Our new texturer is reworking all the textures of the mod so that they fit better with the default style! What do you think?

The mod is dead??

Here are some pictures of the mod with shaders to finish the year 2016. Happy New Year!

We tried to give a wormhole look to the portal, what do you think?

Will this mod have a feathered t.rex?

Quote from SporeSaiyan»

Why can't you bring any items to the dimension? And how to you return to the overworld?

In my opinion, the whole process of getting started in this dimension is so drastically different than normal Minecraft and doesn't fit well.

But other than that, I absolutely love this mod! The textures, the mobs, everything. I hope for a release soon.

What would be the point of the mod if you can bring items to the genesis? If players come with their cheated diamond sword and potions, it would kill the sense of the mod. Genesis mechanisms are different because we try to create something as realistic as possible while keeping the spirit of Minecraft. We try to do something original and have a different gameplay, otherwise what's the point to create a dimension like that? Genesis is a new adventure, with a more realistic look that Vanilla.

...and you can return to the overworld with the portal.

We updated the mod in 1.10.2! It's only a beginning...

My good sir, first off I am sorry to hear about that, and I sympathize with you in terms of motivation, I struggle with it from time to time, and if you wish to have an intelligent conversation in regards to prehistory, by all means Id be willing, and Id imagine others here would as well. As while the community may young, which is a good thing to ensure the game keeps on going, there are plenty here who are a lot older. One last thing, if you feel unmotivated due to such setbacks, which is entirely understandable, know that in my opinion this mod has so far achieved what no current prehistory mods have achieved, that being making a dimension about dinosaurs and prehistory that is truly in-depth, unique, and just plain awesome. As bold a statement as this may be, and no offense to other prehistory mods, Id say this mod would have a far better prehistory dimension than anything fossils and arch., and jurassicraft could create. I hope this might have helped you in some manner, and no, I'm not saying this just to see the mod keep going, to me that's somewhat selfish, I just cant stomach the idea of someone going through setbacks like this and not have someone to help them back up. On a finale note I wish to quote Charles Jones, " Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you intended to be."

-Cheers, and best of luck, Ops

Thanks for using the Adfly links and not complaining, I put a lot of work into this, literally thousands of hours over the last three years, just click the yellow box in the upper right hand corner!

If you like this pack and want to support it feel free to donate to my paypal in my sig, it's always appreciated.

I think you are being a little bit conservationist. T-rex, just like all dinossaurs had the POSSIBILITY of having feathers (this includes birds, that btw are dinosaurs and all have feathers). The feathers did not emerged in the Jurassic with archeopteryx, they evolved further back in the dinosaur family tree, it is possible that they had developed even before the dinosaurs appeared. The reason why i'm saying this is that kulindadromeus and psittacosaurus (clearly ornithischian dinosaurs, a group that was once thought to lack feathers) acctually had stage 1 and 2 feathers (also known as proto-feathers) and this proved that not only the avian, theropod, saurischian dinosaurs had feathers but that they appeared way befor the saurischia-ornithischia divergence. As feathers being a so old common trait, it verry unplausable that t-rex lacked feathers just because of it's size and environament (also consarvationism).

First of all, yutyranus - a tyranossaurid verry closely realated to the tyrant king - was covered in feathers and was almost the size, if not bigger, than a subadult tyrannosaurus. It also lived in a cold environament, colder than Hell Creek but no really considering difference.

Second, the absence of proof is not the proof of the absense, just because we have no proof of the t-rex having feathers it does not mean it didn't have them, just as i said before: ALL dinosaurs have the POSSIBILITY of having feathers. Also, we only have one skin impression from tyranossaurus rex and is from its naked foot (just like in all dinosaurs we know), the other evidence is from another tyrannosaurus (not rex) and is a milimetrical skin impression from it's tail, with no feathers (just like the expected considering other theropod skin impressions).

Third, feathers don't trap as much heat as they seem to, ostriches, as an example, are big dinosaurs, live in a really hot environament and are almost completely covered in feathers (black feathers) and they actually reflect more heat than they trap it.

I'm not saying that Tyrannossaurus rex was a fluffy chickenosaurus, i'm saying that it (just like all dinosaurs) had the possibility of having feathers and that there's no acctually plausible evidence of it not having feathers, only some skin impressions that show us what we allready knew, most theropods would have naked feet and tail. Since there's no evidence (currently) we can only speculate, but we need to speculate based on plausible theories with a solid base, not just a feather haitng conservationist opinion. Science has no opinions, you don't need to like science, you need to deal with. i hope you underestood, and if you still don't belive me, just check out this guy here: Trey the Explainer on youtube, he's a really clever guy that has made some videos about this.

Your World generation in general looks great! The red desert is my favorite!

Wow. I just found out about this mod and it's breathtaking. Absolutely amazing. I am becoming a modeler but I don't know if you guys need anymore and what animals have been added so far?

Since late October 2013, when Mojang released Minecraft 1.7, I haven't released an update for Better Biomes. In that time, I've redone a large percentage of Better Biomes' code, until it became the mod you see here.

