Features Expanded Ecosphere 1.19+

  • Large Biomes! Because of some problems with world presets, you should not use the vanilla world presets. In the mod version you should definitely use the forceLargeBiomes option, found in the WWOO config. Old versions or datapack: (Select the world type large biomes in your world creation menu, or on a server set level-type to LARGE_BIOMES)

Mod only

  • A config menu is available if you install Cloth Config and on fabric also Mod Menu.
  • The overworld isn't piglin safe. (On datapack it is, so that the Hoglins which can spawn in the overworld don't mutate to Zoglins)

    Next steps only needed in 1.18-1.19.2!
