The Biome Overhaul
The Biome Overhaul mod by developer valoeghese is a comprehensive addition for Minecraft versions 1.14 and 1.15, designed for the Fabric loader. This open-source project completely reworks the world generation system by implementing its own climate category-based system.
Main Features
The mod replaces standard landscape generation with a custom system and adds numerous new biomes to diversify the game world. A configuration file is created on first launch, which can be customized to personalize the world generation process.
For developers of other mods, an API is available that allows interaction with The Biome Overhaul and adding custom biomes to the system.
Compatibility
The mod requires Fabric API to function. A version for Forge is not planned due to fundamental architectural differences between these loaders.
