Wilder Wild

by FrozenBlock

Wilder Wild adds new biomes, trees, mobs and blocks to world generation, and it has to be installed on both the server and every player's client.

FabricNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverCustom license1.19 – 26.3

What it does

The mod adds biomes such as Cypress Wetlands, Mixed Forest, Mesoglea Caves, Oasis, Warm River, Warm Beach, Arid Forest and Arid Savanna. Cypress Wetlands are flooded landscapes where Cypress trees grow densely, and Baobab trees come with their own wood set. Birch forests, forests and swamps receive reworked generation, while the Savanna gains three new features and Termite Mounds appear there rarely.

New mobs include neutral Crabs that spawn in several ocean, beach and swamp biomes, and small bugs that can be caught in Glass Bottles and released later. A new venomous gelatinous mob also appears. Pollen, a four-color Glory of the Snow block, a semi-permeable block and a heavy-lidded chest found in ruins add further blocks and items.

Wilder Wild requires Fabric API and FrozenLib. Optional integrations include Biolith, Cloth Config API, Mod Menu, Simple Copper Pipes, Glowtone: Shaderless Shaders, The Copperier Age: Copperier Copper and Trailier Tales. Three other catalog mods require it: Serene Wild, Wilder Delights and Wilder Enderscapes. The mod is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, covering game versions 1.19 – 26.3 across 29 release versions, with snapshot builds also published. It is released under a custom license and is not open source.

  2. Biome additions

  3. New mobs

    Neutral Crabs spawn in several ocean and beach biomes, and small bugs drift through the air and can be bottled.

  4. Mesoglea Caves

  5. Trees and wood sets
