Overview

Biome Makeover aims to give specific Minecraft biomes a "fresh coat of paint" while maintaining a vanilla-friendly aesthetic. The mod currently focuses on four major biomes: the Dark Forest, Swamp, Badlands, and Mushroom Fields. Each makeover introduces new wood types, atmospheric mobs, unique structures, and complex gameplay mechanics that reward exploration and interaction with the environment.
