Ecotones

Ecotones is a biome overhaul that tries to capture the essence of real-world flora, filling each region with trees, shrubs and rocks whose shapes differ from one area to the next. The mod adds more than 70 distinct biomes, over 200 counting their variants, so the same biome can look different from one corner to the other. Its world generation is meant to feel natural rather than repetitive.

Using the mod requires choosing the Ecotones world type when creating a new world, or setting level-type to ecotones in a server's configuration. Ecotones includes explicit compatibility with other mods: blocks from Aurora's Decorations, Yttr and Traverse Terrestria can appear in its world generation. Recipes can be viewed with EMI. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.

The mod runs on Fabric and Quilt for Minecraft 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with three release versions covering 1.19.2, 1.20 and 1.20.1. The latest Fabric file is 0.9.3 for 1.20.1, and the latest Quilt file is 0.9.1 for 1.19.2. Both sides need it, so the server and every player must install it.
