Bottled Biomes
Bottled Biomes lets players capture a biome with a Biome Extractor, store it in a Biome Bottle and release it later with a Biome Brush.
What it does
A Biome Extractor samples the biome a player stands in and stores its essence. Using the Biome Extractor on a bottle with essence fills an empty bottle, and the filled bottle shows the color of the biome it holds. The mod is aimed at survival worlds, where a player can carry a desert or jungle to a different base without travelling there.
A Biome Brush applies bottled biome material to specific blocks in small areas, without the splash that a larger application would cause. The brush is a precision tool, and it needs a Golden Feather to craft. The Golden Feather is a rare crafting component, dropped occasionally by chickens. The mod destroys nothing: extracting a biome essence copies it, so the original biome stays in place. Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional dependency that adds recipe lookup for the mod's items.
Bottled Biomes is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2026-05-30. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Biome extraction
The Biome Extractor captures the essence of the biome under the player and copies it to an empty bottle.
Bottled biome storage
A filled Biome Bottle holds a captured biome and takes its color, so bottles can be told apart at a glance.
Precise biome application
The Biome Brush applies a bottled biome to chosen blocks in small areas, avoiding wide changes to the terrain.
Golden Feather crafting
The Biome Brush needs a Golden Feather, a rare component obtained from chickens, which slows down early crafting.
