Woodlands : Extra
Vanilla biomes overhaul + 42 new biomes, that will make the world look much more realistic and captivating
----------------------DISCONTINUED-----------------------
If you like Woodlands, but are tired of non-decaying leaves and maybe want something "more extra", or maybe something a tiny bit more "minecrafty" - keep track of the development process of upcoming mod! ------> DREAMWOODS
PLEASE, FOR 1.20.1 USE 1.3.4 VERSION OF "OH THE TREES YOU GROW" coremod!!! THE NEWER ONES BREAK WOODLANDS TREES!!!
Woodlands:Extra changes most of the existing biomes and adds 42 new biomes, using only vanilla blocks. Most changes in vanilla biomes are new decorations like bigger and more realistic trees, boulders, flowers and ground cover. Biome distribution is restructured to achive a more natural look with all the new biomes. Major climate zones (snowy and hot ones) are still pretty close to vanilla distribution, so it should not be a big deal to find all of them.
This project includes Woodlands : The Core (Vanilla), so don't install both!
FAQ! (Please read to prevent repeated questions!)
- As a datapack in core, this will most likely ruin the world if you delete it or change something inside it's .jar. Be very cautious and create backups of your important worlds!
- This mod relates on a coremod, so it would not be updated/downgraded until the coremod does this.
- This mod is datapack-based. No configs are possible ever. No custom saplings or so.
- Trees have persistent leaves and this can be easily fixed by using Tree-Chop like mods. Further info is in the description.
- The mod should be 99% compatible with other biome mods on Terrablender, any biome-size issues with them are caused by Terrablender's way of doing things.
- 1.21.1 version for some reason has different biome spawning algorithm, even though I haven't changed it. There is a problem with Frozen Peaks spawning too rarely. 1.20.1 runs without that issue.
- Because it is data-based, it is most likely incompatible with other datapacks/data-based mods.
- Most likely there would be no biome distribuion changes ever due to the loss of the important files, any possible updates would be related to bug-fixes. Because of that most likely the mod would not be updated to newer Minecraft versions.
Dependencies:
- Oh The Trees You'll Grow by Corgi_Taco (1.3.4 version, newer are bugged with Woodlands!)
- Optional: any "Treecapitator"-like mod to chop down trees with non-decying leaves.

"Undecaying leaves on trees" problem hacks:
That's not a real issue, that's the nature of handmade complex trees, used in a mod.
This could be very annoying though, so here are the solutions:
P.S. Basically, you'll only need to adapt a few values in the config file, to allow destroying Persistent (non-decaying, player-placed etc) leaves and any other non-obvious blocks the tree may consist of. Currently all trees use just wood/logs and leaves, that are covered by tags "#minecraft:logs" and "#minecraft:leaves". But this may change in future updates. Just read the configs carefully and you'll find what and where to put in there=)
1) TreeChop mod

2)TreeHarvester mod
Config example for 1.20.1:
treeharvester.json5
{ // If enabled, tree harvesting only works when a player is holding an axe in the main hand. "mustHoldAxeForTreeHarvest": true, // If enabled, tree harvesting works when not holding the sneak button. If disabled it's reversed, and only works when sneaking. "treeHarvestWithoutSneak": false, // Whether the mod should attempt to find the actual bottom log of the tree and start there. This means you can break a tree in the middle and it will still completely be felled. "automaticallyFindBottomBlock": true, // If enabled, the leaves around a broken tree will quickly disappear. Only works with 'instantBreakLeavesAround' disabled. "enableFastLeafDecay": true, // If enabled, the warped stem/crimson trees in the nether will also be chopped down quickly. "enableNetherTrees": true, // If enabled, giant/huge mushrooms will also be chopped down quickly. "enableHugeMushrooms": true, // If enabled, trees with leaves placed by players won't be destroyed. "ignorePlayerMadeTrees": false, // If enabled, automatically replaces the sapling from the drops when a tree is harvested. "replaceSaplingOnTreeHarvest": false, // If enabled, automatically replaces the sapling from the drops when a huge mushroom is harvested and 'enableHugeMushrooms' is enabled. "replaceMushroomOnMushroomHarvest": true, // If enabled, for every log harvested, the axe held loses durability. "loseDurabilityPerHarvestedLog": true, // Here you can set how much durability chopping down a tree should take from the axe. For example if set to 0.1, this means that every 10 logs take 1 durability. // min: 0.001, max: 1.0 "loseDurabilityModifier": 1.0, // If enabled, players' exhaustion level increases 0.005 per harvested log (Minecraft's default per broken block) * increaseExhaustionModifier. "increaseExhaustionPerHarvestedLog": true, // This