Cherry Blossom Grotto
by Dekunutter
Cherry Blossom Grotto adds new biomes built around cherry blossom trees, along with custom structures, a village type and new entities for Forge.
What it does
Several new biomes generate alongside the vanilla ones. Cherry Blossom Grotto is a forested biome with cherry blossom trees and a low spawn rate of iron ore. Cherry Blossom Slopes is a snowy mountain biome with spaced-out cherry blossom trees and hot springs. Cherry Blossom Bamboo Jungle is a dense jungle with cherry blossom trees mixed among bamboo. Maple Woods holds red maple trees, and Oak Maple Forest mixes fancy oaks with maples. Beehives spawn at a high rate in the new trees.
The mod also adds a custom village type and new structures that spawn naturally in vanilla biomes, including a giant Buddha statue and a torii gate, plus a ruined portal variant styled after a ruined torii gate. New entities populate the new biomes. The mod requires TerraBlender for biome generation on Minecraft 1.18.2 and above, and Geckolib for animations on the versions that add the new entities. Both the server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Cherry blossom biomes
Four new biomes centered on cherry blossom trees, each with its own terrain and tree mix.
Custom structures
Buddha statues and torii gates generate naturally in many biomes, and a ruined portal variant matches the torii gate design.
Village type
A custom village type adds new structures that spawn within the new and existing vanilla biomes.
Biome toggle
The maple biomes can be turned off with a config setting, which is useful when the beta biomes are unwanted.
