Random Biomes
by Evil
Random Biomes changes the biome layout of a Minecraft 1.20.1 world by adding a mix of new biomes, some with achievements and others built around a single look or theme.
What it does
The mod is a datapack for 1.20.1 that adds a large set of new biomes to world generation. Its main goal is variety: the added biomes replace the expected look of a world with a broader and less predictable terrain. Some biomes are meant to hand out achievements, while others focus on a single setting and aesthetic. Players may come across a few odd surprises while exploring, which is part of the mod.
The datapack is distributed for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it also works as a data pack on server platforms. The server must run it so new biomes generate, and players can join without installing anything. The license is AFL-3.0, and the project is not open source. The author notes that updates are infrequent, and the first release is dated 2024-12-06.
