Basin Generation Fix Mod restores natural basin terrain features back into world generation. These rare, small surface shapes strip away the top grass and soil layers of a biome to expose a stony ground floor underneath. Because of an older bug, these patches stopped appearing after the 1.18 update.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if the mod is working?
Explore newly generated terrain in biomes like plains, forests, or taigas and look for flat patches where the top grass and dirt layers are missing. Since basins are rare terrain features, you may need to travel across several biomes before spotting an exposed stony clearing.
Will basins spawn in my existing world?
Basins are created during initial terrain generation, so they will not retroactively appear in areas you have already explored. You must travel to brand-new, unvisited chunks in your existing save to find them.
Where can I find giant basins?
The larger giant basin variants generate specifically in plains biomes. Because they are rare, searching wide, open plains gives you the best chance of finding a massive flat rock patch for a building foundation.
Does this mod add any new blocks or items?
No, the mod only restores a vanilla terrain feature using standard blocks already in the game. It simply strips away the surface soil to expose the natural stone layer underneath.
