Windy Hills Biome
by Enigma_124
Windy Hills Biome, a Fabric world generation mod by Enigma_124, adds a windy highland biome with eroded arches, inselbergs and mushroom rocks, and pushes players around while they walk.
What it does
Exploring the new biome means crossing terrain shaped by erosion. Eroded arches, inselbergs and mushroom rocks stand across the highlands as generated structures, so a traveler moving through the region passes these formations as the biome is explored. The biome is added through the TerraBlender dependency, which must be installed alongside the mod for generation to work.
Wind is the mod's main behavior. Gusts change over time, and while a player stands in the biome they are carried a short distance by the moving air, which affects walking and movement. Iron ore generates more often at the surface of the Windy Highlands, so mining in this biome yields more of that ore near the top of the terrain. Windy Hills Biome runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and 26.2 only, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, and the source code is public.
