Ephyria Geographical Spawn introduces a geographic specialization for crop growth. This mod affects all main crops : wheat, beetroot, carrots, potatoes, sugar cane, and mushrooms (as well as Farmer's Delight crops if the mod is installed).
For each crop species, the mod defines:
- Restricted Biomes : Specific biomes where they cannot grow.
- Standard Biomes : Biomes where they grow at normal speeds.
- Boosted Biomes : Areas where they grow 0.5x faster than usual.
The biome lists for each crop have been carefully balanced based on realism and game design principles, to make the world immersive and interesting to play.
In Singleplayer, this mod encourages world exploration to gather all necessary resources. However, this mod was primarily designed for large-scale servers, where it allows :
- Labor Specialization : Players specialize their production based on their local biome.
- Inter-regional Trade : Encourages the development of a player-driven economy between different regions.
- Regional Variety : Diverse farm designs and food consumption habits.
It is a mod built to foster commerce, economy, and interaction on multiplayer servers.
Compatibility
Originally developed for the Ephyria SMRP server, this mod is natively compatible with :
- Terralith
- Farmer's Delight
- Serene Seasons
However, the mod functions perfectly fine as a standalone experience without these dependencies !
If you are interested in this mod, you should check out "Ephyria Geographical Spawn" and "Ephyria Geographical Ores", which apply the same specialization mechanic to mob spawning/breeding and ores generation.