determines how much exhaustion should be added to the player per harvested log. By default 0.005 * 1.0. // min: 0.001, max: 1.0 "increaseExhaustionModifier": 1.0, // If enabled, harvesting time will increase per existing log in the tree. The amount is determined by 'increasedHarvestingTimePerLogModifier'. "increaseHarvestingTimePerLog": true, // How much longer it takes to harvest a tree with 'increaseHarvestingTimePerLog' enabled. The actual speed is: newSpeed = originalSpeed / (1 + (logCount * increasedHarvestingTimePerLogModifier)). // min: 0.01, max: 10.0 "increasedHarvestingTimePerLogModifier": 0.2, // How many leaves should be broken per tick after a tree has been harvested. Increasing this will speed up the fast leaf decay, but costs more processing power per tick. // min: 1, max: 16 "amountOfLeavesBrokenPerTick": 5 }
3)Panda's Falling Trees mod
Config example for 1.20.1:
fallingtrees_common.json
{ "disableCrouchMining": false, "disableExtraToolDamage": false, "disableExtraFoodExhaustion": false, "treeLifetimeLength": 4.0, "dynamicMiningSpeed": { "disable": false, "speedMultiplication": 0.5, "maxSpeedMultiplication": 16.0 }, "trees": { "standardTree": { "algorithm": { "maxLeavesRadius": 10, "maxLogAmount": 500, "shouldFallOnMaxLogAmount": false, "shouldIgnorePersistentLeaves": false }, "logFilter": { "whitelistedTags": [ "minecraft:logs" ], "whitelist": [], "blacklist": [] }, "leavesFilter": { "whitelistedTags": [ "minecraft:leaves" ], "whitelist": [], "blacklist": [] }, "extraBlockFilter": { "whitelistedTags": [], "whitelist": [ "minecraft:vine", "minecraft:bee_nest", "minecraft:cocoa" ], "blacklist": [] }, "enabled": true, "onlyFallWithRequiredTool": false, "allowedToolFilter": { "whitelistedTags": [ "minecraft:axes" ], "whitelist": [], "blacklist": [] } }, "verticalTree": { "filter": { "whitelistedTags": [], "whitelist": [ "minecraft:cactus", "minecraft:bamboo" ], "blacklist": [] }, "enabled": true, "onlyFallWithRequiredTool": false, "allowedToolFilter": { "whitelistedTags": [], "whitelist": [], "blacklist": [] } }, "chorusTree": { "enabled": true, "onlyFallWithRequiredTool": false, "allowedToolFilter": { "whitelistedTags": [], "whitelist": [], "blacklist": [] } }, "mushroomTree": { "stemFilter": { "whitelistedTags": [], "whitelist": [ "minecraft:mushroom_stem" ], "blacklist": [] }, "capFilter": { "whitelistedTags": [], "whitelist": [ "minecraft:red_mushroom_block", "minecraft:brown_mushroom_block" ], "blacklist": [] }, "enabled": true, "onlyFallWithRequiredTool": false, "allowedToolFilter": { "whitelistedTags": [], "whitelist": [], "blacklist": [] } } } }
Note, that in most ocasions leaves may not be chopped 100%, especially in the dense forests. The "cleanest" solution for now I think is TreeHarvester mod, because it makes leaves decaying after chopping the trunk. Panda's Falling Tree is the pretiest solution, as well as also pretty clean one=)
Important update! v.1.3.3 fixes the world presets so Super Flat is now flat etc. More info in the file changelog
Now compatible with Fabric!
- Fabric Api is required for the Fabric version of the mod
Compatible with NeoForge! (>= v.1.21.1-1.3.1)
Translations added since v.1.3.2!
- English
- Chinese ( thanks to Aleeyoo! )
- Russian
* If you want to help with further translations, PM me or start an issue on Issue Github Tracker!
Compatible (currently tested):
- Biomes O'Plenty
- Regions Unexplored
- Serene Seasons.
All biomes have Serene Seasons tags made accordingly to their appearence. If the biome is already colored brightly or it's an icy biome- it is blacklisted/ added to "slight seasonal color change" list in order to remain close to how it's supposed to be when created. Every other biome changes colors as usual.
If you don't like it this way-you can change biome tags inside the mod's .jar. Open the .jar with 7zip or another tool and go to "data/sereneseasons/tags/worldgen/biome/...". Here there are 3 files (open with Notepad):
blacklisted_biomes: no seasonal changes at all. Default: Ice Wasteland, Snowy Hills, Aelven Woods and Mossy Swampland
lesser_color_changed_biomes: lesser changes, but they still change colors and can have snowfall in winter. Default: Autumnal Grove, Crimson Wood, Elder Forest, Fairy Forest, Fir Woods, Golden Aspen Forest, Grim Forest, Old Swamp, Prairie, Redwood forest, Snowy Forest, Snowy Coniferous Forest and Tundra.
tropical_biomes: all hot biomes
- Oh The Biomes We've Gone (use v1.1 or later!)
- Quark
- Mystic's Biomes
- Autumnity
- Nyctophobia
- River Redux
- Swampier Swamps
- Alex Caves
- Yung's Caves
- Blooming Nature
- Geophyllic Reforged
- Nature Arise
- Tectonic
- Nature's Spirit (Fabric)
Partially compatible:
- William Wyther's Overhauled Overworld (works, but biomes may look unpredictable)
- Dynamic Trees (only vanilla trees will change)
Incompatible
- Litosphere
- William Wyther's Expanded Ecosphere
- Exospherical Expansion (does not work properly, but does not crash)
- Terralith (does not wrok but does not crash)
