1st 2023.2 snapshot - Minecraft 1.19.4 support

MCreator 2023.2, fully supporting Minecraft 1.19.4 is here. And this is also one of those rare snapshots supporting three Minecraft versions in one release. More in the article.

3 Minecraft versions?

Let's cover the confusion here first. Yes, MCreator 2023.2 supports Minecraft 1.18.2, Minecraft 1.19.2, and Minecraft 1.19.4. The full release will only support 1.19.2 and 1.19.4 however. This is because while porting we added minimal changes so we can also still support 1.18.2. Going forward, it is the same as usually, we only cover two versions due to the high cost of maintenance of more than two generators. We are however certain there will be community-made plugins extending 1.18.2 support if there will be demand :)

Snapshot release notes

• Vanilla creative tabs differ slightly between generator versions but target Minecraft 1.19.4 with namings
• Removed biome custom features (grass, flowers, cacti, reeds, ... per chunk). Existing configurations will be converted to default biome features when possible. For more granular control over biome features, a feature mod element should be used.
