About 📃

Wyck is a custom biome, dimensions, and world generation API for PaperMC Servers. This API is a fork of Outspending's BiomesAPI and
has been updated to support the modern Minecraft versions. Currently, we support Minecraft 1.21.11 ↔ 26.2
but version support will expand with time.

Please be aware that Wyck is in active development, and some features may not be fully implemented yet.
Wyck was made for servers who are looking for more of an aesthetic feel to their builds.

Getting Started ⭐

Wyck is built using Gradle and is hosted on my repository (repo.wyck.dev). To get started with Wyck,
follow the instructions below to add Wyck to your project.

1. Find the latest version of Wyck HERE. Versions with a git commit hash at the end are snapshot builds and may be unstable.
2. Add the repository to your build.gradle.kts, build.gradle, or pom.xml file.

And example for Gradle Kotlin DSL is provided below:

plugins {
    // Make sure to shade it in if you're not using it as an external dependency!
    id("com.gradleup.shadow") version "$SHADOW_VERSION"
}


repositories {
    maven("https://repo.wyck.dev/releases")
}

// 3. Replace VERSION with the latest version found in step 1
dependencies {
    implementation("dev.wyck:Wyck:$VERSION")
}

// 4. Shade the Wyck package to avoid conflicts
shadowJar {
    relocate("dev.wyck", "your.package.name.wyck")
}

Wyck comes as a shaded dependency or a standalone plugin, take your pick!

Why Wyck 🤔

I believe that Wyck is one of the best ways to create custom biomes on a Paper-based Minecraft server.
At the time of writing, there are no other APIs that allow you to create custom biomes as easily as Wyck does.

Wyck is designed to be easy to use, flexible, and friendly for developers of all skill levels.

Features 👌

• Easy to use
• Updated frequently
• Free forever
• Wiki and javadocs available
• Supports modern Minecraft versions
• Supports packet-based biome changing with ProtocolLib or PacketEvents
