**Sensible Biomes** attempts to fix some of the most disliked features of vanilla world generation without taking away the vanilla feel: no new structures or weird trees, but a much better arrangement of what vanilla already offers.<\/p>\n
– **72 new biomes** help transitioning between vanilla ones _(instead of hard borders where everything changes in a matter of a few blocks)_ and adding variety to biomes that only come in 1-2 versions in vanilla
\n– **smooth transitions between 7 different climate zones** and vegetation types _(instead of random “biome bubbles” made of plains turning into forests turning into plains forever until boom! desert)_
\n– mostly **flat beaches**\u00a0 _(instead of sand climbing up hills)_
\n– beaches, caves and mountain peaks in **many different materials** (instead of just sand or random stone splotches)
\n– larger biomes, but not as large as Large Biomes mode
\n– **smoother terrain** and less caves swiss-cheesing the surface
\n– no new structures or blocks, aside from bushes from different plants (why not), so you’re still getting a vanilla experience<\/p>\n
Transitions help find the biomes you’re searcing for. Need a jungle? Go where vegetation gets thicker and thicker while plants change to more tropical species. Better than running in a random direction!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
