More Fossils

Have you ever wondered why fossils in Minecraft are so rare? In the standard version of the game, they only appear in deserts, swamps, and mangrove swamps, and most players may never encounter them throughout their gameplay.

This mod uses the Fabric/Forge biome modifiers system to allow fossils to generate in any Overworld biome. They won't be found everywhere, but when exploring large cave systems, you'll have a good chance of discovering them.

Since this feature is added on top of standard fossil generation, in deserts, swamps, and mangrove swamps they will appear approximately 70% more frequently than in other biomes. And in the deep dark, fossils generate about 2.6 times more often compared to other territories.

Configuration: If you want to change the frequency of fossil appearances, create a datapack with the data/more_fossils/worldgen/placed_feature folder from the source repository and edit the corresponding json file. The minecraft:rarity_filter parameter controls the rarity of object generation, where a value of 30 corresponds to a 1 in 30 chance of passing through the filter (and 29 in 30 chances that generation won't occur).

You can also go to data/more_fossils/tags/worldgen/biome to change the tags that determine which biomes fossils can appear in.
