Allows adding new biomes and changing most of the world generation.

Always back up your world before making any changes!

Install on all clients and on the server (modding guide).

Some features are available also as server only mode.

Usage

See documentation.

See examples.

for help and examples.

Ashlands update

• expand_locations.yaml has new fields. These are not used by old locations so old data should work.
• expand_locations.yaml has some removed locations. Check warnings and clean it up.
• expand_vegetation.yaml has new fields. These are not used by old vegetation so old data should work.
• expand_environment.yaml should no longer have Ashrain. Remove it.

• v1.63

  • Adds new field pregenerate to location data, which allows forcing the zone to be generated even when not explored.
