"Requirements":

• Either:
  • JRE 8+, you can get it from HERE
  • A Minecraft Java Edition installation
• A computer
• A brain

If you have Java from Oracle installed on your system

Most likely, .jar files are associated with java on your computer, it should therefore launch by simply double clicking the file (or however your OS is configured to open files using your mouse or keyboard). If not, you can try java -jar mcaselector-1.9.9.jar from your console. If this doesn't work, you might want to look into how to modify the PATH variable on your system to tell your system that java is an executable program.

If you have Minecraft Java Edition installed on your system

Minecraft Java Edition comes with a JRE that you can use to start the MCA Selector, so there is no need to install another version of java on your system. On Windows, that java version is usually located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\bin\ and once inside this folder you can simply run java.exe -jar <path-to-mcaselector-1.9.9.jar>. On Mac OS you should find it in ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/runtime/jre-x64/jre.bundle/Contents/Home/bin/ where you can execute ./java -jar <path-to-mcaselector-1.9.9.jar>.

WARNING: For macOS 10.14+ (Mojave) It is NOT recommended to use the JRE provided by Minecraft (1.8.0_74), because it contains a severe bug that causes JavaFX applications to crash when they lose focus while a dialog window (such as the save-file-dialog) is open (see the bug report here). This bug has been fixed in Java 1.8.0_201 and above.

If you are using OpenJDK

If you are using a distribution of OpenJDK, you have to make sure that it comes with JavaFX, as it is needed to run the MCA Selector. Some distributions like AdoptOpenJDK (shipped with most Linux distributions) do not ship with JavaFX by default. On Debian distributions, an open version of JavaFX is contained in the openjfx package. This or some other installation of JavaFX is required to run the .jar.

If none of these instructions work, apply "A brain" that you providently held ready after having read the "Requirements" section carefully.

mcaselector-1.9.8

This release fixes incorrect location adjustment during chunk imports.

Details

• Fixed a bug where the chunk import failed when an item didn't contain another item.
• Fixed a bug where changing villager target locations checked for the wrong tag type.
• Added the license file to gradle jar and shadowJar tasks to be packed with the final jar file
• Updated copyright notice

mcaselector-1.9.5

This release fixes some bugs and adds more translations.

Details

• Now uses the path of the jar file to create the cache folder and settings.ini instead of the working directory
• File dialogs now remember the last directory where a file was opened from / saved to. This is based on the context: E.g. importing and exporting selections is remembered separately from importing and exporting chunks or opening a world.
• Fixed some exceptions not being logged to debug.log
• Updated color, entity and biome mappings to 20w13b
• Added an in-memory caching system for the tile map
• Fixed a bug where importing chunks with an offset applied the offset to structure references incorrectly. If you imported chunks with structures generated by the game (e.g. Mineshafts, Mansions, Monuments, ...) with an offset you might see an error in in the console like this: Found invalid structure reference [ Mineshaft @ [-1372, -1] ] for chunk [-1374, 32883]. This can be fixed by doing the following:
  • Open the world in MCA Selector
  • Select the chunks that have been imported
  • Use Selection-->Export Selection to export the selection
  • Close MCA Selector
  • Open a console and run MCA Selector in headless mode with the following command: java -jar mcaselector-1.9.5.jar --headless --mode change --query "FixStructureReferences = true" --world "path/to/region/folder/" --input "path/to/selection.csv"
• Added support for chunk import changing coordinates assigned to items (lodestone compass)
• Chunk location is now based on mca file index instead of xPos and zPos

mcaselector-1.9.4

Details

• Added French (France) translation (thanks to @SkytAsul and @DoctaEnkoda for translating).

• Fixed a bug with the progress bar not disappearing when importing chunks with an odd offset.
• Fixed a bug where importing chunks might create empty files.
• Added color mappings, biomes and entities for Minecraft 1.16.
• Fixed the Nether view to work with the new Nether biomes from 1.16.
• The arrow keys can now be used in addition to WASD to navigate the map view as a temporary compromise for people with a different keyboard layout other than QWERTY or QWERTZ.
• Fixed vertical scroll bars not showing in the NBT editor, the Array editor and the Chunk filter dropdown.
• Added a log file system. When debug mode is enabled, all logs are now also printed to a file called debug.log. This file is updated automatically every 10 seconds. Exceptions of the same type will be bundled to not flood it with too much repeating data (especially useful to debug unsupported and future Minecraft versions).
• When a filter is used to create a selection, a number can now be specified to also select all adjacent chunks in a specific radius. Can also be used in headless mode when using --mode select with --radius <number>.
