🌿 Restored Jungle Edge

Bring back the legendary Modified Jungle Edge biome with professional TerraBlender integration!

The Restored Jungle Edge mod recreates the iconic Modified Jungle Edge biome that was removed from Minecraft in recent versions. This unique transitional biome between jungles and other natural areas now returns with modern integration, multi-layer safety systems, and support for the /locate biome command!

• Sparse jungle trees - Less vegetation compared to regular jungles
• Reduced plant density - More open spaces with scattered grass and ferns
• Unique fauna - Ocelots and parrots in a more open habitat
• Transition zones - Perfect buffer territories between jungles and other biomes
• Rare appearance - Original rarity and special atmosphere preserved
