Biome system experiment for Minetest. Work in progress.

30 Biomes for Minetest

This mod is still experimental. It provides 30 main biomes and 10 beach/sea biomes for Minetest Game. Compatible with all core mapgens except v6.

Biomes are all registered for now, but they are not all different for now, because there is not enough plants. Obviously there will be more plants in the future.

Diagram

• Horizontal axis: temperature
• Vertical axis: humidity

The values are arbitrary units that are generally between 0 and 100 but might exceed these limits.

It was taken from GeoGebra, with the file 30-biomes.ggb (GeoGebra diagram).

Data structure

The properties of each biome are stored in biomes.csv. You would find it awfully unreadable if you open it with a text editor. Actually you should open it with a spreadsheet software like Calc or Excel. To modify it, simply modify the cells and save the file with the same format.

30-biomes's Issues

Add support for emergent jungle tree

The MTG mapgen now features emergent_jungle_tree.mts a large, somewhat rare jungle tree. This adds greater variety to rainforests.

Desert dunes have top layer of stone

Somehow desert dunes and perhaps other dunes too don't get the right top layer.