Enhanced Biomes has undergone a drastic change from the mod that tried to add realistic new biomes and as few blocks as possible to the Minecraft world. 31 new biomes since the last release of Better Biomes, for a total of 88, with 23 being rare variants, biome specific stones and grasses and new wood types for all 15 new trees that resemble their Minecraft counterparts, along with improvements to villages and a biome information display similar to Minecraft's co-ordinates display. It's a massive update.

While Enhanced Biomes' aim is more or less the same, its attempt at realism exceeds that of Better Biomes' improvements to the world's surface. Each tree is made from a different type of wood. There are 6 new stone variants that retain the properties and uses of the default stone that generate by biome type, complete with variants of ores, stone bricks, cobblestone and slabs. There are also 7 new grass, dirt and farmland variants, also generating by biome type. Villagers now build their homes from the resources around them, their biome's stone and wood types.

Additionally, new config options allow for better customisation of your world, such as village size and rarity, and biome weights in generation. It also retains the biome size, generation, and village spawning options from Better Biomes.

Written analysis

By shortbustrip / 3 Prong Gaming
This video was made using the final 1.7.2 version, meaning that the new dirt and grass isn't properly rendered or generating. The information is correct though.

Downloads
All versions require Forge. Download the latest recommended version.
For updates from 1.6.4 or previous versions of Minecraft, see the Better Biomes topic.
1.7.10 (Forge 1220 or higher)
Enhanced Biomes 2.5 for MC 1.7.10 (20/10/14)
1.7.10 (Forge 1219 or lower)
Enhanced Biomes 2.4.1 for MC 1.7.10 (26/09/14)
1.7.2
Enhanced Biomes 2.2 for MC 1.7.2 (2/07/14) - IMPORTANT: See version notes

Version Notes
1.7.10
The bugs in the last 1.7.2 version have been fixed. Biomes will generate properly in the default world type. You can also change the IDs of rare biomes to any biome ID now, as long as the "Use EB's rare biome code" option in the config is set to true.
1.7.2
Due to the changes in 1.7, Forge has not fully updated to support new biomes. Unfortunately, this means that you will have to use the Enhanced Biomes world type. This will be fixed in the first update released for 1.7.10. Additionally, as rare biomes rely on biomes' IDs, changing the IDs in the config file is unadvised. If you have to change them, ensure that the rare biome has an ID 128 more than its default version.

Server Setup
Set the level-type to "typeEB" for the Enhanced Biomes world type.
As the 2.3 update allows biomes to generate in the overworld, you don't need to use the world type if you're using 2.3+.

Texture Packs
Archibald_TK made Dokucraft textures for the blocks in the mod. Download them from here.

Changelog
2.5
Fixed crash with Forge versions 1220+.
Added Xeric Shrubland biome.
Split Woodland category into Boreal and Broadleaf. Mollisol now generates in the Plains category and standard dirt in the Boreal category.
Added Single Biome WorldType.
Added safeties to biome generation lists.
2.4.1
Added a config option for my ores. You can have only the vanilla ore generate, no matter what the stone is, or have the new gold and iron ores drop their vanilla forms. By default they do generate and don't drop their vanilla forms.
Fixed alder generation in the Riparian Zone. This should make it more distinguishable from standard River biomes.
Fixed the issues in the Mangrove biome. Lakes now only generate on the surface, instead of everywhere, which should result in less generation lag, and also fix the occasional crash.
Updated Russian translation (written by VeryBigBro and merkaba5).
2.4
Added 7 new stones - chalk, chert, dacite, gabbro, marble, schist and dolomite.
All stones now have different hardnesses, ranging from 0.8 to 2.0. Default stone is 1.5.
Reclassified biomes. Even though they technically fulfill requirements for a number of types, they now only are about 2 - 4 types, as opposed to 5 - 7 previously.
Improved ID placement of biomes. You will need to delete your config if you want to use these IDs. Essentially, it groups all the rare biome IDs to avoid conflicting with other mods.
Changed the way stones and soils are picked for each biome. There are now broad biome types that each biome is placed into. You will get one old stone, one new stone and a soil for that type.
Fixed saguaro texture issue.
Hopefully fixed connected textures crash.
Probably a number of other bug fixes that I've forgotten about - it's been a while.
pre-2.4a
Added an option to disable volcano generation.
pre-2.4
Fixed Forge's custom biome type issue (in short, I removed them).
Fixed rock noise issue.
Made a few additions to villages in the Cherry Blossom biomes. More are planned.
Changed cherry blossom textures to make them more distinctive.
Half finished a new biome, the Red Desert. The saguaros in it aren't textured yet.

Compatibility
Enhanced Biomes should work with just about every forge mod out there. Mods such as FortuneOres, Carpenter's Blocks, or mods which add new furnaces have been tested and work (Thanks, Eleongo).
Additionally, Dr Zhark's Custom Mob Spawner mod will stop mobs from spawning in my biomes. Mob Spawn Controls 2 appears to be the best way to solve the problem, but I may need to look into providing proper compatibility.
WhichOnesPink wrote a add-on to make EB compatible with DenseOres. The add-on, Dense EB Ores, can be found here.
Finally, 10paktimbits, the author of the Plant Mega Pack mod, has added compatibility with EB to his mod, allowing those plants to generate in the new biomes.
