Biomes Of The Ancients

The mod aims to overhaul the game with new biomes, bosses, mobs, dimensions, tools and weapons. Its overworld holds roughly 130 biomes, with a further 40 to 50 extradimensional biomes at the time of writing. Many biomes are inspired by those removed from Biomes O Plenty in older versions, and names such as Brilliant, Elder Forest, Dreamscapes, Festering Fields and Mistral appear among them. The author describes the mod as a short project that aims to add a large amount of content, and lists the most important additions rather than every item.

Overworld and dimension structures can also appear in the Overworld Mirror mod, which generates BOTA's structures in a mirror dimension. The author notes that most biomes have trees that seem to float, and that the mod has few known incompatibilities. Biomes Of The Ancients is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author plans further biomes, a 1.20.1 port and a larger update named Skyra. The listed Forge file is 1.2.9 for 1.16.5, published 2026-04-14 on the beta channel.
