Earthy Horizons
by Klosiak
Earthy Horizons brings ten new biomes to NeoForge worlds, from redwood forests and tropical coasts to deep swamps and caves with mycelium.
What it does
Earthy Horizons generates new biomes during world creation, each with its own animals, plants and decorative features. The redwood forest is home to Roosevelt elk, the desert carries prickly pears, yucca and ashen trees, and the tropical beach has crabs and coconut palms. Deep swamps hold swamp roses, button bushes, tall reeds and hippos, while bison roam a separate grassland biome.
The tropical ocean adds coral reefs with friendly dugongs, and some warmer regions hold elephants, giraffes and dangerous crocodiles. Deep caves are lit by bioluminescent mushrooms and grow mycelium across their floors. The mod is meant for new worlds and modpacks that want more landscape variety, and the author lists a leather backpack among its items.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, with the latest file 1.1.0 for 26.1.2. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
