TARDIS biome-setting code

[DalekCraft2]

I am currently changing much of the code of the plugin to be more up-to-date and simply cleaner. Because the method what is used to set biomes of some TARDIS exteriors includes a deprecated setBiome(int, int, Biome) method, I want to add a Y parameter to update it. However, I am confused by how it works; the for loops have ranges of -3 <= (X and Z) < 4, which suggests that the biome areas are larger than the 3x3 areas what are necessary for TARDISes. I also do not know how exactly I should implement the Y parameter, since I do not know how exactly I would need to adjust these ranges. May I have an explanation as to why they are set at these values?

Could this work?

I've tried to update the biome code fairly recently as the method has been deprecated for a while, but never go it to work which is why I left it as is. The issue seems to be in the Minecraft code rather than Bukkit's. Mojang has changed the way that biomes are set in general and even setting the biome for a single block column results in other blocks being changed.

The area being set currently changes depending on which way the TARDIS exterior is facing - it will always be a (x,y,z) 3x4x4 or 4x4x3 cubic area due to the column for the sign:

  X       X X X     
X X X     X X X       X X X     X X X     
X X X     X X X     X X X X     X X X X
X X X       X         X X X     X X X

How does the Blast Furnace make the Artron Furnace obsolete?

Both smelt things faster.

Maybe I will just remove it and the CTM exteriors, then.

Maybe, you'll have to deal with existing exterior preset records in the database though, it won't be as simple as just removing the code / textures...

Luckily, IntelliJ has very nice features for editing many files at once whilst deleting files and renaming variables and such.
