terraformersmc / terrestria

A Fabric mod enhancing the detail of Minecraft with unique and vibrant biomes. Inspired by ExtrabiomesXL.

NOTE: Terrestria for 1.20+ no longer requires TerraBlender.

Terrestria is a detailed and vibrant biomes mod for Minecraft running on the Fabric mod loader. Terrestria enhances gameplay through the addition of 16 major biomes with several derivative biomes, 9 new wood types, as well as a healthy selection of foliage - providing a refreshing new selection of terrain.

Terrestria requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API

Check out the Terraformers Discord Server to chat about Terrestria and other Fabric mods!

Visit the Terrestria Wiki to learn more about each biome

The goal of Terrestria is to be the most polished and visually appealing biomes mod available for Minecraft, and to this end there has been intense focus on selecting, detailing, and refining the biomes until they look absolutely amazing. Rather than add tons of different biomes, focus has been put into adding a rather small amount of biomes and then populating them with large amounts of detail. This overall results in a more cohesive experience compared to existing biome mods.

Biomes:

v1.0.0 - Initial Release

• Caldera
• Cypress Forest
• Cypress Swamp
• Dense Woodlands
• Hemlock Rainforest
• Japanese Maple Forest
• Lush Redwood Forest
• Rainbow Rainforest
• Redwood Forest
• Sakura Forest
• Snowy Hemlock Forest
• Volcanic Island

v2.0.0 - The Dry Update

• Canyon
• Dunes
• Lush Desert
• Oasis
• Outback

Some biomes contain variants to increase variety

Images of the biomes can be found on the Images page.

Other Mods by Terraformers:

Check out Terrestria's sister mod, Traverse:

Traverse works well alongside Terrestria if you are looking for a set of biomes that are closer to the Vanilla+ ideal. Traverse has a lot of unique, colorful biomes that embrace the simple vanilla aesthetic instead of trying to overshadow it.

Check out the Terraformers Nether biome expansion, Cinderscapes:

Cinderscapes complements Terrestria by providing an expansion to the nether, much like Terrestria does to the overworld. Cinderscapes brings more life and beauty to the nether, while also keeping it frightening. 

Campanion, your camping companion:

Campanion adds various tools and utilities to help improve your adventures away from your home. Campanion also works well alongside Terrestria in order to make the exploration of the biomes even more fun.

Terrestria is a mod for Fabric, and there are no plans to port this mod to Forge.
However, another team is maintaining a Forge fork of this mod at Terrestria Reforged.
Terrestria Reforged is unaffiliated with Terraformers, so please do not ask us for support regarding their mod.

terrestria's Issues

Should have a configuration GUI

Would prevent needing to touch the biome jsons

Corresponding wood items

• Boat
• Sign
• Button
• Pressure Plate
• Trapdoor

Dark Japanese Maple Leaves and Jungle Palm Leaves are not flammable

Consider adding leaf piles, lecterns, and bookshelves for each wood type

A continuation of #44 with the requested features separated out. These proposals don't really count as mod compatibility since they don't depend on other mods being present.

• Leaf piles for all leaves, ones closer to snow layers than carpet
• Lecterns for each wood type
• Bookshelves for each wood type

Closes #44.

Basalt Grass does not spread to basalt dirt

Some blocks are missing fuel values

Currently, you can't use fences and other woodstuffs as fuels in furnaces

Doors are too tall in the inventory UI

Doors are too tall in the inventory:

Fence gates always appear visually closed

Hill variants of some biomes

Would make the biomes more complete.

Server bug

Hello, my friends server seems to be crashing a few times and it seems to be related to terrestria.

Add Basalt Farmland and Podzol

• Farmland, could make crops grow faster
• Podzol, would allow a fix for spruce trees transmuting basalt dirt/grass to normal dirt/grass (#65)

Can't plant palm saplings on sand / basalt sand.

The log turner cannot be crafted

The recipe was never ported from Redwoods.

Add light palm trees as a companion to jungle palms

[1.15 19w34a] Crashes on inventory opening

When I open the inventory the game crashes, no other mods. (Except for the Fabric loader, Mod Menu, and the two cloth APIs)

Minecraft Version: 19w34a
Fabric API Version: 0.3.1 Build 208
Fabric Launcher Version: 0.4.9 Build 161
Terrestria Version: 1.0.10

https://pastebin.com/tFfJqAY0

Mega Spruce trees transmute basalt dirt and grass to normal dirt due to podzol

Huge mushrooms cannot be grown on basalt grass

Huge mushrooms cannot be grown on Andisol Grass. I spent 2 hours trying to fix this bug to no success. It's a lot easier to fix on 1.15.

Sapling generators are somewhat broken

• 2x2 trees can generate from 1x1 saplings
• Sakura is broken apparently
• Need to comprehensively verify this

Add villages and structures/temples tailored to each biome

Seeing as 1.14 is the village and pillage update, villages would be an important enhancement.

Silk Touch doesn't work on Basalt blocks

Drops as Basalt Cobblestone just like it would when mined with a pickaxe that doesn't have the enchantment.

Leaflogged small logs never drop saplings or sticks

The Log Turner is broken

• Doesn't rotate logs properly
• Missing description

Add a limestone and marble biome

When combined with the Rubber Tree and Volcanic Island, this would make a pretty complete replacement for the features of RedPower 2 World. Would be a nice building material.

