Lakeside
by Juuz
Lakeside, a Fabric world generation mod for 1.17 and 1.17.1, replaces the small vanilla ponds with larger lake biomes of several kinds.
What it does
Vanilla lakes in the Overworld are small and plain. Lakeside changes this by generating bigger lakes that fit into more biomes, so a map has water features with more shape and variety. Four lake variations are included: warm lakes that appear in most biomes, cold lakes, mountain lakes and jungle lakes.
The generated lakes can hold larger islands inside them, which adds terrain variation to worlds that would otherwise have flat water. The mod is open source under the MIT License and has public links to its source code and issue tracker. Installation requires Fabric, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod.
Files cover 1.17 and 1.17.1, with 1.1.0 for 1.17.1 as the latest Fabric file, published 2021-06-12. Lakeside is a 2021 release and was last updated on the same day it was first published.
Key features
Warm lakes
Warm lakes generate in most biomes, so the change is visible across much of the Overworld.
Cold and mountain lakes
Cold lakes and mountain lakes give water features that suit snowy and high terrain.
Jungle lakes
Jungle lakes are a separate variation for the jungle biome, alongside the other three types.
Lakes with islands
Larger lakes can contain islands inside them, which breaks up plain water surfaces.
