Wild Lands
Wild Lands brings new biomes, plants, animals and trees into the world, styled to match vanilla Minecraft, for players who explore newly generated terrain.
What it does
The mod adds 2 new biomes, 11 new entities and 3 new trees to existing biome ranges, with a Bayou among the added biomes. Its stated aim is to expand the vanilla world without changing how the vanilla content feels, so the new plants and animals follow the look and behavior of what is already there.
Biome placement depends on TerraBlender, which must be installed alongside Wild Lands on Forge for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1. Wild Lands is published for Forge and NeoForge, and its 1.0.8 build covers 1.20.1, released under All rights reserved. The code is not open source, though public links exist for the source and the issue tracker.
The license also sets limits on use. Players may take screenshots, record videos and add the mod to a modpack with proper credit and a link back. Recompiling or reuploading the mod elsewhere, and taking its assets for other projects, are not permitted.
Key features
Vanilla-styled biomes
New biomes are built to blend with the existing world generation rather than stand out from it.
New wildlife
Eleven added entities give existing biomes extra animals and mobs with their own behaviors.
Added trees and plants
Three new tree types and additional plants appear in the biomes the mod touches.
Bayou biome
One of the two new biomes is a Bayou, adding swamp-style terrain to the generated world.

How it compares
Environmental is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.16.5 – 1.21.1 under a custom license, and it is not open source. Block Factory's Biomes is also Forge and NeoForge, covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is All rights reserved. Wild Lands targets 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, so the version range differs from both.
