Daily Expansion

by yuchenjie

Daily Expansion changes how a world generates, adding more than 20 distinct chunk types that appear as the in-world day advances.

FabricForgeServer-side onlyApache License 2.01.21 – 1.21.11

What it does

Each new day in the world brings a different selection of chunks, drawn from the 20-plus types the mod defines. Because it is server-side only, a server can run it while players join with vanilla clients and need nothing installed. Builds are published for Fabric and Forge, and the mod is also offered for Paper and Spigot server platforms, across 12 release versions 1.21 – 1.21.11, under the Apache License 2.0, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Daily chunk variety

    The world gains a new set of chunk types as each in-game day passes, so terrain keeps changing over time.

  2. More than 20 chunk types

    The mod defines over twenty different chunk kinds that can appear in the generated world.

  3. Fabric and Forge builds

    Separate files target each loader, with the Fabric build described by its author as more optimized.
