Alpine

Reworks

• Reworked the Plains biome, again
  • Changed the biome from the relatively dry, arid fields to more lush, lively ones, inspired by rolling western European hills and meadows!
  • The biome will later be complemented by more arid Sunflower Plains and, potentially, a brand new mystery biome
• Reworked the Forest biome
• Reworked the Flower Forest biome
• Reworked the Taiga biome
• Added new feature to the River biome which forcefully carves out and smoothens terrain, fixing the vanilla problem of the biome generating without water due to high elevation
  • This feature is currently rather inefficient and will be improved and optimised further in the future

Changes

• Reworked the Spruce Leaves texture which is now dark green as opposed to dark cyan
  • This was imported from Vanilla+ Collections

Fixes

• Fixed Remedied bug specific to the Eucalypt Forest where stone pillars would generate with holes in them
• Fixed bug specific to the Tundra where stone would generate around fully covered holes in the ground

Remember to install Lithostitched if possible. It is currently not a requirement, but it is recommended. This may change in the future.

Geophilic is compatible. I recommend you install one of the two in datapack form. This will not be necessary in the future.

This version is mostly incompatible with other datapacks that add biomes.

Biomes

• Added the Alpine Forest
• Added the Burren
  • Known issue: Contour line stone generation closely follows chunk boundaries.
• Added the Cypress Swamp
• Added the Eucalypt Forest
• Added the Mixed Forest
• Added the Tundra
  • Known issue: Stone generation highlights cave systems near the surface.

This version also adds a single technical biome:

• Added the Tropical River

Reworks

• Reworked the Plains and Sunflower Plains biomes
• Reworked the Old Growth Spruce Taiga
• Reworked the Old Growth Birch Forest
• Reworked the trees in the Taiga biome; the biome will receive a full rework at a later point

Other changes

• Alpine adds a (theoretically) better optimized cliff feature to all Overworld biomes using Lithostitched
  • Stony Cliffs Are Cool is therefore unnecessary (and not recommended) when using Alpine
• Added a feature that makes coastlines in tropical biomes sandy
• Modified the water color and grass color of certain biomes
