### 🌲 About **Geophilic** is a data pack/mod that improves vanilla Overworld biomes in a subtle and simple way! Inspiration comes from scrapped illustrations for what was supposed to be the *Wild Update* — this is essentially a collection of relatively light improvements to vanilla biomes without any new blocks, items, or even biomes. Geophilic adds variety to a host of biomes. You can find a plethora of new features, from simple fallen trees to forest clearings. There are boulders, tree stumps, bushes, moss, and more. Trees remain true to vanilla, with the one major change being how tall trees generate, so you don't bump your head so often! Care was taken to keep vanilla gameplay progression and feel. Geophilic does not make use of block palettes that would not be found in vanilla, nor does it add wood types to biomes they wouldn't be found in otherwise. In short, this isn't meant to be an epic worldgen overhaul, but rather a simplistic and nice update to the feel of vanilla biomes. ### 📦 Content **v3.0.0 and above,** almost every non-ocean biome gets an overhaul. **v2.4.0:** Badlands, Birch Forest, Cherry Grove, Dark Forest, Deep Ocean, Desert, Eroded Badlands, Flower Forest, Forest, Jungle, Meadow, Old Growth Birch Forest, Old Growth Pine Taiga, Old Growth Spruce Taiga, Plains, Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Snowy Plains, Snowy Slopes, Stony Shore, Sunflower Plains, Swamp, Taiga, Windswept Forest, Windswept Savanna, Wooded Badlands See the gallery for pictures! ### 📝 Notes Fabric/Quilt mod version requires either **[Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api)** or **[Quilted Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/qsl)**! New versions of the pack may differ slightly. I may make any changes, including the removal of features. While Minecraft can handle this and updating the mod won't corrupt your world, it's still good practice to make regular backups. ### 🖥 Compatibility This pack modifies only vanilla biome files, which means it's fully compatible with mods and data packs that do terrain, such as **[Tectonic](https://modrinth.com/datapack/tectonic)** or **[Lithosphere](https://modrinth.com/datapack/lithosphere)**! Geophilic can be made compatible with **[Terralith](https://modrinth.com/datapack/terralith)**. If that's something you're looking for, **use [Terraphilic](https://modrinth.com/datapack/terraphilic)**. If a data pack's description says it reworks vanilla biomes, it is most likely partially or fully incompatible. (*Description last updated 24 Oct 2024*)
