Better Biomes Mod for Minecraft makes your Minecraft world more interesting by adding tons of new world types, biomes, as well as configuration options for them. Are you ready to explore?
The Better Biomes world type and Fantasy Biomes world type contain all the new biomes – they do not generate in the standard Overworld. Each one can be turned off in the config.

Better Biomes
Alpine
Tall, snowy mountains, ringed by low-lying woodland and filled with glaciers.

Fir Forest
A snowy biome filled with fir trees, some growing up to 32 blocks above the ground.
Forested Archipelago

Rocky Hills
A desolate biome filled with stone and cobblestone. The occasional emerald can be found.
Salt Lake
A large expanse of purple water (configurable in the new colour config file, for those who complain about the way Mojang did swamps).
Sandstone Canyon
A sandstone area filled with small patches of dirt and trees, and deep gorges where water used to flow.
Savannah
An open plain containing scattered acacia trees.

A shrub filled plain with no trees.

Tundra
A snow-covered biome filled with flowers and low undergrowth.

A desert spotted with pits of lava and the occasional volcano.
Wastelands
A dead area of gravel and dirt, filled with the dead trunks of trees that were unable to survive the heat.

How to install Better Biomes Mod:
- Download and install Minecraft Forge
- Download Better Biomes Mod
- Put Better Biomes Mod zip file into your /.minecraft/mods folder. Do not unzip it.
- Done
SMP:
- Set the world type to “betterBiomesType” or “fantasyBiomesType” in the server config.
Config Guide:
- The config file is located at .minecraftconfigBetter Biomes.cfg. Another config file (.minecraftconfigBetter Biomes Grass, Liquid and Foliage Colours) allows you to change the colours for certain biomes, but only use it if you understand how it works.
General:
- The “Allow ____ Biomes world type” option allows you to remove a world type from the world options list.
- Biome IDs allow you to change the number that a biome is registered as. This is to avoid conflicts with other mods which use the same biome IDs.
- World Type ID is much the same, if it is the same as another ID it will overwrite it.
- Generate ____ Biomes options allow you to turn off biomes in the Better Biomes or Fantasy Biomes world type.
- Generate default options allow you to turn off normal biomes in Default and Large Biomes world types.
- Biome size can be any positive integer, not just 4 and 6. For a world with tiny biomes, try 1 or 2. For a world with biomes larger than the large biomes size, try 7 or 8.
