    Gets an object representing the biome at the given position.
    
    Parameters:
    
    position - The position
    
    Returns:
    
    The biome
    
    Throws:
    
    PositionOutOfBoundsException - If the position is outside of the bounds of the volume

    Parameters:
    
    x - The X position
    
    y - The Y position
    
    z - The Z position

                         com.flowpowered.math.vector.Vector3i newMax)
```
    Returns a new volume that is the same or smaller than the current volume. This does not copy the biomes, it only provides a new view of the storage.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newMin - The new minimum coordinates in this volume
    
    newMax - The new maximum coordinates in this volume
    
    Returns:
    
    The new volume with the new bounds
    
    Throws:
    
    PositionOutOfBoundsException - If the new minimum and maximum are outside the current volume
  - getBiomeView
```
BiomeVolume getBiomeView(DiscreteTransform3 transform)
```
    Returns a new volume that is viewed through some transformation. This does not copy the biomes, it only provides a new view of the storage.
    
    Parameters:
    
    transform - The transformation to be applied
    
    Returns:
    
    The new volume with the transform
  - getRelativeBiomeView
```
default BiomeVolume getRelativeBiomeView()
```
    Returns a new volume that is translated so that getBiomeMin() returns Vector3i.ZERO. This does not copy the biomes, it only provides a new view of the storage.
    
    Returns:
    
    The new volume with its minimum at zero
  - getUnmodifiableBiomeView
```
UnmodifiableBiomeVolume getUnmodifiableBiomeView()
```
    Returns a new volume that cannot be modified through this view. Unlike immutable storage, it can be changed by holders of mutable views. This does not copy the biomes, it only provides a new view of the storage.
    
    Returns:
    
    The new volume, which cannot be modified
  - getBiomeCopy
```
default MutableBiomeVolume getBiomeCopy()
```
    Returns a mutable copy of the biomes stored in this volume. This uses the default storage type of StorageType.STANDARD.
    
    Returns:
    
    A copy of the biomes
  - getBiomeCopy
```
MutableBiomeVolume getBiomeCopy(StorageType type)
```
    Returns a mutable copy of the biomes stored in this volume. This uses the provided storage type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - The type of storage used by the new biomes
    
    Returns:
    
    A copy of the biomes
  - getImmutableBiomeCopy
```
ImmutableBiomeVolume getImmutableBiomeCopy()
```
    Returns an immutable copy of the biomes stored in this volume. This uses some internal storage solution that is thread-safe by nature.
    
    Returns:
    
    An immutable copy of the biomes
  - getBiomeWorker
```
BiomeVolumeWorker<? extends BiomeVolume> getBiomeWorker()
```
    Gets a new biome worker for this biome volume.
    
    Returns:
    
    The biome worker
