About RealisticBiomes

From Modrinth

Dynamically transform the biomes of your world depending on the surrounding environment!

RealisticBiomes

This plugin allows you to define what it takes for every biome to be what it should. Using RealisticBiomes, you can set what blocks are required to transform a desert to a jungle, plains, or anything you desire! The plugin is fully configurable, lightweight (or at least tries to be), and adds a great layer of depth to your server!

Default Configuration

The configuration is fairly straight forward and mostly explained inside the file, but placed here for reference!

# How often should our check tasks run? Not recommended to change unless you want to see the changes quicker.
tasks:
  # How often should we check modified chunks for potential biome changes? Time in seconds
  stamp-interval: 360
  # How often should chunks evolve if all conditions are met? Recommended to keep it the same or higher than the stamp interval
  evolve-interval: 400

# Which worlds should we run our checks on?
# Try only including overworld type worlds. 
enabled-worlds:
  - world

# Biomes that will never be changed go here.
# Since the biome evolution usually goes through the entire chunk, it's recommended to keep the included cave biomes
# As you wouldn't want instances of lush caves or deep dark biomes transforming into plains etc.
blacklisted-biomes:
  - LUSH_CAVES
  - DRIPSTONE_CAVES
  - DEEP_DARK

use-biome-blacklist-as-whitelist: false

biomes:
  # Biome Name goes here
  PLAINS:
  # Blocks and the amount required for each block
    GRASS_BLOCK: 16
    DIRT: 50
    OAK_LOG: 30
    OAK_LEAVES: 30
  # The time it should take to transform, if all blocks are correct. This is in seconds.
    time: 3600
