Welcome to William Wythers' Overhauled Overworld!
In this Fabric mod I seek to re-create the vanilla biomes in a way that makes a more realistic and atmospheric world.
I recommend using large biomes for the best experience.
This mod is incompatible with most structure and ore generation mods!
Check out these add-ons!

General changes:
All rivers are deeper and wider, making them less likely to break and thus easier to use as a mode of transport across the world.
The shores of the river and the life that occurs within it are dependent on the biomes which border it.
Lava lakes and lava springs have been removed from all biomes except the Shattered Savanna Plateau.
Ravines have been removed from most biomes.
Check out the spoiler for pictures of each biome!
I recommend using this mod so that you don't always have to press "I know what I'm doing!" when entering a world: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-disable-custom-worlds-advice

Hey,
will this mod be updated to 1.18?
In case it will, what happens if I install the add-on for the 1.18 update's features when the mod is updated to 1.18 itself? I mean, will the new blocks added by the add-on be replaced by the in-game blocks or will they simply disappear or something?
In reply to zeenitt56:
Yes it will. And worlds created in 1.17 with the caves and cliffs add-on probably can't be updated to 1.18.
In reply to zeenitt56:
the addon doesn't add blocks. it does use some existing blocks to reimagine or make new biomes. related though, it's unclear if the cave generation is 1.18 or if it's an earlier version updated to 1.18?
v.1.7 doesn't work for 0.12.12 [Fabric]
The worlds created in versions prior to 1.18 will be able to update without generation or incompatibility problems?
In reply to theslender333:
I assume you won't be able to upgrade
This bug report will explain why
https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-240834
Is there a config for this mod? I really hate gravel rivers and was hoping I could find some way to just have sand or grass/dirt rivers only.
Are you going to update this to 1.18? Playing without the enhanced biomes is weird.
In reply to floppy401:
The 1.18 version of the datapack should be ready in a few weeks or so. Then sometime after it's release the mod version should be available.
can you make forge version? im really exited!
Perhaps a silly question that may have already been addressed but your most recent version idicates that it:
So those of us that use the Cave-and-Cliffs add-on what should we do? Our SMP world was generated with the add-on and
removing it would obviously not be a good thing lol, so how can we update the Mod and our Fabric Loader while maintaining compatibility?
Unfortunately a number of other mods have also updated the required Fabric Modloader version or API version so in order to keep with
any bug-fixes etc, we need to update but doing so then causes the same circle of issues with the incompatibility lol. Hopefully that makes sense.
In reply to HalestormXV:
Yes, as this is the center point of my server's modpack as well... I noticed through testing the modpack on a private world that it was causing conflicts spitting out that it required Fabric loader 0.11.7 and suggesting that I remove this mod entirely.
In reply to HalestormXV:
I will not update the add-on anymore, either wait for 1.18 or use the old fabric loader.
In reply to cristelknight:
Will removing the add-on break existing worlds?
In reply to HalestormXV:
Yes, in my experience it causes the world to regenerate making any progress you have made on the world essentially void
In reply to nitsuj504:
So if I am understanding this correctly we are basically stuck and unable to update any mods that may required a later version of the Fabric Loader because the addon is not being updated to a newer version of the loader unless we decide to destroy our old worlds that had the addon installed? Is that correct?
Does this add a new world type?
In reply to korin78:
No
Are you going to be making a compatibility update for the Caves and Cliffs addon or should we wait for the update coming soon? Thanks for the great terrain generator!
In reply to blimeycorvus:
It will not be updated. 1.18 comes out in 5 days so it's not worth it.
