Note: For a working leaf decay (Disappearing of leaves after a trees trunk is chopped) I recommend to use this mod: https://content.minetest.net/packages/Liil/winuserleafdecay/
This mod adds 9 new biomes to your Minetest world:
- Wet Savanna
- Outback
- Alder Swamp
- Alpine
- Beach
- Bamboo Forest
- Mediterranean
- Heath
- Bushland
It is designed for people who like survival gameplay and gives you the ability to craft new slabs, stairs and walls from the biomes plants and rocks, also a few new foods.
- Update V1.1 - Should fix the errors with biome generation, saplings and tree growth
- Update V1.2 - Missing recipes for walls added
- Update V1.3 - Added Ethereal support/compatibility
- Update V1.4 - Added the correct growth position of trees from saplings without deleting surrounding nodes. It also includes some little fixes, a new alpine biome cowberry bush and minimal texture changes.
- Update V1.4 - Added heath biome, some more precise tree descriptions/names
- Update V1.42 - Should fix the leaf decay problem thanks to the help of ShadMOrdre
- Update V1.43 - Fixed cowberries and added dye crafting from flowers
- Update V1.45 - Adds Bushland Biome
- Update V1.47 - Adds doors and trapdoors
Very Nice Biomes
I really like the biomes that are added by this mod. They look good and appear to fit well with the default Minetest texture pack. The only issue I have experienced is tree leaves don't decay when the wood is mined. They just remain floating, which makes cleanup a bit of a chore. Other than that, I really like these biomes.
UPDATE: Leaf blocks now decay with a recent update. Thank you!
Cool biomes, but I'm not so sure about the textures
This mod is great if you want a plethora of sophisticated biomes, with their own trees and food. Every wood even has different appearances compared to each other, on example birch is smooth and simple while jungle looks dirty and mossy.
However, I'm not sure if I like the textures. They're probably the signature of wilhelmines, but for me they look kind of blurry and funky.
I also encountered a bit of lag. On my "smart" phone the lag made it so blocks took a while to get into the inventory after breaking them. On my desktop computer I encountered that only 1 time while quickly testing out the mod.
So in summary, the mod adds a lot of nice biomes with their nice wood and food, but if you're thinking about getting this I suggest you thoroughly test it out in your world, since the textures have their own charm but may not be everyone's taste, and especially since removing a biome mod from a world is probably impossible, since else there will be lots of unknown nodes.
Issue when used with other mods
there is this glitch where the bioems generate but they appear just flat biomes without flora. what mod could be causing this let me know in the replies
