GeoGradient

Biomes stop being a patchwork. GeoGradient lays climate across the world in latitude bands, so you ride from equatorial jungle through temperate forest into tundra and finally polar ice, the way a real globe is arranged.

Minecraft 1. 21. 1 on Fabric or NeoForge, and 1. 20. 1 on Fabric or Forge. Needs Architectury API.

⭐ What It Does

• []Climate follows latitude - hot at the equator, cold at the poles, with the full cycle repeating every two globe-widths so the world stays infinite.[/]

  []You set how big the globe is - anywhere from 1,000 to 1,000,000 blocks from a pole to the nearest equator.[/]

  []The bands are not straight lines - noise warps every border, so a coastline of climate wanders instead of ruling a stripe across the map.[/]

  []Transitions are blended, not butted together - each boundary gets a cosine-blended zone sized as a fraction of the narrower neighbor.[/]

  []Start where you want on the globe - an optional spawn latitude drops a new world at the equator, at a pole, or anywhere between.[/]

  []Terrain shape is untouched - it hooks vanilla's biome source and, when present, TerraBlender. Mountains and caves stay exactly as your other mods made them.[/]

  📋 Requirements

  • []Minecraft 1. 21. 1 on Fabric or NeoForge, and 1. 20. 1 on Fabric or Forge.[/]

    []Architectury API 13. 0. 8 or later on every loader.[/]

    []Fabric API 0. 110. 0 or later, Fabric Loader 0. 16. 9 or later, and Cloth Config API 15. 0. 140 or later, on Fabric.[/]

    []NeoForge 21. 1 or later, on NeoForge.[/]

    📥 Installation

    • []Install your loader and Architectury API, plus Fabric API and Cloth Config if you are on Fabric.[/]

      []On the Files tab, download the file for your Minecraft version and loader, unzip it, and put the jar in your mods folder.[/]

      []Create a world and travel north or south. The climate changes as you go.[/]

      ⚙️ Configuration

      Settings are read when the Overworld loads. On Fabric the file is config/geogradient.json; on NeoForge it is config/geogradient-common.toml.

      • []globe_size - 10,000 - Blocks from a pole to the nearest equator, 1,000 to 1,000,000. The full cycle repeats every two of these.[/]

        []border_amplitude - 200 - Maximum Z-axis warp applied to biome borders by noise, in blocks, 0 to 10,000.[/]

        []border_frequency - 0. 002 - Frequency of that border noise, 0. 0001 to 0. 1. Lower is broader waves, higher is tighter ripples.[/]

        []spawn_latitude - 0. 0 - Where a new world spawns, -1. 0 at the equator to 1. 0 at the north pole. 0. 0 leaves spawn alone.[/]

        []blend_fraction - 0. 15 - Width of the blended transition at each band boundary, 0. 0 to 0. 5, as a fraction of the narrower band.[/]

        NeoForge enforces those ranges. On Fabric a value outside its range is clamped when the world loads.

        🖥️ Compatibility

        • []Existing worlds. Chunks generated before you added the mod keep their biomes; only new columns follow the climate bands. Expect a visible seam at the edge of explored terrain.[/]

          []Client or server. It changes world generation, so it goes on the server and on every client.[/]

          []Spawn is set once. The override runs on first world load and leaves a marker in the world folder, so changing spawn_latitude later does not move an existing world's spawn.[/]

          []TerraBlender is used when it is installed, and skipped cleanly when it is not.[/]

          []Terrain shape, caves and structures are untouched, so mods that change those work alongside it.[/]

          🐛 Support

          • []Report bugs on the Bugs tab of this page, and ask questions on the Posts tab.[/]

            []Include your Minecraft version, your loader and its version, the mod version, and your other mods.[/]
