Description
Austin's Biomes Expansion adds new biomes and polishes old ones, creating variety while fitting in with the Vanilla style.
Features
Below is a brief rundown of what this pack contains. See the the changelog for a comprehensive list of features.
- New surface, cave, and ocean biomes! (See the gallery for pictures)
- An overhaul to water, sky, and fog colors. Biomes within the same temperature regions now generally match colors (with some exceptions).
- An overhaul to flower generation. Biomes have more unique sets of flowers, and all flowers can be grown by using bone meal in biomes where they can be found naturally. They also generate in less varied patches.
- New temperature-based variants have been added for Rivers, Beaches, and Stony Shores.
- An overhaul to cave biomes. Caves are now always a separate biome from the surface above. Multiple generic cave biomes have been added, as well as unique cave biomes for mountains, badlands, and mushroom islands.
- An overhaul to oceans. Oceans are now slightly bigger, with a much deeper region added that's deeper than deep oceans. Various biomes have been added for abyssal plains and ocean trenches. Trenches are so deep that even diamond ore can be found if you're willing to dive for it!
- A new advancements tab called "Exploration", along with multiple advancements for discovering specific groups of biomes. The "Adventuring Time" advancement has been replaced with a new functionally identical advancement in the Exploration tab.

-
Boglands Boglands are a kind of swamp added to hotter, low humidity regions. They have lots of grass, mud, and open space for frogs to hop around in. -
Muskegs Muskegs are a kind of swamp added to colder, low humidity regions. They have lots of grass, mud, and open space for frogs to hop around in. -
Volcanoes Volcanoes generate inside some rings of mountains. Tectonic activity has pushed tons of Deepslate up to the surface. Tuff, Magma, and Lava can also be found. -
Volcanic Conduits These caves found underneath Volcanoes are overflowing with Lava. Magma Cubes spawn everywhere, and Diamonds can be found commonly. Emerald Ore generates as well. -
Diorite Caves Diorite Caves have diorite as their base stone instead of regular Stone. Plenty of diorite can be harvested in bulk here. -
Granite Caves Granite Caves have granite as their base stone instead of regular Stone. Plenty of granite can be harvested in bulk here. -
Infested Caves Caves that generate beneath mountains and windswept biomes. Spiders and Silverfish-infested stone are common. Emerald Ore can be found in these caves. -
Webby Caves Caves that generate beneath mountains and windswept biomes. Spiders and Cave Spiders are common, the stone is infested with Silverfish, and cobwebs hang from the ceilings. Emerald Ore can be found in these caves. -
Boreal Plains Boreal Plains replace Plains in cold regions. They have sparse Taiga trees and some Cobblestone boulders. -
Savannas Savannas have been given a unique golden grass color. A new Verdant Savanna has also been added, with green grass, Acacia and Oak trees, bushes, and potential rainfall. -
Arboretum These rare, mysterious Arboretums boast a wide variety of trees from around the world. They can be found extremely far inland in temperate or cold regions. -
Snowy Forests This classic throwback biome is a snow-laden variant of Forests that sometimes generates in cold regions. -
Deserts Deserts have been split into five biomes, pictured here. From left to right: Sandy Deserts, Oases, Cactus Deserts, Desert River Banks (top), and Shrublands (bottom). -
Shrublands These desert biomes generate in humid areas. They have lots of Dead Bushes and Cacti, and patches of grass which can grow Acacia trees and bushes. -
Oases These rare micro biomes can generate within the large, barren Sandy Deserts. They grow all sorts of plants and are the only biome where Camels can spawn naturally. -
Cherry Groves Sandy ponds can be found in Cherry Groves. -
Painted Badlands These rare colorful Badlands generate in some low-erosion areas on slopes and peaks. -
Badlands Caves Caves that generate beneath Badlands biomes. Creepers and Skeletons are common, but the gold ore rates are increased. -
Wooded Badlands The border between Badlands and Wooded Badlands has been made more intuitive, and they've had their grass and leaf colors tweaked to be more green and less brown. They also have a deeper layer of Coarse Dirt and a mix of Spruce and Oak trees. -
Sunflower Plains The amount of Sunflowers in Sunflower Plains has been dramatically increased. -
Flower Forests The Birch trees in Flower Forests have been replaced with single-branched Cherry trees. -
Freshwater Swamps Freshwater Swamps have green foliage and clear water. They generate in continental temperate or cold regions. -
Swamps Swamps have had their oak trees redesigned, as well as new Mud patches and Giant Mushrooms. -
Dark Forests Dark Forests have had their colors overhauled. They are now more dreary and autumnal. Pumpkin patches are more common here, as well. -
Snowy Dark Forests This snowy variant of Dark Forests replaces the non-snowy Taigas that previously generated in snowy regions. They have a mix of Dark Oak and Taiga trees, a surface of Snow Blocks, and Woodland Mansions can sometimes be found. -
Diorite Stony Shores and Snowy Stony Shores Snowy Stony Shores generate Ice on their steep cliff faces. Diorite Stony Shores generate in some cold regions, with their surfaces being mostly composed of Diorite. -
Granite Stony Shores Granite stony shores generate in some lukewarm regions. Their surfaces are mostly composed of Granite with specks of Stone. -
Strands Strands generate sand near sea-level and can be found in some flat areas near rivers or oceans. There are Strand variants for Forests, Snowy Forests, Birch Forests, Plains, Boreal Plains, Snowy Plains, Savannas, and Jungles. -
Small Isles Parts of oceans that peak above sea level now have different features depending on the climate. As seen here, Lukewarm Ocean islands can have Jungle trees. -
Cliff Beaches Beaches and stony shores can generate at the foot of tall cliffs. Strand biome variants can sometimes be found here too. -
Islands Far out in the middle of the ocean, islands may generate surrounded by deep oceans. -
Abyssal Plain Abyssal plains generate even deeper than Deep Oceans. Kelp Forests and Seagrass Meadows are two biomes which can generate on these plains. -
Sunken Forests Sunken Forests generate in high erosion regions of abyssal oceans. They have sunken trees, Moss, and an increased spawn rate for Drowned. -
Ocean Trenches Ocean Trenches can be found beneath the deepest of Deep Ocean biomes. Magma columns pull down players, and the floor is so deep that Diamonds can be found. -
Hydrothermal Vents These vents cut through the floor of Ocean Trenches. They're as deep as one can dive in the ocean. -
Mycelium Caves These caves can be found beneath Mushroom Fields. No mobs spawn here, and mushrooms are plentiful. Shroomlights can be found here.
