Making a New Biome
On this page, we'll show you how to make your very own biome.
Creating the Biome
- Click on "+" icon (Add new mod element)
- Click on "Biome" or the letter "o" and name it.
- Customize your biome. Ground block is the block on the top layer. The underground block is a 3 block layer under the ground block. Ticking generate lakes.... Generates lakes.
- If you want custom colors in your biome, tick "Custom biome colors" and change the color. If you want the default colors, go to the next step.
- If you want vanilla trees, take the one you want. "Default" is the little oak tree. "Big Trees" is the big oak tree. If you want a custom tree, go to the next step.
- If you have a vanilla tree just skip this step. Tick "Vines" If you want vines to spawn. Vines can be any block like sand, cobble etc. The stem is the main part of the tree (like the wood on a normal tree). The branch is the leaves of the tree. Fruits are a rarely spawning block that can spawn in or around the branch.
