Tipssi's Better Desert Rivers improves the look and atmosphere of desert rivers by adding more natural riverbanks, smoother transitions, sparse grass, reeds, shrubs, and small patches of vegetation.

The mod does not change biomes or overhaul terrain generation. It focuses on making vanilla desert river areas feel less empty while keeping the dry desert style intact.
It is designed to work alongside world generation mods by applying lightweight additions to compatible desert river areas, making it suitable for modded worlds and custom worldgen setups.
