Features Expanded Ecosphere 1.19+
- Large Biomes! Because of some problems with world presets, you should not use the vanilla world presets. In the mod version you should definitely use the forceLargeBiomes option, found in the WWOO config.
Old versions or datapack: (Select the world type large biomes in your world creation menu, or on a server set
level-type to LARGE_BIOMES)
Mod only
- A config menu is available if you install Cloth Config and on fabric also Mod Menu.
- The overworld isn't piglin safe. (On datapack it is, so that the Hoglins which can spawn in the overworld don't mutate to Zoglins)

How to install
On Client:
- Download the mod or datapack version from the downloads above.
Mod:
- put the file into the
mods folder in .minecraft/mods.
- Then install the matching mod loader for your downloaded mod file: Fabric download(tutorial) or Forge download(tutorial).
- Then start your game and create a new world.
Datapack:
- Open Minecraft.
- Create a new world and click on "Data Packs".
- Drag the data pack into the Minecraft window. It should be a
.zip file or directory.
Click "Yes" on the confirmation screen.
- Move the data pack to the right hand side of the screen by clicking the triangle on its icon.
- Click "Done" and continue creating your world, then click on "Create New World".
On a server:
- If you are using a Vanilla, Spigot, or Paper server, download the datapack version. If you are using a Fabric or Forge server, you can download either the datapack or the mod version (download links are above).
- If you are using the datapack version (the one that ends with
.zip), put the file into the world/datapacks folder. If you are using the mod version (the one that ends with .jar), put the file into the mods folder.
- Start your server.
Next steps only needed in 1.18-1.19.2!
If you log onto it, you'll see that the area around spawn is vanilla terrain while beyond it is new terrain. Stop your server.
- Go into the
world folder and delete the region folder.
- Restart your server, and it should be fully generating new terrain
