Winter Wonderland

by lynxs

Winter Wonderland changes how cold biomes are placed and shaped, so snowy regions appear more often in worlds that use it, and the mod is for server owners and world builders.

What it does

Only the colder biomes are changed. The author states that the pack alters temperature placement so that only cold biomes are placed in the affected areas, and that it works with biome datapacks and mods that edit Terralith's cold biomes. Some other mods do not work well alongside it, and the author plans to add or change existing biomes in later updates. Screenshots were taken with the Photon shader and Terralith installed. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for game versions 1.20 – 1.21, and the server needs the mod while players may leave it out.

Key features

  1. Cold biome placement

    Temperature placement is adjusted so that only the colder biomes generate in the areas the pack covers.

  2. Terralith compatibility

    Cold biomes are changed to work with Terralith and other biome datapacks or mods that edit them.

  3. Planned biome changes

    The author plans to add or change some existing biomes in future updates.

What the author says

I made this to change Terralith to have only cold biomes, but I realised it works with any biome datapacks/mods! (Some mods don't works as well). It essentially changes the temperature and placement of biomes so only cold ones are placed! I also plan to also add/change some existing biomes.
