📋 About This Mod
# Biome Bound Blocks Biome Bound Blocks introduces a building constraint where specific decorative and building blocks are restricted to placement within their native biomes. ## Block Restrictions - **Terracotta variants** — Badlands only - **Packed ice and blue ice** — Frozen biomes only - **Red sand** — Badlands only - **Soul sand and soul soil** — Nether wastes or soul sand valleys only - **End stone bricks** — The End only ## Placement Behavior When a player attempts to place a bound block outside its native biome, the block immediately drops as an item and a subtle click sound plays. This creates an architectural incentive where builds naturally blend with their surroundings. ## Technical Implementation The datapack uses tick functions with area effect cloud markers to detect recent block placements and verify biome compatibility, keeping performance impact minimal. ## Player Bypasses Players who want to bypass restrictions for creative builds can use: ``` /trigger biome_bypass set 1 ``` This toggles personal exemption, which persists until toggled off again. ## Server Configuration Server operators can disable all restrictions server-wide with: ``` /function biome_bound:admin/disable ``` ## Design Philosophy The system encourages exploration and establishing multiple building sites across different biomes rather than importing exotic materials to a single mega-base.
