Exploring the Three New Forest Biomes

The mod spawns three new biomes, each with its own layout and tree placement. Here is what to expect in each and why it is worth visiting.

Aspen Forest

• Filled with tall aspen trees.
• The yellow foliage makes it easy to recognize from a distance, especially near water.
• Good for gathering aspen wood in bulk.
• Good for open, scenic builds.

Old Growth Aspen Forest

• A denser woodland with mature aspen and black walnut trees.
• Your main source of black walnut.
• Break black walnut leaves for hard walnuts. Hit them against a hard block to crack the shell, then eat the nut.
• The thick canopy can hide mobs at night, so light the area if you plan to stay.

Old Growth Redwood Taiga

• A cool woodland dominated by giant redwood trees.
• Each redwood holds a lot of wood, but you will need to climb. Bring scaffolding or blocks to pillar up, and something to get down safely.
• Its scale makes it a dramatic base location.

Finding Them

1. Explore by boat along rivers and coasts. You cover ground quickly and can spot distinctive treelines.

2. Look for unusually tall or yellow trees on the horizon.

3. Search colder areas near regular taigas when hunting for redwoods. Regular taigas now grow the mod's Pine trees instead of vanilla spruce pines.

4. Note the coordinates of each biome you find for future wood runs.
