Biome Placement

API options

Biome placement can be configured in code by calling the static methods of com.terraformersmc.biolith.api.biome.BiomePlacement during the mod initialization phase. It can also be configured via datapack JSON in ( ) data/{name}/biolith/biome_placement/*.json ( ⚠️ v3.1+; see here for the pre-3.1 version ).

The JSON file's top level contains lists of the four types of biome placement; see Example below for a complete example.

API methods

• Biomes can be added to multi-noise placement at specified noise hypercubes.

• Biomes can be completely removed from multi-noise placement.

• Multi-noise biomes can be replaced at a specified proportion of their vanilla range.

• Sub-biomes (v2) can replace multi-noise or replacement biomes based on a variety of matchers.
