Ecospherical Expansion: Transforming the Minecraft World

Ecospherical Expansion: Transforming the Minecraft World

The Ecospherical Expansion mod fundamentally changes the Minecraft landscape, filling it with diversity and visual appeal. It offers a complete overhaul of biomes and adds eight unique world presets for creating entirely new gaming spaces.

Mod Features

In versions below 1.20.x, only the basic overhaul of vanilla biomes is available, as world presets were introduced only in later versions.

Standard Mode

• Surface terrain remains classic
• Caves become significantly more spacious
• Oceans now lead to extensive underwater cave systems

Large Biomes

• Massive plateaus with smooth surfaces appear
• Biomes significantly increase in size

Amplified Mode

• Biome generation is altered: level Y63 and below is always ocean
• World height is extended to Y512
• Terrain is reworked to create large-scale variations over long distances
• Small floating islands appear above the existing landscape

Compatibility

The mod is fully compatible with Biospherical Expansion and Biomes O' Plenty. Incompatible with Terralith. Compatibility with Tectonic is ensured through a special datapack available for download.

A datapack version of the mod is also available, which can be used even on vanilla servers, although with some functionality limitations.

For server owners: to use custom presets, you must replace "level-type=minecraft\:normal" with "level-type=eco\:worldpresetname" in the server.properties file.
