Cliff Under a Branch Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to start a new world to see the mod's terrain changes?
Yes, you need to create a new world for the mod's terrain generation to take effect. Existing worlds won't have the massive cliffs, new biomes, or updated mountains unless you explore chunks that were never generated before.
How do I find the new biomes like Tundras and Oasis?
New biomes generate naturally in your world like vanilla biomes—explore different regions and elevations to find them. Tundras typically appear in cold areas while Oasis biomes spawn in warm desert regions, so travel to varied climates to discover them faster.
Why are trees growing differently than before?
The mod changes how saplings grow into trees, including new size variants and updated shapes for Birch, Jungle, and Pale Oak trees. Plant saplings and let them grow naturally to see the new tree generation rules in action.
What's changed about spider spawning?
Spiders now spawn more frequently in warm biomes and less frequently in cold biomes, making mob encounters feel different depending on your location. This means you'll see more spiders in deserts and jungles but fewer in snowy areas.
Are the oceans actually deeper now?
Yes, oceans are much deeper with new magma and basalt trenches at the bottom, creating more dramatic underwater terrain. You'll need to dive much further down to reach the ocean floor compared to vanilla Minecraft.
Do underground cave biomes replace regular caves?
The mod adds special underground cave biomes as new areas to explore, but they don't completely replace vanilla caves. You'll encounter these unique biomes as you mine and explore underground.
Why do biome borders look different?
The mod improves transitions between biomes so they blend more naturally instead of having harsh edges. This makes the world feel more cohesive while maintaining the classic Minecraft style.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Terrain generation mods can impact performance depending on your system, especially when generating new chunks with complex terrain. If you experience lag, try adjusting your render distance or allocating more RAM to Minecraft.
Do water and fog colors change everywhere?
Yes, the mod updates water and fog colors globally to match Bedrock Edition's appearance, so you'll notice these changes in all biomes and bodies of water. This affects oceans, rivers, and rain fog throughout your world.
Can I use this mod with other world generation mods?
Compatibility depends on how the other mods modify terrain generation—some mods work together while others conflict. Check the mod's documentation or community forums for known compatibility issues before combining mods.
