Vanilla Backport x Regions Unexplored

by Fyoncle

Vanilla Backport x Regions Unexplored places Vanilla Backport's variant mobs and blocks into biomes added by Regions Unexplored, so the two sets of content spawn together in one world.

What it does

Vanilla Backport x Regions Unexplored is a compatibility mod that connects two existing mods. Once it is installed alongside them, the Ashen Wolf, Black Wolf and other Vanilla Backport variants can spawn naturally in the biomes they fit. Animals are included because the biome tags already defined by the other mod control where they appear, so the spawns are set through those tags rather than hand-placed.

The mod adds spawns to several biomes that the other mod introduces, including the Alpha Grove, the Cold Boreal and Frozen Pine taigas, the Deciduous Forest and the Blackwood Taiga. Both required mods must be present, and the server must run this mod while players may add it to the client without needing it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, all targeting 1.20.1, with version 3.0+mod for 1.20.1 as the latest file released on 2025-12-12. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Ashen Wolf spawns

    Ashen Wolves appear in the Regions Unexplored biomes that suit them, drawn from Vanilla Backport's variant set.

  2. Black Wolf spawns

    Black Wolves also spawn in matching biomes, adding a dark variant to the wolf population.

  3. Taiga biome spawns

    Vanilla Backport variants populate the Cold Boreal, Frozen Pine and Blackwood taiga biomes.

  4. Tag-based animal placement

    Animal spawns follow the biome tags that the other mod already defines, so no separate spawn setup is needed.

What the author says

This datapack allows Vanilla Backport variants to spawn naturally in Regions Unexplored biomes. Animals are not included due to the fact Regions Unexplored already contains tags that makes them spawn in their dedicated biomes!
