(FOHL-ee-ayth or fohl-I-ath)
These jungle-lurking plant monsters want nothing more than to eat anything that moves! They may seem like ordinary ferns, but they'll emerge if you come close. You can't get close enough to strike them, so find some other way of killing them! They drop foliaath seeds.
To grow a foliaath, obtain a seed and plant it by right clicking on grass or dirt. Every half-day for two days, feed the baby foliaath by tossing it a meat item. Then, it will emerge as a fully grown foliaath. Be careful: grown foliaaths aren't tamed and will still attack you!

(FER-us RAWT-nawt)
Lost underground many years ago, these heavily armored knights are not men nor are they statues. Are they guarding something? They have forgotten what. Are they waiting for something? They have forgotten when. Are they mourning someone? They have forgotten whom. All they know is to slay those who approach their chambers. There is only one way to damage a Ferrous Wroughtnaut; its weakness is for you to discover.

Only the bravest of adventurers would dare to challenge a Ferrous Wroughtnaut. Upon defeat, the Wroughtnaut will drop its Wrought Helm and its Axe of a Thousand Metals for the victor. Right clicking with the axe attacks in a large arc, and shift-right clicking will create a shockwave that brings targets closer to you. Neither tool can break.

(ba-ra-KO-ah)
Native to the savanna, the Barakoa tribesmen travel in small hunting packs. They are one with the masks on their heads, which cannot be removed. Some use bones as clubs as weapons while others use poisoned blowdarts. Each hunting pack is led by a Barakoana elite, wielding a traditional spear and shield. The Barakoa make traversing the savanna quite dangerous, as they can surround their prey quickly and put up a good chase.

When defeated, the Barakoa will sometimes drop their masks as items that the player can wear. Each mask bestows a different, small buff.

Barakoa can also be found in villages scattered across the savanna plain.

(BA-rah-koh)
Barako is the chief of the Barakoa tribe, residing in a stationary seat upon a throne in Barakoa villages. He draws his power from the sun, calling forth sunstrikes, solar flares, and massive solar beams. He can also create Barakoa followers from masks to defend him during combat. As such, his masked children revere him as a god. Unequipped travelers should keep their distance from his villages, lest they be smitten by his heliomancy.

Those strong enough to face and defeat him, however, are rewarded with his mask: the Sol Visage. This mask allows its wearers to breathe life into masks to create Barakoa followers. Unfortunately, the mask does not bestow heliomancy upon its bearer; this power is innately carried by Barako, and thus dies with him. Perhaps there is another way...?

(FROST-mah)

Frostmaws are dangerous beasts found rarely in snowy areas. Their massive size, impressive speed, and powerful ice breath make them near-impossible opponents. If, on your travels, you encounter one sleeping in your path, it's likely best to take a different route and let it lay. The beast guards a precious ice crystal that can unleash pure winter energy when wielded.

(GRAH-tohl)

These adorable crystal crustaceans live deep underground in caves and ravines. Sometimes called “living ore,” Grottols are prized as a rare source of diamonds. But only the quickest of adventurers can manage to catch them before they burrow away; grottols are very fast and surprisingly clever, even using minecarts to escape pursuers. Keep in mind that only iron or stronger pickaxes can penetrate their diamond shells.

(LAN-turn)

Lanterns dot the canopy of roofed forests, glowing like jellyfish. Some cultures believe that these creatures contain the souls of the recently deceased. Others wish on them like stars. Adventurers, however, know that the luminous jelly inside lanterns is a great light snack that will briefly illuminate the darkest of nights.

(NAH-guh)

Coastal cliffs are dangerous places. Adventurers tell of winged serpents called nagas with impressive speed and menacing acid venom. Though these drakes are powerful, a well-placed arrow can knock a naga right out of the sky; time your shots to hit when the naga is preparing an attack.

Naga acid is deadly, but can actually be used to neutralize other poisons. The fangs they drop upon death can be used to brew poison antidotes and preventatives.

