Distant Lands
by beastguyv
With Distant Lands installed, world generation gains biomes built around Brazilian flora and more than 500 vanilla-style blocks and items.
What it does
Distant Lands adds biomes inspired by Brazilian plant life to new worlds, along with over 500 blocks and items styled to match the vanilla game. The additions are meant to keep the familiar look and mechanics of the base game while changing where and how players explore.
The mod includes a Carpenter's Table, an advanced crafting block that works like a Stonecutter and gives access to wood-related recipes. Hollow Logs are a new block type that players can crawl through, and they can be combined into secret passages, hidden rooms and other structures. A crawl mechanic lets players lie down voluntarily by sneaking, and it works together with the Hollow Logs.
Distant Lands needs Geckolib, Oh The Trees You'll Grow and TerraBlender to run. The mod is published for NeoForge only, with files for 1.21.1 released from 2025-09-23 to 2026-07-07. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
