Solved Biome Changing Noobishness

I'm trying to make it so when a player interacts with a block, it will switch that column of blocks to a biome they specified.

I am using a PlayerInteractEvent and have made sure that the event is executing on cue.
I have also made sure the biome variable being used is correct.

I am using the following code to set the biome:

Code:java

Block block = event.getClickedBlock();
            block.getWorld().setBiome(block.getLocation().getBlockX(), block.getLocation().getBlockZ(), biome);

Where Biome biome is a pre-specified, not null, variable.
However, when this code is executed, it doesn't actually change the in-game biome (F3 menu)

Any insight on this?

 

im pretty sure World#setBiome is made to be used inside of ChunkGenerators

So how would I change the biome after chunk generation?
Sorry, not very familiar with this

Bump.

As far as I know, you can't without completely regenerating the chunk.

 

you must rejoin to see changes....

 

block.getWorld().refreshChunk(int x, int z) I belive?

 

You ever been on ravand(Not gonna give the IP because I don't want to get in trouble, but search you should find it)? They have a plugin that changes the biome of a single column and does not require a refresh(Or at least doesn't seem to).

 

The refresh method used directly after the biome set method as such:

Code:java

Block block = event.getClickedBlock();
block.getWorld().setBiome(block.getLocation().getBlockX(), block.getLocation().getBlockZ(), biome);
block.getWorld().refreshChunk(block.getChunk().getX(), block.getChunk().getZ());

Works PERFECTLY. Thank you very much tryy3 !
