EpicGons
by Salamoonder
EpicGons is a world generation datapack for 1.20.1 that adds an amplified version of the HexLands terrain, built as a larger-scale variant of typical HexLands worlds.
What it does
The mod runs as a datapack and requires HexLands. It uses the same hexagonal layout and biomes as HexLands, but at a much larger scale: hexagons reach about 200 blocks across, and their borders are made of stone brick roughly 11 to 12 blocks wide. The borders start at a minimum height of 90 and rise toward the world height limit of 320.
An amplified world preset is included, so a new world can be created with this terrain directly. In the nether, hexagons are about 100 blocks across, with open spaces of about 30 to 40 blocks in the middle of each one. The author notes that the smaller hexagon sizes found in standard HexLands were not what this version was made for.
Installing the pack means placing it in the world's datapacks folder. Only the server needs the mod: players join without installing it. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, all for 1.20.1, with 1.0.0+mod as the latest build of each loader, published on 2025-06-14. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
