Naturalist Biomes Java

by Starfish_Studios

Naturalist Biomes adds six new overworld biomes, with their own wood types and blocks, to Minecraft's world generation for 1.21.1.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.1

What it does

Six biomes join normal Overworld generation: Redwood groves, Maple Forest, Frozen Pine, Wishing Wells Igloos, flower fields and arid grasslands. Each brings its own plants, soils, snow and stone decoration. The mod adds six wood types with complete block sets, and log branches connect logs to each other, so trees built from the new wood look natural.

The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric and Lithostitched on both loaders, so both must be installed. Naturalist Biomes runs on client and server, which means the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.1 only, under All rights reserved. Chunks that were generated before the mod was installed will not change, so the new biomes appear only in areas a player has not yet loaded.

Key features

  1. Six new biomes

    Six biomes, including forests of redwood and maple, wetlands and arid grasslands, generate in the Overworld.

  2. Six wood types

    Each new wood type comes with a complete block set, including planks, stairs, slabs and fences.

  3. Log branches

    Branches connect logs to each other, so the new trees have a natural shape.

  4. Around 180 blocks

    Plants, soils, snow, stone and decoration blocks extend the biomes beyond their trees.

  5. Wishing Wells and igloos

    Wishing wells and igloos are placed within the new biomes as points of interest.

Questions

Do existing worlds get the new biomes?

Only in chunks that have not been generated yet. Chunks already generated keep their terrain, so a new world shows the biomes most clearly.

Which loaders does the mod support?

Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1. Fabric requires Fabric API, and both loaders require Lithostitched.
