Skyland
by Neeerd
Skyland, a Neeerd world generation mod for Forge and NeoForge, adds a sky dimension modeled on the vanilla style, with four new biomes and two structures.
What it does
The mod adds a new dimension to Minecraft, reached through ender eyes, with four biomes and two structures. Progression runs through more than 200 new building blocks, and the sky dimension gives players a way to reach areas the overworld does not offer. Spirit Sand is a new stone type found in a valley biome, and the mod's own mobs and drops support the exploration.
Skyland is intended for survival play where the vanilla progression feels short, and for servers that want an extra stage of progression after the End. Items such as freeze charges and freeze rods, crafted into a progression chain, are needed to advance. Cows in the sky drop a steak that grants a speed effect when eaten, and haste potions can be crafted.
Installation runs on Forge or NeoForge for 1.20.6, and the mod is published for 1.20 – 1.20.6 with seven release versions. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source, and the mod draws inspiration from the Aether Mod.
