Nine new tools & Map Art overhaul

Mining Time Calculator, Spawner and Painting Generator, Texture, Mob, HUD & Inventory Editor, 3D Print, Stack Calculator, Biome Map, Biome Wiki
The Mining Time Calculator shows how long every block takes with every tool, the Spawner Generator builds monster spawners to order and the Texture and Mob Editors restyle items, blocks and mobs, the HUD and Inventory Editors hearts, the hotbar, chests and furnaces, the Painting Generator turns any picture into a painting, the Display Generator builds block and item displays, the 3D Print page turns them into printable models, the Stack Calculator counts stacks, shulkers and chests and the Biome Map shows every seed exactly the way Minecraft generates it – down to single ore veins – and the Biome Wiki explains every biome, structure and ore – all with data straight from the game.
Resource Pack Updater & Locator Bar Color
The Resource Pack Updater converts any resource pack from 1.8.9 to 26.3 for another version – with new file names, big pictures split up or put together and the right pack.mcmeta. Behind it stands a version table from the game files of 30 Minecraft versions that every pack tool uses. The Locator Bar Color shows which colour a player has on the locator bar – worked out exactly like in the game.
Six new tools: circles & spheres, game rules, server MOTD, chests, armor stands & statues
The Circle & Sphere Generator builds circles, spheres and domes block by block, the Gamerule Generator switches all 63 game rules from 1.8 to 26.3, Server MOTD & Icon designs the server description like in the server list, the Chest Generator fills chests in the real game screen, the Armor Stand Generator poses armor stands in 3D and the Statue Generator puts players with their real skin into the world as statues. Plus riders, armour and collars in the mob database, saddles and armour in the mob editor, single block textures in the texture editor and a new homepage with a moving picture for every tool.
What Version 1.2.0 Stands For
Version 1.2.0 builds on the consolidated 1.0 baseline: new tools, our own API, a new, consistent interface for every page and data straight from Minecraft 26.3.
