We have an IRC channel on irc.esper.net. #biomesoplenty
Follow me on Twitter for news and sneak peeks regarding upcoming updates to the mod: https://twitter.com/Forstride
If you are having trouble using the mod with Natura, you MUST use the latest beta release of Natura, or you will get crashes when entering the Nether.
Description:
Spoiler:
Biomes O' Plenty is a mod that is designed to give players a better Minecraft world to explore, and more of a reason to explore it in the first place. There are a lot of realistic biomes, some fantasy biomes, and other cool things we've added to the mod.
------------
It also adds custom achievements, all of which are just picking up blocks from certain biomes, like red rock, glowflower, etc. They're just meant to give people more of a reason to explore.
Village generation has been changed to allow villages to spawn in most relatively flat and realistic biomes (No fantasy biomes). The biomes villages can generate in is completely configurable, as well as the distance between villages. However, the distance between villages is only affected in the Biomes O' Plenty world type.
Emerald ore and the new gems can be found in the following biome types. Note, it doesn't apply to EVERY biome in that category.
Emerald - Forest/Mountain-based biomes
Ruby - Desert-based biomes
Peridot - Grassland-based biomes
Topaz - Jungle/Tropical-based biomes
Tanzanite - Snow-based biomes
Apatite - Swamp-based biomes
Sapphire - Water-based biomes
------------
Thanks to gamax92 for the initial conversion of the mod to Forge. He's pretty much disappeared from the forums, however.
Thanks to Karganeth and Silentspy for helping us with quite a few things regarding mod compatibility and other important fixes to the mod.
Thanks to enchilado for letting me use his old "poop" gag tool/armor textures (I tweaked them to look like mud though). He also did the actual mud armor texture that appears on your character.
Go check out his awesome texture pack, Rakepack. It's sort of an "improved vanilla" pack that improves pretty much every item.

Installation Instructions (Client/Server):
Spoiler:
NOTE: In the server.properties file, you have to change the level-type setting to BIOMESOP.
NOTE: Don't forget to change your config file if you want to toggle biomes or change the biome size. All biomes are enabled by default, with a biome size of 4. For reference, Large Biomes has a size value of 6, and the old Small Biomes world type from the mod was 2. You can change it to any value you'd like, however.
- Download Biomes O' Plenty above and place it in the mod folder
- Download the recommended version of Forge
- Open minecraft.jar in C:\Users\*name*\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin\ with your archive manager of choice

FAQs:
Spoiler:
Q: Can I add this mod to a mod pack?
A: Yes, as long as you give proper credit (Linking back to this thread, etc.), and don't make any money off of it (Adf.ly, etc.). You don't have to get explicit permission from us either, just follow those two rules.
Q: What is the point of the separate world type?
A: While it may not seem like there is a huge difference between the regular worldtype and the Biomes O' Plenty world type, there certainly are differences. These include: Alpha Beaches in the Origin Valley biome, custom village generation and overriding vanilla biomes with our enhanced variations of them.
Q: Why are biomes from the Twilight Forest appearing in the overworld?
A: The biome IDs from Twilight Forest and Biomes O' Plenty overlap, and cause biomes from the Twilight Forest to generate in the place of Biomes O' Plenty biomes.
You must change the IDs of the Twilight Forest biomes so they aren't the same as any Biomes O' Plenty biomes.
Q: Why do some items appear as muddy tools, when it's not actually a muddy tool?
A: It happens when new items are added, and you still have an older config file. You should delete your config file with every update, and let the mod generate a fresh one when starting Minecraft again.
Q: Is this compatible with ExtraBiomes XL or other biome-adding mods?
A: It should be, although you will have to test it for yourself.
Q: What other mods is this compatible with?
A: It should be compatible with most mods, but we've added special compatibility/integration for Forestry, Thaumcraft, and Thermal Expansion, and are looking to add more integration with other mods. Again, we can't guarantee that a mod will work with the mod, so you'll have to test it for yourself.
Q: Does this remove vanilla biomes? (Jungle, desert, plains, etc.)
A: No. You can still find vanilla biomes in the game with the mod installed, however, they have minor tweaks and changes, unless you disable the setting in the config file.
Q: Does the mod work with the Large Biomes world type?
A: It only works with the Large Biomes world type if you have the option to add the biomes to the default world type enabled (It's disabled by default).
Q: Can you add ____ biome?
A: We have no plans to add any more biomes at the current time. And if we do add any new biomes, they'll be whatever TDWP_FTW decides on.
Q: Why do desert biomes generate next to tundra biomes, and so on?
A: Where biomes are placed is out of our control with the current terrain generator. We can only change which biomes are generated for now, not where.
Q: Can I decompile, rehost, or alter the mod for any use other than personal use?
A: No, absolutely not. We don't care what you do with it for personal use, but do NOT rehost the source or compiled mod with another link other than the two in this thread. You cannot use any code from the mod for another mod either, unless you have direct permission from me.
Q: Can I make textures for this mod for a texture pack?
A: Sure. If you want your texture pack with mod support to be added to the section below, feel free to post in the thread, or PM one of the developers of the mod.
Q: Can I add this mod to a mod pack?
A: Yes, as long as you give proper credit (Linking back to this thread, etc.), and don't make any money off of it (Adf.ly, etc.). You don't have to get explicit permission from us either, just follow those two rules.

You must change the IDs of the Twilight Forest biomes so they aren't the same as any Biomes O' Plenty biomes.
Q: Why do some items appear as muddy tools, when it's not actually a muddy tool?
A: It happens when new items are added, and you still have an older config file. You should delete your config file with every update, and let the mod generate a fresh one when starting Minecraft again.
Q: Is this compatible with ExtraBiomes XL or other biome-adding mods?
A: It should be, although you will have to test it for yourself.
Q: What other mods is this compatible with?
A: It should be compatible with most mods, but we've added special compatibility/integration for Forestry, Thaumcraft, and Thermal Expansion, and are looking to add more integration with other mods. Again, we can't guarantee that a mod will work with the mod, so you'll have to test it for yourself.
Q: Does this remove vanilla biomes? (Jungle, desert, plains, etc.)
A: No. You can still find vanilla biomes in the game with the mod installed, however, they have minor tweaks and changes, unless you disable the setting in the config file.
Q: Does the mod work with the Large Biomes world type?
A: It only works with the Large Biomes world type if you have the option to add the biomes to the default world type enabled (It's disabled by default).
Q: Can you add ____ biome?
A: We have no plans to add any more biomes at the current time. And if we do add any new biomes, they'll be whatever TDWP_FTW decides on.
Q: Why do desert biomes generate next to tundra biomes, and so on?
A: Where biomes are placed is out of our control with the current terrain generator. We can only change which biomes are generated for now, not where.
Q: Can I decompile, rehost, or alter the mod for any use other than personal use?
A: No, absolutely not. We don't care what you do with it for personal use, but do NOT rehost the source or compiled mod with another link other than the two in this thread. You cannot use any code from the mod for another mod either, unless you have direct permission from me.
Q: Can I make textures for this mod for a texture pack?
A: Sure. If you want your texture pack with mod support to be added to the section below, feel free to post in the thread, or PM one of the developers of the mod.
