Atmospheric Biomes is a WorldGenV2 mod that I am trying to create. Its purpose is to bring that nostalgic and whimsical feeling, while also telling an interesting visual story, told using ancient structures long forgotten.

For now, the first region, named the Birch Forests, is mostly complete. It's a peaceful birchy world with a mysterious parasitic blight, sealed by long-gone mages. Play it for yourself to uncover the mysteries of these biomes.

How to install:

Download the mod and drag it into the Mods folder located in AppData/Roaming/Hytale/UserData/Mods by default.
Open the game, go to Worlds > Create World >Settings (Cog Wheel at the right of the World Name) > Mods and enable the Atmospheric Biomes Mod. After that, you can give your world and name and play.
To enter the Birch Forests, you can either enter the instance named Portals_AB_Birch_Forests by oping yourself "/op self" and then "/instances" to search for it, or by crafting a fragment at the Archanist's Workbench, which you can then activate by placing down the Ancient Gateway.

Current features:

5 biomes (Birch Forest, Birch Lake, Birch Plains, Birch Mountains, and Pale Birch biome)
Many kinds of prefabs: rocks, trees, structures, ruined houses, and more.
Portals_AB_Birch_Forests instance and Birch Forests portal key.
Custom weather.
Custom mob spawning.
Custom blocks.
Custom textures.
Menu category containing all the newly added blocks.

For anybody who might want to play this world in survival, keep in mind that the trees do not chop down all the way. I had to remove this feature because the trees are usually pretty closely bunched up, and cutting one down would cut down half of the forest.

Have fun playing this mod! Let me know if you like it or not.
