PlantholderOverhaul

A mod that replaces the mesa/roots decorations with its own variations, showing biomes and their variants for the current or any other map. Mod uses flight board near the mirror as a touchscreen display. This allows you to see what other levels look like. There's also a settings page where you can change the mod's configuration.

Multiplayer features are here

By default, your displayed map will be synced with host's displayed map, and if you're a host, others can change your displayed map. Both setting are configurable.

Important

This mod requires biome variant data. For the current version of the game, this data is already built into the mod. However, when a new version of the game is released, the mod will collect this data by default upon game launch, which will take some time before starting the game (1-5 minutes). Once the mod collects this data, loading will be significantly faster. This setting can be disabled, but then the mod will only collect data upon landing on an island and only for that loaded island at a time.

The mod will always load the WilIsland scene to gather game resources, which are used to create decorations.

Also, the mod will not change the actual level you load in. To pick a level, consider using snowybunny's PeakAMap (Thunderstore).
