Updated for 1.1!


Hello! :)

Since I haven't released a mod for a while, I decided to make one now that hopefully improves the mountain biome. This mod makes it so there are way more trees in the mountain biome. It also makes the forest biome have all the heights and cliffs of a normal mountain biome, so basically it also makes the forest biome like a mountain biome, except lusher and more trees. Still, the normal mountain biome has more trees. ;)

Here're some pics if you don't get it:

Oh yeah, I also realized this when testing the mod, it makes swamps have more cliffs and hills and all that stuff. :rolleyes: Silly me.

Thanks. But my only problem(which its very minor), is that trees spawn on the side of the mountain, where its very steep. Trees shouldn't be able to grow where their leaves are RIGHT next to the mountain itself.

Thanks for the compliments, mattbrvc and ..::Mrb::.! Is there anything you think I could do do make it better, other than the tree on the side of a mountain thing?

Great mod, makes the world feel more random, however i found lots of mountains that are completely flat on some sides(which makes them a pain in the :Pig: maybe you could fix that?

was thinking, it would be great if you can make specific things like snow capped mountains, volcanoes, and plateus. I feel that would ad a lot of diversity to minecraft.

Every mod is :/ I generally don't get too many mods, but this one seems pretty decent.

All the diamonds to you good sir! I've been looking for a mod like this pretty much since 1.8 came out! Thank you :D

Would there be a way to make it so that naturally spawned lava lakes are always atop their own mountains? Then you could have cool little volcanoes.

If I can find the time, I will look into feature like that! Thanks for the suggestion, RB00!

Upload it to mediafire.com please...the site you are using is dipshit.
I personally have no problem with Large Document, but just in case, I added a Mediafire link.

Options to make the size differencet such as none, small, medium, huge ~ Outer layer showing stone or not ~ usual shapes toggle, such as 'rings' (Just trying to get am image in you head) ~ how common mountain biomes occur and what biomes they can spawn in

Mod is great itself, Why not improve it? :lol:

EDIT: like the idea of snow capped/volcano mountains, so add that to the list!

Not true, if they require mod loader, it can be slightly different.

EDIT: Modloader required? seeing your post I'm taking that it isn't

Good question, JDembo. No, it does not require ModLoader. I should've mentioned that in the post. :rolleyes:
