Terralith Mod Larger Biomes? | Stardust Labs | Page 1

Hi, I'm using Terralith in a Forge 1.20.1 modpack with version v2.4.11 in singleplayer. However, when I have tried to use Larger Biomes in the settings it doesn't appear to work, given the fact when I have checked whether the biomes are larger, they aren't actually larger.

Now I have read that Larger Biomes doesn't work with Terralith, but is there a way I can change the biomes sizes manually? If so, how exactly do I do that step by step?

Configuration (Resized Terralith Biomes)

Open the mod/datapack files and navigate to data/minecraft/worldgen/density_function/overworld.
Open base_erosion.json, temperature.json, and vegetation.json. In each, you should see something like this: ```json
{
"argument": {
"xz_scale": 0.25,
"y_scale": 0.0,
"noise": "minecraft:erosion",
"shift_x": "minecraft:shift_x",
"shift_y": 0.0,
"shift_z": "minecraft:shift_z",
"type": "minecraft:shifted_noise"
},
"type": "minecraft:flat_cache"
}

Only change `xz_scale`, __do not touch anything else__. Smaller values = larger biomes. An `xz_scale` of 0.5 is 4x smaller biomes, and an `xz_scale` of 0.125 is 4x larger biomes. For context, the vanilla Large Biomes world type effectively uses an `xz_scale` of 0.0625.

#

Configuration

There is no configuration file for datapacks (custom world settings like Large Biomes do not work either). That said, if you want to modify how the packs work, you'll have to modify the code inside the datapack. Do keep in mind the Stardust Labs License found inside all datapacks, which prohibits you from distributing modified versions of the projects. Select a configuration from the selection menu below.

Alternate world types don’t work with worldgen data packs.

'No config file for datapacks'?

wide citrus Dec 17, 2023, 7:01 PM

#

Unfortunately data packs aren’t able to have those

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:01 PM

#

I'm not using the datapack 😅

wide citrus Dec 17, 2023, 7:02 PM

#

Mod versions are just data packs packaged as mods, so they follow the same rules.

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:02 PM

#

Oh

spiral treeBOT Dec 17, 2023, 7:02 PM

#

For all Stardust Labs projects, the mod version is the same as the datapack in regards to performance and content. The only difference is the mods go in the mods folder, and datapacks in the datapacks folder.

In 1.18.2 and lower, the mod versions of the projects rely on Unfixed Seeds in order to allow for, well, unfixed seeds, due to a 1.18.x-only Minecraft Bug. Otherwise, you can enjoy the same experience with both! :)

So there is absolutely no way to have larger biomes with Terralith?

This

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:03 PM

#

Do I need to change that in the modpack or an individual world?

Look

#

Did you read that?

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:03 PM

#

Yes

wide citrus Dec 17, 2023, 7:03 PM

#

Either or just make sure you follow [[license]]

Where can I find the data folder it's describing here?

wide citrus Dec 17, 2023, 7:06 PM

#

Rename the mod’s filetype to a ‘.jar.zip’ and extract it

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:08 PM

#

I renamed it but it doesn't give me the option to extract it

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:11 PM

#

wide citrus Rename the mod’s filetype to a ‘.jar.zip’ and extract it

Is there something I'm missing?

wide citrus Dec 17, 2023, 7:11 PM

#

Can you send a screenshot?

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:12 PM

#

wide citrus Dec 17, 2023, 7:13 PM

#

You need to turn on file extensions in your file explorer (I forgot how to do that, just search it up if you can’t figure it out)

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:15 PM

#

Alright that worked, I am currently extracting

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:16 PM

#

Do I need to change the values in all the json files it mentions here?

#

Also, will this affect all of my worlds?

wide citrus Dec 17, 2023, 7:18 PM

#

It will effect all. It’s recommended to just use the data pack and modify that if you want it to only be on one world

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:19 PM

#

Alright, it doesn't concern this, but does the process of installing a datapack work the same as a mod? (I have never worked with datapacks before)

wide citrus Dec 17, 2023, 7:21 PM

#

You put data packs in the world’s datapacks folder

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:22 PM

#

Alright, where can I find the datapack for 1.20.1?

#

Nevermind I seem to have found it

#

Let me see if this will work

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 7:36 PM

#

wide citrus You put data packs in the world’s datapacks folder

Is there a way for me to create a world with this datapack already in it? Because it didn't work for a world I generated and put it in after the fact.

#

Nevermind I found that option

#

Gonna try it out now

fervent sequoia Dec 17, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

It seems to be working now

#

Thanks for the help, gonna start a new survival world now 🙏
