Not Just Biomes - Enhanced World Generation
Not Just Biomes offers a unique approach to changing world generation in Minecraft. Unlike other mods that add dozens of new biomes and structures, this project focuses on subtly improving existing vanilla elements while maintaining the original style and simplicity of the game.
Updated Biomes
Forest biomes such as Taiga and Birch Forest have become more diverse with tall trees, fallen logs, rocks, and other small details. Swamps have acquired a wilder appearance with small overhanging leaves and mud puddles on the surface. Cherry Groves have become more lively with the addition of bamboo and greater flower variety.
Minor Features
Some biomes have gained small elements that are not full-fledged structures. New variants of ore veins have been added - they are smaller in size but appear more frequently (though they still remain quite rare). Emerald veins spawn in mountain biomes, gold veins in Badlands, and Nether gold veins in the Nether.
Badlands and snowy biomes have received their own variants of the Desert Well with special items hidden in Suspicious Gravel. Dungeons have also been improved with new variants using blocks that appeared later than Cobblestone.
Enhanced Structures
Currently, only the Woodland Mansion has been improved, now offering significantly better loot and completely new rooms using many modern blocks.
This mod is entirely server-side as it does not add new blocks, items, entities, or anything similar.
