Lunaria
by MisfitPurple
Lunaria is a Forge world generation mod that adds two new biomes and three wood sets, changing the terrain while keeping vanilla textures and structures.
What it does
Lunaria introduces the Lumen Forest, Ouran Valley, Deep Vera Forest and Asis Desert biomes, bringing the total to two new biomes plus wood sets for each of three tree families. The author states the mod enhances biome experiences while keeping a clean vanilla look, so the new terrain is meant to sit alongside the default world rather than replace its style.
The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The author notes that recipes for the Lumen, Ouran and Vera wood sets are included, so the new wood can be crafted once the biomes are generated. The license is the MIT License, and the project is not open source. The first release was published on 2026-07-02, and the latest Forge file is 0.0.8 for 1.20.1.
Key features
Lumen Forest biome
A new forest biome that generates in the world with its own trees and ground cover, alongside the Lumen wood set.
Ouran Valley biome
A valley biome that adds its own terrain character, with the Ouran wood set appearing among its trees.
Deep Vera Forest and Asis Desert
Two more biomes, a deep forest variant and a desert, each generated by the mod's world generation settings.
Wood sets with recipes
Lumen, Ouran and Vera wood sets each include craftable recipes, so their blocks can be used in building.
