Oceanus

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Oceanus and all my other packs will no longer get updated, but anyone is welcome to fork or continue the project!

Oceanus

Oceanus makes your world smaller without the need for an intrusive world border. This is done by preventing land generation once you've travelled a certain distance, creating a circular world surrounded by endless ocean.

Version 2.0.0 now requires More Density Functions mod, and is no longer compatible with jacobsjo's datapack map

Configurability (datapack only)

All configurable values can be accessed in the directory data/oceanus/worldgen/density_function/configurable.

Default Values

Compatibility

In general any mods or packs that don't drastically alter worldgen should be compatible with Oceanus, including most popular biome mods. An easy way to verify this for datapacks is by using the Datapack Map by jacobsjo.

Please note that version 2.0.0 is no longer compatible with the datapack map. to check compatibility, you can still use the older versions to check compatibility with other pack by donwloading them and adding to the datapack map with "open Pack or Mod", tho i strongly recommend actually playing with 2.0.0+ for better performance.

If Oceanus doesn't seem to be working, try changing the load order of the pack, it should generally be at the bottom of the list.

To check compatibility with specific mods, check our wiki. To request compatibility with a specific mod, use the Issues page.

FAQ

Does this work with large biomes?

Yes

Does this work with pre-existing worlds?

Yes! Generation in the unaffected radius is, well, unaffected. So as long as you haven't travelled beyond that (or are willing to regenerate those chunks), you should be able to use Oceanus on any existing world without creating ugly chunk borders. Still, always make backups.

Will you port the pack to versions before 1.19?

Datapacks couldn't really change worldgen before that. Others are free to take this idea and make it a mod for those versions.
