Frequently asked questions

Do I need Vanilla Backport installed to use this data pack?
Yes, this is a compatibility data pack for Vanilla Backport Mob Variants, so you must have the main mod installed first. Without it, the spawning rules won't have any new variants to work with.
Which world generation mods does this data pack support?
It adds spawning compatibility for Terralith, Biomes We've Gone, Biomes O' Plenty, and Nature's Spirit. If you're using other biome mods, the new variants may not spawn in those custom biomes.
Why aren't the new animal variants showing up in my modded world?
Make sure the data pack is enabled in your world settings and loaded after any biome mods. You may need to travel to chunks you haven't visited yet, since spawning rules only apply to newly generated terrain.
Can I use this data pack with multiple biome mods at the same time?
Yes, the data pack is designed to work with multiple biome mods simultaneously, so you can combine Terralith, Biomes O' Plenty, and Nature's Spirit in the same world and see variants in all of them.
