What is Natural Biomes? -
Natural Biomes is a mod that adds 80+ biomes that feel vanilla. I have made it so pyramids/temples spawn in deserts and ruins spawn in rain forests. Each extreme hills works like the vanilla extreme hill and they each have edges for smoother biome transitions. Some of my biomes have smaller biomes inside them like savannas have thicker savannas in some areas. This mod was inspired by ExtraBiomesXL but I plan to take a different direction with it. There will be more biomes added to this in the future.
Why Forge? -
So I can make a awesome organised config file plus it make coding for SMP a lot easier.
Please READ if you are using other biome mods!-
This mod uses a config file to change biome ids. If another biome mod has the same ids as mine they will cause chunk loading issues and load both as the same. Change the ids in the config file to fix this!
I have made this mod compatible with Twilight Forest so the ids won't conflict and force the biomes to overlap.

ok your idea is stupid, xtrabiomesXL already has most of those and you arent doing anything original or cool, its been done, and done well, in order for you to be better and get more attention to you mod you have to do something more creative and new, not somethign thats already been done, i suggest you stop cause ur just being an idiot, thanx if you read them.
But what if you don't want all the biomes ExtraBiomesXL adds? I think that this mod is pretty cool, and it feels very vanilla-ish, as opposed to ExtraBiomesXL.

I agree with you and I might not even add all the crazy ideas I have for the future because I like how this feels vanilla. When I see the forest mountains I automatically think 1.7.3

Zombie Pigmen are my beloved bitches.

if you find any good seeds or pictures you should post them if you do make sure you say what version of the mod you were using

A mod that adds biomes without them being stupidly ridiculous. Like ExtraBiomesXL and BicBiomeCraft adds. DOWNLOADING.
