Overworld Overhaul
by FieryZane
Overworld Overhaul adds new biomes, blocks, flowers and three mobs to the overworld while keeping vanilla terrain generation and progression intact.
What it does
The additions cover several new biome types: a Desert Cave with sand, sandstone and moss, a Redwood Forest with trees taller than 15 blocks, a Wasteland of mud, dirt, terracotta and dead trees, and Icy Caves that carry frozen blocks and spikes. A rare Golden Dandelion Field and a Golden Oak wood set are also included.
Building blocks are added in sandstone, calcite and amethyst variants, each with brick, stair, slab, wall and chiseled pillar forms. Structures include small Digsite squares of suspicious sand and Ancient Ruins rings of pillars with loot chests. A set of new flowers, among them Blueleaf, Fiery Flower and Lavender, is included.
Client and server: the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for the 26.1.2 release, and the latest update added three new mobs. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Themed biomes
Desert Cave, Redwood Forest, Wasteland and Icy Caves biomes add terrain types that vanilla generation does not produce.
Brick block sets
Sandstone, calcite and amethyst brick sets each include stairs, slabs, walls and chiseled pillars.
Digsites and ruins
Digsite sand patches with suspicious sand and Ancient Ruins rings of pillars with chests give players places to search.
New flowers and plants
Several new flowers, including Blueleaf, Lavender and Mint, join the plant list, with dry grass and bushes in the new biomes.
Three new mobs
An update adds three mobs to the new biomes, with the mod kept close to vanilla feel.
