Well, it was on Google Docs originally, but that didn't work well, as people could just vote as many times as they wanted. I think I'll just do a tie breaker though. It's too late into the voting to redo it again, as some people might not know they have to vote again, and it'd be a lot easier to just do a tie break.

The whole contest was pretty much a failure honestly. I felt bad for not including suggestions I didn't like, or weren't really possible to do, and it was just a mess all together. I didn't think the contest would get as much reception as it did, but it actually brought in a lot of traffic.

I kind of have to agree with this, I just also realised that with most survey websites clearing your cache lets you vote again, (which can obviously be ABUSED to a certain extent) It would of been interesting if you put the list on the front page for us to discuss in the Forum Thread, and yes it would mean going through pages to read each point but you'll find explanations why people want that biome instead of click "Blahblah Biome" and done. And that means you get to place in biomes that you find fitting (and of course achievable) to your own needs regardless of it winning or not. I just think there should be more discussion on this first. So we can come up with something that most of us can agree on.

But hey, you took the time to create the competition and thank you so much for that, it was pretty fun submiting our potential ideas, and I do hope out of the two; Jade Forest wins.

Well ****...I just went to go check the results page, and apparently SurveyMonkey surveys are limited to 100 responses each unless you have a paid membership. There are 192 votes total right now, but only 100 have been counted in the results. The Coral Reef and Jade Forest are tied with 20 votes each, or at least, from what I can actually see.

I guess I'll either add both to the mod, or do a tie breaker.

Son of a

Well, at least got across the ones people wanted to see

Dare I ask, what came second and third?

I hope you can find a workaround to get the leaves on those trees to decay, I know that'd bother the hell out of me.

Who got the 1st place

The Crystal Forest got 2nd, and Pillar Mountain got 3rd. Although since I'm going to do a tie breaker, the Crystal Forest will be 3rd.

How did the Overgrown Swamp do?

This mod is absoloutly fantastic. Thank you for making it, will reccomend to others o:

I will ask though - Do we have to make a new world when this updates? Because yeah, I can see there's a few more biomes in the pipeline.

Something odd I found as well - When I use bonemeal on one of the new trees, it grows the tree but doesn't use up the bonemeal.

Make an everglades biome.

Small islands of grass blocks, extra tall grass, reeds, and mud surrounded by murky water and possibly underwater grass (this might be VERY hard to code). rivers stretching throughout the biome allowing a clear path for boats to pass through. This biome should also be huge, giving a sense of it resembling a maze of overgrown grass and reeds.

I am asking this despite the fact that you say no modpacks, because i thought of a compromise. If instead of actually being packaged in the pack, if the pack had a fetcher that would open up a download from your hosting of it, would that be acceptable (ie. the pack includes a small browser, that it would open the d/l page in and when the normal d/l link is clicked, the pack would automatically set the file location, etc to it's directory)?

So glad jade forest won.
Quick question though, why did you take out the reef in the first place only to put it back in?

Quote from TDWP_FTW

Yeah, it's a pretty complicated idea.

at least consider trees that require iron or diamond axe to colect (if it is doable) and cool trees in the end^^
also, i suport the jade forest too^^

I'll look into re-adding a separate world type for the biomes in the mod. My main focus now is getting these custom trees in the mod.

-----------------------------

Here's what the Coniferous Forest looks like with all 3 Douglas Fir trees:



It turned much, much nicer than I thought it would.

Maybe make a 'Better Trees' world type? :3

Quote from TDWP_FTW

There's not really any possible workaround for it. The huge trees aren't really meant to be cut down anyway.

I don't think that's true, since you included redwood saplings and planks, etc. On any mod that added trees, "the leaves don't decay" would be bug report 1 on page 1, just sayin'.

I'm glad you're softening on it though.

Wow these biomes look amazing. When will you release the new version of Biomes O' Plenty?

Quote from gigosaurus

A few of my biomes are doing weird things... I have tons of mods installed, so it is likely a conflict, but I can't find what it is.

What's the name of the mod that gives you the minimap like that?
