About Improved/More Biomes

From Modrinth

This datapack improves and adds 20+ new biomes such as the enchanted forest or the canyons! Custom lighting color support from 26.1

More Biomes

This datapack changes world generation by adding new biomes & having regular biomes updated with custom skies, custom trees, different ground, more variation!

Preview

Fantasy & real life inspired

This datapack adds some fantasy like biomes such as the Enchanted Forest, but also different subbiomes for forests & taiga, generating close to each others to recreate the real life randomness of trees placements & ground, and making forests feel less repeatitive.

For example, the 'Mountain Plains' biome generate near or inside taigas, but has more space between trees & offers a slightly different ground than the taiga biome. More subbiomes are planned to be added