Strongholder - Floating gauntlet that grabs, pounds, and swats to attack. Floats eerily through stronghold tunnels, maybe passing through walls.
Phoben - Fear spirit that spawns in roofed forests. Wields fear magic, a lantern, and a long, darkness-infused blade called Ej. Fighting the phoben will involve carefully but quickly deciding when to strike and when to block.
The Sculptor - A simian guru that can be found meditating on mountaintops. He will challenge players to complete obstacle courses made of floating rocks. Those who pass this test are granted the ability to wield powerful earth magic.
Forest Dryad - Will grant players her magic pan flute in exchange for the Phoben's lantern as thanks for defending the forest.
Stalkers - Rival tribe of the Barakoa. Jungle pack hunters that lurk in the canopy before leaping down on their prey. Their simian features, ornamented headdresses, long claws, and glowing red eyes strike fear into their prey.
Nimbus Drakes - Flying serpents with clouds billowing from its head and wings. The clouds turn grey before the drake unleashes its lightning attacks. It circles an egg in a nest on the top of its mountain, which can be claimed and hatched by the player who defeats the mother.
The Winter Order - A league of cryomancers residing in a frozen citadel.

Considering:
Large, scary insects in swamps, maybe large, scary frog-things to go with them
Anglerfish-like deep sea monster
Ents that can be created from trees using an item.
Golems that can be created from Geomancy boulders.
Snake Charmer - Humanoid desert boss that spawns in a temple structure. He can summon snake spirits by playing his flute, and can transform into a moving painting on the wall to dodge attacks and move across the room.
Just a plain dragon. I'd like to try my hand at this timeless monster concept.

I'd like to add at least one mob for each of Minecraft's environments, and I do like suggestions! BUT I'm very picky about what I work on. Only suggest your mob if you can imagine players thinking, "I can't believe I ever played Minecraft without this in my game!". I will not add monsters from existing franchises or mythologies, or just giant versions of real animals. No griefing or one-hit-kill moves.

We are planning to update RTG to 1.12, but there is no estimated release date. Please be patient.

When you launch Minecraft after installing RTG for the first time, a folder called RTG gets created in your config folder. The RTG folder contains the main configuration file (rtg.cfg) and another folder called biomes which contains separate config files for each of the biome-adding mods that RTG supports (as well as a config file for vanilla biomes).

Inside RTG's config files, you'll find options for tweaking various aspects of your Minecraft world: biomes, caves, dungeons, mineshafts, strongholds, villages, and more. Each option contains a brief description about what the setting does, but if you're still not sure about a particular setting, feel free to post your questions in the thread.

When you launch Minecraft after installing Climate Control (CC) for the first time, the main configuration file (climatecontrol.cfg) gets created in your config folder, along with a folder called 'ClimateControl' which contains some additional config files. If you installed a supported biome-adding mod, there will also be a config file in the 'ClimateControl' folder that is specific to that mod.

CC's default settings should be fine for most users. However, if you're not sure about a particular option, feel free to post your questions in the thread.

When you launch Minecraft after installing BiomeTweaker for the first time, a folder called 'BiomeTweaker' gets created in your config folder. Inside that folder you will find the main configuration file (BiomeTweaker.cfg), an example config file (ExampleTweaks.cfg), and a folder called 'output' which contains a .json file for each registered biome.

If you're comfortable using mods like MineTweaker and ModTweaker, then you'll have no problem with BiomeTweaker. However, if you're new to the art of 'tweaking', then we would recommend that you use Climate Control instead, as it's much easier to configure.

To make it easier for everyone to get up and running with RTG & BiomeTweaker, we've created a set of working tweaks that you can use to get started. To use the tweaks below, just download the 'BiomeTweaker.cfg' and 'RTG.cfg' files for your relevant mod setup and move them to your BiomeTweaker folder. (If you're using more than one biome-adding mod, you will need to create your own tweaks.)

(Note: Only Biomes O' Plenty, Highlands, and ATG require BiomeTweaker, but we have included working tweaks for all supported mods should you still want to use it for any of those.)

• If you're using Climate Control, make sure you're using v0.5.beta45 or later.
• If you're using a mod that adds a biome which RTG doesn't support (see the 'Biome support' section above for a full list of supported biome-adding mods), you can either remove the unsupported mod or use BiomeTweaker to prevent the biome from generating.
• Make sure you don't have any biome ID conflicts. Each biome-adding mod has a section in its configs that allows you to customise its biomes' IDs. Since each biome ID has to be unique across all mods, sometimes conflicts arise between mods. To avoid conflicts, make sure all of your biome IDs are different. If you're using NEI, you can make the process easier by exporting a list of all the biomes in your mod pack. If you don't know how to do this, just follow these instructions.
• When configuring biome IDs, try to avoid using IDs 128 through 167, as these are reserved for vanilla's 'mutated' biomes and can cause strange behaviour even when mutated biomes are disabled. (You should also avoid ID 255 if possible.)
