Add explicit Mystcraft integration

@Veovis-Muaddib
Right now Mystcraft is able to use our biomes because of the timing surrounding how the biomes are initialized when the mod is loaded. We currently do not use the Mystcraft API because the two mods "just work" and because XCW still has not completed the "Add Biomes Symbols" functionality. But...a feature is coming that will necessitate a change in the biome initialization timing, which will break the interaction with Mystcraft without this API feature. Do you know any status on this particular piece of the API?

I do not know the status of that part, (The things I've played with in the API thus far haven't had anything to do with symbols.) but I'll post a link to this issue in the dev/testing irc channel for when XCompWiz is on.

That changes things a bit, I didn't figure you needed to move initialization. Hopefully a full release of Mystcraft to update the API isn't needed to make these work together, a whole new system is being added that needs extensive testing and balance.

What is the feature in question, out of curiosity?

EDIT: Sorry, I was working on figuring out execution flow of my two in-progress mods while you were on irc. Didn't even look at the window. :\

No problem.

I won't implement until we have a solution for Mystcraft integration.

The feature in question is player specification of biomes through text files. I want to make it so that players can very easily add their own biomes to the game.

That's very appreciated.

That sounds totally worth the moving things around for. :)

Come on into #mystcraft if you need any help with this, API is being worked on quite heavily right now, as there are two released (Highly Alpha) addons being worked on, as well as more features being added to Mystcraft and the API that you may want to interact with.

EDIT: Also free testing of both function and balance from yours truly. :)
