) a feature called AccessTransformers, which allows devs to override default Vanilla functions w/out having to edit any base classes. Just that might be a good insight for future statements.
