Arboria: Biome Enhancement
Arboria is a world generation datapack that dramatically transforms most vanilla Overworld biomes. The main goal of this project is to visually update the game world without significantly altering gameplay progression.
Key Features
With Arboria, the game adds:
- More attractive and diverse trees
- Lakes and ponds in most biomes
- Randomly placed boulders and stones
- Enhanced ground surface variety (for example, coarse dirt mixed with grass)
- Small islands in oceans
- Many unique features for each biome
What Remains Unchanged
It's important to note that the datapack preserves:
- Tree type distribution (for example, acacias only appear in savannas)
- Flower and plant placement (blue orchids grow exclusively in swamps)
- Overall biome structure
- Terrain shape (mountain heights remain unchanged)
- Grass, water, and sky colors in biomes
Compatibility
Arboria does not work on Realms game servers.
This datapack is incompatible with mods and other datapacks that modify Overworld surface biomes. However, it works perfectly with modifications affecting the Nether, End, or cave biomes.
Arboria is compatible with datapacks and mods that add new biomes to the standard ones (Terralith, BYG, WWOO, and others). For proper operation, it's recommended to set a higher loading priority for Arboria (place it above Terralith/WWOO when adding datapacks to your world).
It should be noted that the biomes were not specifically designed for joint use with other world generation modifications and may look inorganic when combined with surrounding biomes.
