## Latitude 1.3.0 (MC 1.21.11) Latitude 1.3.0 is a major upgrade from the 1.2.x line. It makes the world read more like a coherent climate system, while also improving stability and the first-run player experience. ### Major worldgen improvements - Reworked the climate-band model and related biome policy so latitude structure reads more clearly and more naturally. - Reduced scattered confetti biome placement and improved biome contiguity across the world. - Strengthened regional biome identity so key biomes feel more intentional and less thin, noisy, or patchy. - Improved high-value cases like badlands and Pale Garden so they form more convincingly as real places. - Restored missing or underrepresented biome outcomes in the regions where players would expect to find them. - Smoothed climate handoff behavior so transitions feel less arbitrary and less visibly synthetic. ### Player-facing improvements - Refined the create-world and loading flow so starting a world feels more intentional and less abrupt. - Implemented bespoke Create New World screen and world loading screens for a little extra polish. - Fixed the excessively long first-time world creation/loading delay from the 1.2.x line, so first entry now feels much closer to normal vanilla startup. - Improved first-entry behavior after world creation and after upgrading an existing save. - Improved the first-run experience so the mod feels smoother and more finished from the moment you create or open a world. ### Existing-world compatibility - Existing 1.2.x worlds keep their legacy worldgen policy when opened in 1.3.0. - The upgraded-save crash caused by a missing `worldgen_policy` bootstrap path was fixed. ### Validation - Structural audits passed. - Invariant scan passed. - Release integrity checks passed. - Live upgrade and save smoke checks passed.
