โ ๏ธ Honest Notes
Terrain shape: Minecraft add-ons cannot fully change the shape of terrain. The new biomes replace parts of vanilla forests, mountains, and meadows and change the surface, plants, colors, fog, mobs, and structures, but the hills themselves still use vanilla terrain shapes.
New chunks only: The new biomes and structures only generate in newly created chunks. For the best experience, use a new world with both packs enabled.
Not fully tested in-game yet: The add-on passes automatic checks, but the natural generation of some structures still needs in-game confirmation. Every structure can still be built using the Showcase page inside the Explorer’s Journal.
Other notes:
- Stairs currently use straight pieces only and do not have corner shapes
- Mobs do not have custom sounds
- Skywood Village residents are vanilla villagers
