1.20-7.3.5:
- Fixed maxfloors not being honored completely. It was possible for buildings to go to maxfloors+1
- Multibuildings will now override structures no matter what. This had to be done because otherwise multibuildings could sometimes generate partially

1.20-7.3.4:
- Fixed a bug with cellars

1.20-7.3.3:
- Fixed a bug where scattered multibuildings would sometimes only generate partially
- Extended the range of the locatepart command (from max 15 chunk distance to 30)
- New locate command to locate a building. This command also works if edit mode is not enabled
- Slightly reduced multibuilding chances
- Slightly reduced scattered building chances
- Added a new 'settings' block to the world style. Currently only contains the new 'railwayavoidance' with as two options: 'ignore' and 'block_railway' ('ignore' is currently default). With 'block_railway' railways will not generate if a building has a lot of cellars and it would intersect the railway. i.e. buildings have priority over railways

1.20-7.3.2:
- Now also avoid pillager outposts with the avoidStructures option
- New server config options 'avoidStructuresAdjacent' and 'avoidVillagesAdjacent' to avoid generating Lost Cities in chunks that have structures or villages adjacent to them. Default on
- New server config option 'avoidFlattening' to avoid flattening the terrain where structures were avoided. Default on

1.20-7.3.1:
- Better api to get multibuilding information

1.20-7.3.0:
- Better error reporting in some situations
- Highway parts can now be randomized
- Railway parts can now be randomized
- Streets are now parts ('street_*.json') and can be customized. Part of the city style. This means that the old settings like streetWidth and the street palette entries are no longer used!
- Added new 'cityMinHeight' and 'cityMaxHeight' profile options to better control where cities can spawn based on the height of the terrain
- New command 'resumeedit' to resume editing a part after reloading the world
- Major refactor of the multi building system:
    - This system should be much faster
    - Very large multibuildings have better chances to actually spawn
    - New 'multisettings' block in the world style. This allows control over how the multibuildings spawn
- 'multi_max_x' and 'multi_max_z' have now been removed from the profile. They are no longer used
- 'building2x2Chance' has now been removed from the profile. It is no longer used

1.20-7.2.1:
- Fixed a problem with the exportpart command
- Fixed a problem with editmode. It didn't properly remember the editing data when reloading a world

1.20-7.2.0:
- Big optimization during worldgen. Most of the todo queues are now avoided
- Flattening/interpolation of the heightmap now goes to build limit
- New forceSaplingGrowth server config option to disable the expensive auto sapling grow
- New avoidStructures server config option to avoid generating Lost Cities in chunks that have structures. By default the following structures are avoided (besides villages): mansions, igloos, swamp huts, and temples
- Fixed a problem where sometimes you could have floating trees
- Greatly extended the palette that can be exported by the exportpart command. It now includes a lot of unicode characters as well

1.20-7.1.8:
- New 'stuff' feature. Using this you can define various random small objects that can be generated through cities (both inside and outside buildings)
- City styles can now specify what type of stuff they want to generate. Stuff that is marked with the tag 'all' is always generated
- Fixed a bug where predefined cities and spheres wouldn't work at all

1.20-7.1.7:
- TqLxQuanZ fixed a problem where generation data wasn't properly saved which could cause generation errors if you exited the world and re-entered

1.20-7.1.6:
- Fixed a bug where switching worlds with different profiles would sometimes cause the old profile to be used

1.20-7.1.5:
- Optimization to make it so that buildings with tons of spawners, chests, and other tile entities will cause less lag on a server by spreading the load over multiple ticks. Use the 'todoQueueSize' server config to configure this. By default it is set to 20
- Fixed a bug where the POI todo wasn't persisted

1.20-7.1.4:
- TqLxQuanZ speed up world generation speed if the chunk is not a city

1.20-7.1.3:
- TqLxQuanZ fixed the scattered building can generate on air when there's a terrain correction in the current chunk

- Finally fixed the POI warning that was spamming the log during chunk generation

1.20-7.1.0:
- New 'allowvoid' keyword for scattered references. This allows you to specify that a building can be placed in void chunks. By default this is false
- Reintroduced and tweaked the 'floating', 'caves', and 'space' profiles. These are meant to be used in combination with Lost Worlds mod
- No longer spawn player in solid blocks for the lost city dimension and in combination with Lost Worlds
- Better spawn location for cavern style worlds
- In floating profile the underside of buildings is generated better
- Tooltips are back in the Lost City configuration screen. Added info about cavern and floating profiles

