+# biomed
+
+A Minecraft Biome Editor.
+
+## Usage
+
+Open your World. If biomed is able to find your savegame directory, you can use `File > Open World`, otherwise you can use `File > Open` and manually select the `region` directory of your map.
+
+You can toggle between the biome view and a map view by clicking `Show Biomes` in the sidebar.
+
+Select the tool and biome you want to use in the sidebar (Fill or Draw) and click on the map area to use the tool.
+
+Use the middle mouse button to move around in your map.
+
+If you want biomed to fix snow and ice (melt away for warm biomes, add for cold ones), click `Fix Snow/Ice` in the sidebar.
+
+If you are done, click `File > Save`.
+
+## WARNING

+## Compiling
