Equatorial
Equatorial adds biomes modeled on tropical equatorial forests, with new trees, plants and animals for the world generator to place.
What it does
The mod generates Equatorial Forests as a set of biome variations. Each variation carries its own mix of flora and fauna, and three new wood types appear in these forests, with palm, ceiba and cotton tree among the plant types named by the author. Because the biomes are new terrain, they are found while exploring rather than crafted.
Several blocks in the mod are models that need the OptiFine mod to display correctly; without it, most of the biome content shows missing textures. The mod is for Forge on Minecraft 1.16.5 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its files are released under the MIT License and are not open source.
