Eastward Journeys
by Dekunutter
Eastward Journeys adds east-asian biomes to the overworld, among them Cherry Blossom Slopes, Maple Woods, Hinoki Woods and a Stone Forest of karst hills.
What it does
The biomes are generated with TerraBlender, and the new creatures and armour use Geckolib, so both must be installed alongside the mod. Snowy mountaintops carry cherry trees and hot springs, bamboo jungles are dotted with cherry blossom trees, and oak forests contain red maple trees whose fallen leaves gather in piles on the ground. A dense jungle biome with stone that juts from the ground, and a desert with small sparse trees and more cacti, add further terrain.
The mod is a full-featured content pack: it includes biomes, structures, trees, decorations, weapons and armour skins. Some features from earlier releases were removed, others were reworked, and some new experimental features are included. The Cherry Blossom Grotto returns from an earlier release line. Eastward Journeys is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public. Files target 1.20 – 1.20.4 on Forge, with the latest build 1.2.4 for 1.20.4 released 2024-03-24.
