Untouched Nature
Transform Your Minecraft World
Untouched Nature (UN) is a massive and complex mod that fundamentally changes the appearance and feel of Minecraft, making it more realistic. It encourages players to explore completely new lands, study nature, and perform various magical actions.
Dependencies
The mod requires no additional dependencies besides Minecraft Forge, but for full functionality the following optional mods are recommended:
- Patchouli - for guide books (UN adds 4 books as an in-game wiki)
- CTM - for CTMglass
Recommended Mods for Use with UN
- Nature Compass - due to the large number of big biomes
- JEI + NEI - for viewing all added items in creative mode
- Not enough ids - when installing UN with other large mods, ID shortage may occur
Compatibility
Theoretically compatible with other biome mods using the default world creation type. If a biome mod uses its own generation system (GenLayers), they may conflict. The solution is to disable UN's custom world generation and leave only vanilla biome decorations.
Mod Features
World Generation
