Arky's Environment

by ArkyFursblack

Arky's Environment is a Forge world generation mod that adds plants, decorations, biomes and new mobs to Minecraft 1.16.5.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.16.5

What it does

Several new mobs spawn in existing biomes. Thorny Devil appears in Badlands, and Glutton spawns in Swamps and Flower Forest. Glutton eats most animal types, can jump two blocks high, and consumes slimes and fish other than pufferfish. Ant Lion spawns an Ant Lion Nest structure in deserts, and a Frozen Fortress generates in Cold Swamp.

The mod's approach is to add many biomes rather than reshape existing ones, aiming to build on the vanilla world instead of replacing it. Players who explore new regions will find plants and decorations that extend the generated terrain. Client and server both need the mod, so the server and every player must install it. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved. Only the 1.16.5 Forge build exists, published 2023-04-17.

What the author says

Arky's Environment adds new plants, decorations and other things in the world of Minecraft. Unlike many mods, it will not add many of their biomes, rather the opposite will try to improve the old. This mod was cancelled and remade as a new mod called Arky's Aesthetics
