William Wythers' Overhauled Overworld

Introduction

This mod attempts to recreate the familiar landscapes you know and love in a way that creates a more realistic and atmospheric world.

WWOO/WWEE difference

We decided to split WWOO in two distinct mods:

Expanded Ecosphere: This mod includes new biomes and builds upon the old 1.19/1.20 WWOO (bad compatibility with other world-gen mods).
WWOO: This new project is focused on overhauling the vanilla biomes and is inspired by the style of the old 1.16/1.17 WWOO (good compatibility with other world-gen mods).

Use one or the other! Don't use both. Many features might be doubled and they are NOT intended to be combined.

Key Features

Overhauled Biomes

Every biome has been reworked to provide a more realistic and immersive environment. Say goodbye to the standard biomes and welcome an enhanced world filled with diverse landscapes and exciting adventures.

For an extensive showcase of the (sub)biomes, join our Discord and check out this channel (1.21.5+).

Biome Transitions

Discover the new transitions between biomes, that eliminate jarring shifts between environments, allowing for a more natural world flow. Check out this example picture in the Gallery.

Compatibility with Vanilla Clients

Worried about compatibility issues with your friends? Fear not! Overhauled Overworld exclusively uses vanilla blocks, ensuring that you can install this mod on your server, and your friends can join with their vanilla clients. This makes for a hassle-free and enjoyable multiplayer experience.
