📋 About This Mod

**Sensible Biomes** attempts to fix some of the most disliked features of vanilla world generation without taking away the vanilla feel: no new structures or weird trees, but a much better arrangement of what vanilla already offers. - **72 new biomes** help transitioning between vanilla ones _(instead of hard borders where everything changes in a matter of a few blocks)_ and adding variety to biomes that only come in 1-2 versions in vanilla - **smooth transitions between 7 different climate zones** and vegetation types _(instead of random "biome bubbles" made of plains turning into forests turning into plains forever until boom! desert)_ - mostly **flat beaches** _(instead of sand climbing up hills)_ - beaches, caves and mountain peaks in **many different materials** (instead of just sand or random stone splotches) - larger biomes, but not as large as Large Biomes mode - **smoother terrain** and less caves swiss-cheesing the surface - no new structures or blocks, aside from bushes from different plants (why not), so you're still getting a vanilla experience Transitions help find the biomes you're searcing for. Need a jungle? Go where vegetation gets thicker and thicker while plants change to more tropical species. Better than running in a random direction!

  • smooth transitions between 7 different climate zones and vegetation types _(instead of random "biome bubbles" made of plains turning into forests turning into plains forever until boom! desert)_
  • mostly flat beaches  _(instead of sand climbing up hills)_
  • beaches, caves and mountain peaks in many different materials (instead of just sand or random stone splotches)
  • larger biomes, but not as large as Large Biomes mode
  • smoother terrain and less caves swiss-cheesing the surface
  • no new structures or blocks, aside from bushes from different plants (why not), so you're still getting a vanilla experience
