New page

This page covers installing Better Biomes and finding the new biomes in your world.

== Installation ==
# Download Better Biomes from [https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/betterbiomes CurseForge].
# Download the library [[UtilityBiome:Main Page|Utility Biome]]. Better Biomes does not start without it.
# Put both mods into the <code>mods</code> folder of your server or singleplayer world.
# Start the game. On the first start the mod creates its settings file <code>BetterBiomes.json</code> in its data folder. See [[BetterBiomes:Configuration|Configuration]].

== New chunks only ==
Better Biomes changes world generation. Everything it adds, from biomes to caves and structures, only appears in '''chunks that are generated after installing the mod'''. Land you have already explored stays as it is. Start a fresh world, or travel to areas you haven't visited yet.

== Where to look ==
The new biomes are spread over all four zones and the oceans. A few rules of thumb:
* The start of Zone 1 (Tier 1) stays mostly vanilla. There you only find the small [[BetterBiomes:Emerald Wilds#Flower Patch|Flower Patches]], [[BetterBiomes:Emerald Wilds#Lavender Field|Lavender Fields]] and [[BetterBiomes:Emerald Wilds#Orchard|Orchards]]. The large Zone 1 biomes start in Tier 2.
* Each biome has fixed tiers. The [[BetterBiomes:Zones Overview|Zones Overview]] lists them all.
* Many biomes continue across a tier border, so a forest can start in Tier 2 and run on into Tier 3.
* Small biomes such as the [[BetterBiomes:Howling Sands#Oasis|Oasis]], the [[BetterBiomes:Whisperfrost Frontiers#Hot Springs|Hot Springs]] or the [[BetterBiomes:Devastated Lands#Volcano|Volcano]] sit inside a larger vanilla biome.
* New caves are underground in every zone. See [[BetterBiomes:Caves|Caves]].

== Finding a biome with commands ==
You can find any Better Biomes biome with the vanilla locate command and the biome ID:

<pre>
/locate biome BetterBiomes_Cherry_Grove --tp
</pre>

[[UtilityBiome:Main Page|Utility Biome]] adds a few more helpers (see [[UtilityBiome:Commands|its commands]]):
* <code>/ub where</code> tells you which zone and biome you are standing in.
* <code>/ub next BetterBiomes_Vulcano</code> teleports you to the next spot of that biome. Use it again to get to a different spot each time.
* <code>/ub cave BetterBiomes_Frostglass</code> teleports you into the nearest cave of that type.

All biome IDs are on [[BetterBiomes:Zones Overview|Zones Overview]], all cave IDs on [[BetterBiomes:Caves|Caves]].

== Next steps ==
* Browse the biomes by zone: [[BetterBiomes:Emerald Wilds|Emerald Wilds]], [[BetterBiomes:Howling Sands|Howling Sands]], [[BetterBiomes:Whisperfrost Frontiers|Whisperfrost Frontiers]], [[BetterBiomes:Devastated Lands|Devastated Lands]], [[BetterBiomes:Oceans|Oceans]], [[BetterBiomes:Mountains|Mountains]].
* Collect new flowers, fruit and saplings: [[BetterBiomes:Plants and Fruit|Plants and Fruit]].
* Turn features or single biomes off: [[BetterBiomes:Configuration|Configuration]].
