Remnants of war
A Philippine Inspired biome.
Description
A vanilla-plus mod that adds unusual biomes to Minecraft.
Description
Unusual Biomes adds 13 new biomes and a volcano-island structure to the Overworld. It adds no new gameplay systems. The mod is vanilla-plus: it makes exploring the world more interesting and leaves the rest of Minecraft alone.
All biomes are added through TerraBlender, so they blend into the vanilla world and into other TerraBlender-based mods. Each biome claims its own climate range (temperature, humidity, continentalness and erosion), and the ranges are chosen so the biomes don't compete for the same spot.
Each biome has its own surface blocks, vegetation and terrain features.

| 2 | Pandora | Rugged, low-erosion inland highlands | Dramatic highlands in the places where vanilla puts peaks and slopes. Pandora spire features and bending-trunk trees. |
| 3 | Azalea Forest | Cool to neutral, moist, gently rolling | Azalea trees and bushes, moss, clay pools and dripleaf. |

| 6 | Dark Woods | Cool, very humid (taiga country) | Dense, gloomy forest with cobwebs, tall grass and large ferns. |
| 7 | Glow Berry Forest | Warm, very humid | Giant oaks hung with glow berry vines. The ground is a mix of mud, rooted dirt and grass. |

| 9 | Spiky Wasteland | Hot and dry | Gravel, coarse dirt and cobbled deepslate rubble, with big and small spikes and sparse shrubs. |
| 10 | Blood River | Follows river valleys and their banks | Crimson nylium banks, red-tinted grass, a red sand riverbed, roots and fungi. |
| 11 | Lava Hills | Hot, rugged and mountainous | Volcanic terrain of basalt, smooth basalt and obsidian, with thin magma veins, lava lakes and lavafalls. |
| 12 | Emberdeep Hollows | Underground (cave biome), warm to hot, drier regions | Glowing caves with floor and hanging spikes, glowstone, hanging vines and lava lakes. |
| 13 | Sacred Desert | Warm and arid, flat dune country | Sand dunes dotted with standing stones, twisted trees and dead bushes. |
Structure: Volcano Islands
Volcano islands generate in the ocean biomes (ocean, deep ocean, and the lukewarm, warm and cold variants). They are built from the same volcanic palette as Lava Hills: basalt, smooth basalt, obsidian and magma.
