Ecospherical Expansion is a mod aimed towards recreating biomes with more diversity and aesthetically pleasing scenes. Additionally, this mod adds custom integration with the Large Biomes and Amplified world presets; While also adding 8 new world presets to choose from.

NEWER VERSIONS (1.21+): 
This mod will not be updated anymore, it has been replaced by my newer mod Hydrological (Overworld Terrain & Biomes) - Minecraft Mods - CurseForge

Taiga

NOTE: Versions below 1.20.x do not have world presets. In those versions, this mod simply redoes the vanilla biomes.

Default:

  • Terrain above the surface is the same as vanilla.
  • Caves are now much more open.
  • Oceans now lead into sprawling cave systems.

  • Adds some massive plateaus with smooth surfaces.
  • Biomes are much larger.

  • World height has been extended to Y512.
  • Terrain has been reworked to add massive variation in style across large distances.
  • There are now small floating islands that generate above the existing terrain.

Community-taken screenshots of each preset can be found in the gallery on this page.

There is also a datapack version of this mod that can be used even in vanilla servers, found here: https://modrinth.com/datapack/ecospherical-expansion-lite. Note: It is missing some features due to the limitations of a datapack.

Compatibility:

  • Biospherical Expansion: Fully compatible. 
  • Terralith: Incompatible.
  • Biomes O' Plenty: Fully compatible.
  • Tectonic: Fully compatible on older tectonic versions, requires datapack which is available to download in the discord.

Attention Server Owners: To use custom presets you must replace "level-type=minecraft:normal" with "level-type=eco:thenameoftheworldpreset" in your server properties file.
