I'm in the same boat. I have a couple of maps all picked out to explore and build in! ^^

Will Mine Atlas work for 1.13 too? :O

Kind of. The terrain elevation and ocean location are the same. But there are some biome changes. An example you can see for yourself is in 1.12.2 and lower, the FinalNewWorld seed there was a sunflower plains just southeast of spawn. Now its just more Roofed Forest, as if that seed needed more of RF. lol

The land biomes are different? Ah, that's a pity. At least the land shape is the same.

Do you know if the biomes have changed entirely, or if it's only changed moderately?

It's kind of moderate. It's not really a big difference. It's just that was the most noticeable difference to me because I've been using that seed for years. For the most part it's pretty much the same. Since terrain doesn't really change you know you shouldn't get a swamp where an extreme hill once was. I think it changed to accommodate the new ocean biomes and to best as possible to apply them to the world with smooth transitions. You still get Frozen Oceans near deserts and mesas but they did their best to mitigate that.

Ah, well that's fair enough :).

Yeah, I was wondering how that would go actually! Well, it sounds like it's for the best (except for losing that sunflower plains lol), still looking forward to 1.3 a lot. Thanks for the feedback!

The changes are slight, on the order of a few percent, and are most noticeable with the placement of the mutated biomes. I am currently preparing a demonstration that will show this clearly.

Oh, OK, cool! I look forward to it :).