- It's now possible to toggle between different worldstyles in the Lost Cities world creation screen

1.18-5.3.3:
- Multibuildings can now be any size with a maximum of 3x3. So 1x2, 2x3, 2x2, ...
- New type of 'scattered' buildings. These are 1x1 or multi buildings that will generate randomly outside cities
- Cleaned up the palettes and got rid of all legacy names and blockstates using metadata. These are no longer supported. Use the <modid>:<blockid>[<properties>...] format instead

- Cleaned up a lot of code
- The spawn configuration options are back
- Added forceSpawnInBuilding to force the spawn inside a building (might fail if there is no building near spawn)
- New feature where you can specify rubble blocks for a building. These will be used instead of the filler block but only for when buildings are damaged and spill over in adjacent chunks
- New 'variant' asset type where you can define sets of blocks that can then be used in palettes. This makes defining different palettes easier
- All assets are now converted to datapack objects. This totally changes the way you can reconfigure Lost Cities
- Expanded the worldstyle asset type with a new 'citychancemultipliers' section that allows you to specify biomes where cities should spawn less or more
- The city biome factors have been removed from the profile. This is now better handled in the asset system (worldstyle)
- The standard worldstyle avoids rivers slightly and oceans a bit more

1.18-5.2.6:
- New system to control city rarity based on perlin maps. If the cityChance setting is -1 then cityPerlinScale and cityPerlinOffset will be used for a more natural city style
- New 'cityStyleThreshold' and 'cityStyleAlternative' that can be used to select another city style for low city thresholds
- New 'largecities' profile using the new setting. It presents very large cities that are relatively rare. It also uses an alternative city style at the borders of the city
- Removed the non functional chisel worldstyle and palettes
- Having a missing asset file is no longer a crashing error but it will put an error in the log and ignore the asset
- Citystyles can now override the building chance

1.18-5.2.5:
- Fixed a problem where spawners might not be correctly set if the Lost City world is exited and loaded again

1.18-5.2.4:
- All mob spawners were spawning pigs. This is fixed now
- The Lost Cities events are back (useful for mods who want to do something special to LC worldgen)

- Made borders below buildings and streets only go as deep as needed. This means that you will no longer have ugly borders going down into caves from buildings on top of it
- The test if a chunk is an ocean chunk was totally wrong. This caused some generation to be ugly. Cleaned up biome test code
- Small optimizations
- Added a new 'grass' block to the 'parkblocks' in the city style so that you can use the full palette system for grass in parks
- Added a new 'generalblocks' section to city style so you can specify a few more blocks ('ironbars', 'glowstone', ...)
- New configuration option 'oceanCorrectionBorder' that can be used to change how chunks adjacent to ocean/city chunks will be corrected

1.18-5.1.2:
- Much more stable way to generate the Lost City chunks. No more worldgen warnings and tallbuildings profile works again
- MUCH faster way to detect (and delete) floating building parts after being damaged by explosions. It is however slightly less accurate

1.18-5.1.1:

1.18-5.1.0:
- Port to 1.18.2

1.18-5.0.4:

- Fixed a problem with the bedrock layer generating at 0 under city buildings

1.18-5.0.1:
- Better at preventing cities where there are villages

1.18-5.0.0:
- First port of Lost Cities to 1.18

1.16-4.0.10-beta:
- Fixed the problem where beds would explode right after teleporting to and from the Lost City dimension

1.16-4.0.9-beta:
- Added back the specialBedBlock config (in lostcities-server.toml) so that you can change the diamond block under the bed
- It is now possible to specify blocks using the standard BlockState format in the palette (for example: minecraft:quartz_slab[type=bottom]) giving many more options for custom assets

1.16-4.0.8-beta:
- Fixed a problem with creation of multiple worlds where the settings of the first world would persist for future worlds. This also fixes the saving of the selected profile in serverconfig/lostcities-server.toml

1.16-4.0.7-beta:
- Fixed loot and spawner generation so that it happens more consistently now

