Noise, Climate & Biome Surface Rules

[Rebel459]

I'm relatively new to surface rules but after spending over a dozen hours working them out, refactoring etc I'm quite happy with how these turned out.

I made these in mojmap but for this PR i've fully converted them to yarn. Codecs have been created for each so they're all fully data-driven too.

A class of helper methods to better access them in mod code was created, too. Open to any feedback, improvements etc.

Features:

BiomeRules

• biome tag check
• heightmap biome check
• heightmap biome tag check
• surface biome check
• surface biome tag check

ClimateRules

• temperature check
• temperature offset check
• downfall check

NoiseRules

• temperature check
• humidity check
• erosion check
• continentalness check
• weirdness check
• depth check
• heightmap depth check

MiscRules

• boolean check (useful for linking to mod configs)

BiolithSurfaceRules

• helper class to easily access all the above in code (with basic documentation within)
• includes some extra features like collectedRule to easily list multiple conditions for a single rule

BiomeParameters

• useful for both biome placement and noise surface rule creation
• includes human-readable floats for all biome placement noise parameters

You can see examples of all this in use from the project this work was derived from, which is a biome mod I'm currently working on: https://github.com/Rebel459/bloom

I should also add that, where possible, more expensive checks are calculated and preserved per-column, which drastically improves worldgen performance compared to without, ensuring that performance is still decent without c2me even when using lots of noise / climate checks that are applied to all biomes

Finished up porting over the climate command
/biolith climate accepts the same stuff as /biolith describe (and is supported by /biolith help)
It fetches climate information (temperature + downfall) to make testing climate stuff in-world easier for developers

BTW I see this and I'm interested in it; I've just got a lot on the modding plate right now because of all the changes for 26.1. I will circle back around to this PR at some point.

[Rebel459]

All good! If you’d like, I can also make a separate PR for 26.1 / MojMap as the latter is what I originally made this in.

[gniftygnome]

Yes that would save me some work, although I haven't done a technical review of this PR yet, so I don't know if I'll ask for changes.

[Rebel459]

In that case I’ll wait and help out with mojmap afterwards
