KT's Jungle Worldgen
by kingtrapinch
KT's Jungle Worldgen reorganizes the biomes of existing worlds, turning warm, swampy regions into tropical jungle scenery for NeoForge 1.21.1 servers.
What it does
Installed on a server, the mod changes how biomes are placed during world generation. It creates a lush tropical world by swapping several vanilla Twilight Forest biomes for jungle-style ones, and it inserts Twilight Forest biomes such as tall canopy trees and areas with hissing cicadas. Most of the changes fall in warm, swampy and tropical regions, so plains, swamp and forest areas near jungles pick up jungle features too.
Feature Recycler is required and has to be installed alongside the mod. The mod is server-side only: the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and an issue tracker published. Files exist for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, the latest being version 1.0, published on 2026-06-14.
Key features
Tropical biome swaps
Dark Forest, Old Growth Spruce Forest and Pine are removed or replaced with jungle variants during generation.
Tall canopy trees
Biomes inserted from Twilight Forest bring towering canopy trees and sparse jungle areas into the world.
Nether and Twilight changes
Basalt Deltas can spawn Nether Fortresses underground, and Twilight Glacier is surrounded by a thin band of Frozen Ocean.
Themed modpack support
The changes suit modpacks built around dinosaur, parasite or stranded survival scenarios.

Use cases
Modpack jungle worlds
Modpack authors can use the biome swaps to build jungle-themed survival scenarios on a shared server.
Survival in dense growth
Worlds generated with the mod are dense with tropical trees, which suits survival runs set in warm regions.
Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack builders who want a warm, jungle-heavy world. Players on a server running the mod need no client installation.
How it compares
Tropical World is a server-side only mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 that is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. TwilightLuckyBlock is also NeoForge 1.21.1, but it needs the client and server together and is open source under the MIT License. Extreme Worldgen covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5, so it is not a drop-in for this version.

What the author says
It works by re-organizing the biomes in worldgen to feature mostly warm, swampy, and tropical biomes. It also inserts biomes from the Twilight Forest mod to add tall canopy trees, hissing cicadas, and towering structures. Note: Dark Forest and Old Growth Spruce Forest swap places in worldgen (O.G. Pine removed)
