Latitude

by Peetsa

Latitude reshapes world generation into five climate bands that run from a warm equator to frozen northern and southern edges, so travel north or south changes the landscape gradually.

What it does

Biomes follow realistic latitude bands. Equatorial jungles give way to temperate forests, and forests thin as the player climbs. Higher up, sparse grass and foliage thin out until only bare stone and snow remain on the highest ground. Near the poles, cold becomes a hazard, and the bands blend into one another without abrupt jumps between hot and cold regions.

The mod makes a Minecraft world finite. Fog thickens at the world's edges and gradually obscures the vanilla world border. Cinematic titles announce each crossing between climate bands and hemispheres. Players can choose one of six world sizes when creating a world, and the chosen size rescales the climate system, including band widths and borders. Players can also pick a spawn zone, starting near the equator for warm weather or heading straight for the poles.

Latitude is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Either side can run it without the other, so it is optional on a client or a server. It requires Fabric API on Fabric. Worlds generated before installation are unaffected, and the overhaul applies only to newly created worlds.

Key features

  1. Five climate bands

    Bands extend from the equator toward both poles, and biomes change as the player travels north or south.

  2. Fog at the world edges

    Thickening fog gradually obscures the vanilla world border, so the finite edges of the world are visible in the atmosphere.

  3. Climate titles

    Cinematic titles announce crossings between climate bands and hemispheres as the player moves through the world.

  4. Compass and latitude readout

    A digital 8-way compass with degrees, or an analog one with different color themes, is paired with a live latitude readout and biome zone detail.

  5. Customizable HUD overlay

    The compass and readout can be sized, recolored, set to a chosen opacity and placed on screen.

  6. Six world sizes

    Players choose among six sizes when creating a world, and the size scales the climate bands and borders.

What the author says

A finite world with latitude-based geography and climate bands. Latitude organizes biomes into five climate bands, from a warm equator at the center of the world to frozen regions at its northern and southern edges. As you travel north or south, the climate—and the biomes you encounter—gradually change.
