Geophilic Backport

by Aarods21

With Geophilic Backport installed, the Pale Garden biome gains backported tree stumps, fallen trees, bushes, cobwebs and more Eyeblossoms.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

The mod applies a subtle overhaul to the Pale Garden biome added by VanillaBackports. Stumps and fallen logs from later versions are brought into the biome, ground-level bushes spread through it, and webbing draped over its trees changes how the woods look. Eyeblossoms turn up a little more often, and new desert features such as boulders and vegetation are added as well. The changes draw on the details of the Geophilic mod.

It is required on the server and optional for players. It needs Platform and Vanilla Backport as required dependencies. Geophilic is an optional dependency, and installing it brings in the features that the Geophilic Backport changes build on. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest builds at 1.3.3 for 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and 1.3.2 for 1.21.1 on Quilt. The mod is also available as a data pack for server platforms, so server owners can use it without loading it as a mod. Developers note that more features from newer versions may be brought to 1.20.1 later.