Optimize Textures

At the present Terrestria has no image compression. We need to find a good way to optimize and compress the images to take up less space.

Make a decision on the Rubber tree

Currently, it's very neglected. Should probably elect to improve or remove it. At the very least, it needs reworked textures.

Terrestria tags overwrite vanilla tags outside of a dev environment

Manifested by vanilla trees decaying, many items being uncraftable with vanilla resources, etc

Suggested Mod Capabilities!

Mods I can suggest,

• Extra Pieces (Blocks, Slopes, Good stuff like that)
• Adorn (Furniture, Good stuff here too)
• More Layers (Leaf Piles)
• Fabriblocks (Bookshelf's?)
• Tree Bark (Obvious reasons) Tree Bark is not open source, for this reason I will not support it. Ask MarioAndWeegee3 to add the necessary integration on his side.
• Tool builder (Makes tools completely customizable!) Tool Builder is not open source, it will not be supported. Use Materialisation instead. Also, there's nothing really to add here anyways.

Might come back and suggest more! :)

Boats

Need to implement the appropriate base in Terraform, but for now we should have placeholder recipes to vanilla boats.

Revamp the remaining EBXL biomes

As seen in https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/auxiliary-biomes/images most of the remaining biomes are rather bad, perhaps they can be revamped and included.

• Marsh: Currently not realistic at all. Make it look closer to this
• Forested Island: Could be reintroduced as a Deep Ocean variant.
• Ice Wasteland: Not sure. Could be an ice plains / glacier variant.
• White Forest: Not sure. Seems pretty boring.
• Wasteland: Could be reintroduced as a biome within the deep desert, a dried lakebed. Maybe even below sea level. Certainly needs to be smaller or at least more appealing, and certainly not anywhere near normal biomes.

Complete the refactor to Component based tree features

Basically, as of now the trees halfway use a component-based system for tree features, and I want to finish this. It'll be a bit of work but worth it for future updates.

Lava + water = basalt

Since this mod adds basalt, it would make sense for lava to generate basalt instead of stone when exposed to water. (Of course source blocks still would make obsidian.) That way, when lava flows from a volcano into the ocean, the generated stone would match the surroundings.

Need to fix up recipe jsons and biome language entries

Volcanic Island

The following things need to be resolved:

• Palm trees need to get wood and textures
  • Palm saplings need loot tables, localization, textures, blockstates, etc
• Basalt sand/dirt/grass need loot tables, localization
• Need more detail, perhaps tall grass
• Volcanoes
  • Change from Feature to Structure, generating slices instead of all at once
  • Volcanoes should be able to generate underwater, as well as properly go into the ocean
  • Add lava flowing down the sides
  • Add smoke particles
  • Add an underground lava chamber (more ores probably)
  • Allow shield volcanoes

Palm trees don't check their growth area properly

Sakura Trees only place leaf piles on grass and dirt

Got a few possible bugs.

Basalt sands are unaffected by hand, shovel, type.
As stated. Basalt sands break the same speed. No matter the item or enchantment used.

Basalt rock. Unaffected by silk touch.

Sakura trees only drop leaves on grass/dirt. Seems the leaves should fall on everything but lava or magma. Leaves don't drop on basalt or any sand.

[1.14.4] Basalt dirt - Grow vanilla/modded plants

Unable to grow vanilla trees on basalt dirt.
Be nice to grow modded trees on basalt dirt as well.

Basalt Grass Block

No texture; I opened up the file and I didn't find the file there either.

Vanilla grass and Basalt grass dont spread to their inverse dirt types.

NeusFear changed the issue title x_x

Suggestion/Bug: Fix Sakura leaf pile loot table

Maybe the leaf piles should behave like standard leaf blocks when broken? They probably should not drop themselves when broken using anything.

Trees Do Not Float incompatibilities

• Crash when attempting to search extended leaves
• Quarter logs do not have their bark side rotated properly when they fall
• SmallLogBlock is not detected as a log

Jungle palms don't drop enough saplings

I've noticed that Jungle palms don't seem to drop enough saplings. For every 5 trees I down, I'll maybe get 1 sapling. Is there a way to increase the drop rate of them? If not, could you add a way to craft them from sheared leaves or something?

Palm leaves and wood

Leaves are needed at least, and wood is an option too.

Port to 1.15

crash-2019-08-29_10.27.14-server.txt

Basalt Strength

Any chance basalt will be as strong as stone?
A creeper just let me know that its not... lol.

Stripped Logs and Stripped Wood

A part of the polish for fitting in to the 1.14 environment.

• Rubber
• Cypress
• Bald Cypress
• Japanese Maple
• Rainbow Eucalyptus
• Sakura

Map colors for wood materials and logs

Currently, the wood blocks use incorrect map colors.

Naturally spawned redwood leaves at the top have wrong distances tag

Naturally spawned redwood leaves at the top have a wrong distance number.
I haven't tested this on other trees.

Suggestion for volcano islands

The volcanoes that spawn on the biome seem a bit puny I was wondering what you guys thought about it having bigger beefier but fewer volcanoes.

Basalt grass paths

Basalt grass blocks are great, but they don't allow the creation of path blocks when using a shovel on them.

Call Rubber products Rubber Wood to be less misleading!

"Rubber Button" doesn't indicate that it is a wood product, for example.
