Environmental
Players who explore the Overworld find new foliage, biomes and wildlife added by Environmental, a surface expansion mod for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The mod adds several new biome types to the Overworld, along with extra plants and surface detail that give existing biomes a more finished look. A set of new animals and mobs also spawns in those areas. Blueprint is required, so it must be installed next to Environmental. Files exist for 1.16.5 – 1.21.1 on Forge and NeoForge, and the mod runs on client and server under a custom license that is not open source.
