William Wythers' Overhauled Overworld (Datapack)

Transformation of the Standard Minecraft World

This datapack fundamentally changes the vanilla overworld biomes, creating a more picturesque and harmonious gaming environment. Thanks to unique sky, water, grass, and vegetation colors, as well as numerous custom features, the world becomes significantly more atmospheric and realistic. All changes are implemented without using mods, ensuring excellent compatibility with other world generation packs and modifications, including Tectonic and Reterraforged.

What Awaits You

The world is enriched with numerous biome subvariants and rare transition zones where different ecosystems meet. Forests are filled with trees of the most diverse shapes and sizes. In mountainous areas, rocky cliffs and stone scree are common.

Granite, diorite, and andesite no longer contaminate the clean gray color of stone cliffs with random inclusions. Instead, these minerals are concentrated in specially designated places: diorite is abundant in Flower Forests, granite - on Sunflower Plains and in Birch Groves, and andesite - in Meadows and Cherry Orchards.

Lava lakes and springs have completely disappeared from the surface of the overworld, except for volcanic Stone Peaks and Windswept Hills biomes.

Creation History

William Wythers' Overhauled Overworld first appeared on Planet Minecraft on October 9, 2020, and quickly rose to the top of the rating as the most popular world generation datapack. Although it was later displaced from first place by creations of a celestial object, it still maintains the third position in the list.

From the very beginning of development, the goal was to create a beautiful, realistic, and immersive gaming environment without using mods. Later, Cristelknight repackaged the datapack into a mod format, which proved convenient for most players who prefer mods over datapacks. However, at its core, this remains precisely a datapack.
