Hosting mapgen
Features:
- Client will remember new versions of map generator, that will used in map generation for lobbies, like 1.8.5, 1.8.6, 1.8.7... etc.
- Dynamic loading of some map generator settings like: Map style, Map biomes
- Finally an ability to generate multiple mapgens and select only one to host!
From a practical/end-user perspective is there a summary of the main differences/benefits of this over the standard client?
