New page

[[File:BetterBiomes_Icon.png|right|160px|Better Biomes]]
'''Better Biomes''' adds 66 new biomes and mountain types to Hytale, reworks the caves and fills every zone with small things worth walking over to: cherry groves, a desert city buried under the dunes, forests frozen into ice, floating islands above the Devastated Lands and much more.

Most of it is built from vanilla blocks, so it looks like it belongs in Orbis. On top of that the mod adds 24 flowers, berry bushes, fruit that hangs from trees, new saplings, 15 wood sets and three kinds of brick.

== What the mod adds ==
* '''New biomes''' in all four zones and in the oceans, from small spots like the [[BetterBiomes:Howling Sands#Oasis|Oasis]] to large regions like the [[BetterBiomes:Howling Sands#Dune Sea|Dune Sea]]. See [[BetterBiomes:Zones Overview|Zones Overview]].
* '''New mountain types''' with their own shapes, such as Splinter Peaks, Mist Peaks and Rime Ridges. See [[BetterBiomes:Mountains|Mountains]].
* '''Reworked caves''': huge halls, winding tunnels, underground lakes and themed caves for every zone, some of them with inhabitants. See [[BetterBiomes:Caves|Caves]].
* '''Landforms''' that a height map can't make: waterfalls, rock overhangs, sinkholes, mountain caves, floating islands and oxbow lakes. See [[BetterBiomes:Landforms and Features|Landforms and Features]].
* '''Structures''' from shrines and camps to castle ruins and a whole buried city, many with loot chests. See [[BetterBiomes:Structures|Structures]].
* '''Plants, fruit and building blocks''' to take home. See [[BetterBiomes:Plants and Fruit|Plants and Fruit]] and [[BetterBiomes:Building Blocks|Building Blocks]].
* '''Atmosphere''': own weather, water colors, particles, northern lights and extra animals in many biomes. See [[BetterBiomes:Wildlife and Atmosphere|Wildlife and Atmosphere]].