1.16-4.0.6-alpha:
- The ILostCities API is back

1.16-4.0.5-alpha:
- The 'assets' configuration works again so you can reconfigure how Lost Cities looks
- All configuration files for Lost Cities are now in 'config/lostcities'. That makes it easier to find
- There is a new examples/conditions.json which you can use as a sample to reconfigure loot and spawners

1.16-4.0.4-alpha:
- Temporary 'fix' to avoid what looks like a bug in Vanilla when clearing out large sections of a chunk. This bug manifests itself when clearing up chunks after being damaged by an explosion
- Better city generation with 'floating' landscape type by improving the way the height of a chunk is detected
- New 'cityAvoidVoid' config option: Only used with floating landscape type: if true an additional detection is done to see if the chunk is void and in that case the city isn't generated there. Otherwise you might get city chunks on the border of islands which sometimes looks weird
- The 'dimensionProfiles' config option has been renamed to 'dimensionsWithProfiles' to force a regen
- The bed with skulls (and diamond blocks) works again and will teleport to the 'lostcities:lostcity' dimension if present
- New 'lostcities:lostcity' dimension in the datapack. You can reconfigure this with a datapack by replacing the lostcity dimension type and/or dimension

1.16-4.0.3-alpha:
- Considerably improved Lost City worldgen on world types that use the standard NoiseChunkGenerator

1.16-4.0.2-alpha:

- Fixed a crash in Lost Cities loading existing worlds

2.0.27-alpha:
- Added lc_cavern worldtype for cavern style worlds
- The Lost City configuration screen (LC button) will now select 'cavern' as first option if you are using lc_cavern
- New 'Transport' configuration page so that you can configure railways and highways
- The standard profiles as they are saved in the config/lostcity_profiles are now read-only and will be generated again everytime the game starts. You can make a copy of them under a new name and modify it for your own needs
- Nicer Lost City configuration button

2.0.26-alpha:
- Fixed a problem with cities generating under very high biomes. Sometimes pieces of the original landscape were still present
- Potentially fixed an issue correcting block states in a not-fully-generated chunk
- Fixed the check if a biome is an ocean or not
- Fixed the detection of biomes in general
- Lower the stone border a few blocks so it is always covered by terrain (there were sometimes gaps with ocean chunks adjacent to street chunks)
- Clear land above above-ground railway stations

2.0.25-alpha:
- Fixed generation of bridges. They never really appeared
- Slightly changed the offset of lower mesh terrain gen so it always matches (remove configs for this to work)
- Fixed a problem where customizing a profile could cause crashes

2.0.24-alpha:
- Implemented a much better landscape correcting algorithm so that city chunks fit much better with adjacent high mountains or very low ocean chunks
- Vines are now handled in a much more efficient manner. Should avoid the TPS problems people were getting
- Oceans, rivers, and beaches are now recognized in a way that allows modded biomes to work too
- When a highway is generated it will no longer remove leaf blocks and logs above the highway
- When Lost Cities starts for the first time it will generate a config/lostcity_profiles folder containing standard profiles. As long as that folder exists Lost Cities will not do that again. You can alter/copy/remove profiles in that directory and they will be recognized automatically
- New 'saveprofile' command to save the current profile to a file (which you can then copy to config/lostcity_profiles)

2.0.23-alpha:
- Fixed a problem on servers

2.0.22-alpha:
- First port to 1.14.4!

2.0.20:
- Fixed water level issue when combining biosphere with drowned cities, thanks to @3TUSK
- New parkChance profile option that allows you to control the chance that a non-building section will be a park section. If you set this to 0 you will only get streets
- wormzjl fixed explosion leaving a crater on water surface in submerged city style
- wormzjl reports: currently when combining sphere with submerged cities, all outside ground appears to be a mixture of grass + sand, creating a lot of block update lag. This temporarily fixes this issue by replacing underwater toppings with gravel

2.0.13:
- Joseph added more useful error reporting if a factor or mapping is invalid

2.0.12:
- New profile config option to change the default base liquid to use while generating the world ('liquidBlock')
- New profile config option to change the default base block to use while generating the world ('baseBlock')

- Removed some spam from the console

2.0.9:
- Fixed a crash bug in combination with the Aroma Mining Dimension

2.0.8:
- Added support for multiple Lost City dimensions through the new ADDITIONAL_DIMENSIONS config. These dimensions are not accessible with the usual method. They are mostly intended for pack devs who need multiple city dimensions with various properties (profiles)
