A bare-bones version of the Generate plugin system was used to implement [abrightmoore's](https://twitter.com/abrightmoore)
city generator in the form of an L-system. The L-system API allows showing a preview of
your generated work as wireframe outlines.

You can now view, import, and place map items on walls.
<img src="/images/screenshots/dev3/mapeditor.png" alt="Edit Maps" class="img-thumbnail">
When you import an image, you can choose how many map tiles to use, and whether the image is
stretched to fit the tiles.

Simply drag a map from the Library into the world to place it.

A handful of entities, including villagers and common monsters, are now displayed correctly in MCEdit 2.0.

Command blocks are optionally colored and highlighted according to which command they will run.

Many types of blocks that use block models are now rendered correctly.
Notably, redstone wire, repeaters and comparators are rendered. Fences, glass panes, chests,
doors, levers, and buttons are also shown correctly. Custom models from resource packs are supported, too.

The world can be shown at any time of day! The slider on the left lets you chose any time
between midday and midnight. The slider on the right acts like the "Brightness" control
in-game, making darkness brighter or darker.
