What it does

The compat mod connects two existing mods. Backported Wolves supplies the wolf variants, and Regions Unexplored supplies the biomes. Once both are installed, several variants can appear in the biomes they match during world generation, with no manual placement needed.

Both required dependencies, Backported Wolves and Regions Unexplored, must be present for the mod to load. The server needs the mod for the spawns to take effect, while players may add it to their clients. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest file, 2.0+mod, targets 1.20.4. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

The mod was first published on 2025-02-13 and last updated on 2025-02-18. It is listed under World generation, with Mobs and Utility as secondary categories, and a data pack version is available for server platforms.

Key features

  1. Variant wolf spawns

    Backported Wolves variants spawn in the Regions Unexplored biomes they match, with no manual placement.

  2. Matched biome pairing

    Each wolf variant is paired with a biome, such as one variant in a boreal taiga and another in a blackwood taiga.

  3. Covered variants

    Ashen Wolf, Alpha Grove, Black Wolf and the other listed variants are included in the pairing.
