[@KeksiGaming]

Just wanted to correct something. "Oh The Biomes You'll Go" is also on Fabric from the creator himself. It is called "Oh The Biomes You'll Go Refabricated"

[@Noxusmods]

Thanks for the hint! I added it into the description :)

[@fnytnqsladcgqlefzcqxlzlcgj9220]

But incompatible with 20.1 :(((

[@nathanburgett1599]

Its on modrinth by the original name as well.

[@Jackk225]

This is so much better than most reviews of biome mods, you actually get a sense of how they look

[@Noxusmods]

Glad you like it :)

[@raiiiden]

Tan's Huge Trees are super fun, but make sure you don't have too many other mods if you don't have a good computer because the trees render after the world does so it isn't post-generation and lowers fps when they spawn. (This was at least true for the 1.16.5 version I tried awhile ago)

[@Noxusmods]

Yeah, as I mentioned in the video - the mod definitely causes some lags when generating new chunks, which is a downside :)

[@Thomas-zx3cc]

Would that leaf culling mod help or does that only work with actual trees and not structures?

[@raiiiden]

@@Thomas-zx3cc leaf culling in general helps, but the generation of the trees is hundreds if not thousands of blocks of wood it it isn't precisely the leaves, but the amount of wood getting placed.

[@jaceworley]

If you run it server-side only (meaning you need a server hoster) then I think it could improve client speed but lag server speed

[@Name-sx3ss]

Someone needs to put these all into one somehow lol

[@ezra631]

Great video!! Really appreciate how you not only showed off the terrain of each mod but also compared them. Definitely helps on deciding which one to choose. Again, amazing work!

[@laser_red1820]

Vanilla Vistas is incredibly underrated, sad that OTG hasn't updated past 1.16.5.

[@de4ndre3dwards]

I went to look for it and realized that. Soooo disappointed. It's such a different vibe than other world gen mods.

[@OnMod]

Great video man! Hadn't heard about a few of these, definitely will check them out.

[@itsyaboidaniel2919]

These mods look great. It's too bad that 1.19 did not live up to those standards. Not that it was a bad update, but the sheer amount of content in each mod blows it away in comparison to what it should have been. At least we have the mods themselves to imagine what could have been.

[@sosa0]

Terralith is also compatible with Tectonic, thanks to Tectonic's developer. If you have both of them installed, then a datapack included with Tectonic called "Terratonic" gets automatically enabled. I'd say that combination provides the best world generation for 1.19.4

[@Nitrox_909]

that would make up for tectonics lack of terrain variety... i try combining this with oh the biomes youll go abroria and wilder wilds. I wonder how it'll look

[@gugu5285]

ive had a lot of fun playing in a world using this, however structures like villages keep carving into the landmass in a glitchy looking way. it is really beautiful and vast yes, but if you care about structures then make sure the seed youre using isnt garbled like mine was before i invested too much time into it.

[@m4rcyonstation93]

If you use the mod versions, terratonic is built into the mod

[@vivian-rs2ms]

This is such a great review! I hadn't heard of dregora before, and it sounds perfect for me. Can't wait to watch more of your content!

[@mariae.6707]

Thanks for this video. I'm new to minecraft stuffs and I was really confused about the mods but the way you explained is really helpful.

[@NAGAN0000]

Love your videos. I really enjoy the professional feels to them. Also your editing.

[@Felasonic12]

Thank you, exactly what I needed for my modpack.

[@thishuman4171]

12:00 Terralith is also compatible with William Wythers' mod if you the compatibility mode for WWOO. So you can actually use the top two spots from this video together if you wanted.

[@flintloco2818]

do you know how to put that compatible mode

[@thishuman4171]

@@flintloco2818 You will need to have TerraBlender and Mod Menu installed. Then when you go to the mod settings for WWOO, you'll have option to choose between standard and compatibility mode.

[@Kutomi1]

yeah, please enlighten us with this knowledge I've been looking for that option too and can't find it anywhere

[@goodmarlin8018]

@@Kutomi1 To find that setting, you need to put in Cloth Config, Mod Menu and TerraBlender. turn on Compatible Mode from the WWOO setting in the Mod Menu settings.

[@T0e-Man]

@@goodmarlin8018 Not there

[@KenGroth-ts6ge]

Probably the best representation of my mod, Far From Home, that ive seen so far, thank you :)

[@dddripz]

Why don't you update it anymore 😭

[@dingbat3440]

One reason I prefer WWOO over Terralith is how it overhauls the vanilla biomes to give them more detail, and that the trees feel more grand. Makes walking through forests a lot more interesting.

[@vielleicht6023]

Amazing video, so helpful. Looking forward to an update, since a few mods are not on 1.20.1 and there might be new ones :)

[@Dregora.]

Thanks for the spotlight!

[@projectarduino2295]

I absolutely love all of these generation mods! The new generation got me back in the game with caves and cliffs. I have an idea of a few mods that would make the game perfect for me, but I just don’t have a computer capable and I don’t actually know how to add mods. I still love seeing all these amazing generations though!

[@PCRouter]

wish you wouldve put in the seeds as well for these worlds, the one at 9:26 for Tectonic is absolutely gorgeous

[@-beznadesht-]

Cool video! Thank you! 🔥

[@Hearthful_]

I just managed to get Terralith, Tectonic, Oh The Bioms You'll Go, and WWOO (or WWEE to be precise) to work together in a fabric pack. I also slapped ChoiceTheorem's Overhauled Village on top for good measure. Oh boooooy I can't wait for the weekend to take it for a spin.

[@Night-Rider101]

but who asked? nobody cares

[@wholefoodstm4790]

I asked and I care

[@baselessowl]

as some who's very interested in this, i can confirm that i in fact do care.

[@Cyberlong]

As a person that cares, how did it go?

[@charan45482]

@@Night-Rider101 I care and I asked

[@kenjz8413]

It is tough to play with Terralith in the early game cuz of generation, because of weird biomes like the forest between badlands and volcano 11:24 which make it hard to build some plans for your survival and it is hard to find some good places to build your house. It's a huge reason to make William a 1 place, it is a really clean not overloaded generation which makes game looks fabulous. William is not compatible with some mods (like Tech Reborn which added a new tree) but it is still the best one I ever played

[@jeremybasset9041]

I agree william would be No.1 but can it be combined with ecotones? I like th subtle details in ectones and it could be wonderful with william terrain gen

[@AvidEric]

Which of those would you say comes closest to Wildlands (mostly for its diversity in biomes and closeness to reality)? Just wondering since Wildlands unfortunately hasn't even arrived at 1.16, yet, and I'm looking for something to use with the current or second to last version and that gets updated regularly.

[@lavoroxan8114]

Incredible how Minecraft is one of the most relevant games of all time, yet concise and thorough mod showcases like this are still rare. All the yelling, clickbait, filler, pointless editing or lack of editing, overly long or just annoying mod showcases still seem to be the norm. Makes finding a video / channel like this all the more rewarding though. Great job man.

[@cullingtron]

I commented on one of your videos from a while ago and I was wondering what mod do you use to create cinematic shots on Forge. I've been trying to find a Replay like mod but it is only for Fabric and I'm making a video that would be better with a mod like the Replay mod. I've looked everywhere and found nothing

[@megareavermickeybot7985]

Imagine slapping these all into one big Mod Pack and slapping a few other Mod packs on top of that, including the Emersive Dimensions Mod and a mod pack that adds in multiple dimensions as well a mod pack that adds in more structures and larger villages and all that and your in for quite one big Adventuress ride! I'd love to see all these Mods in one Mod pack just to see what would generate as a result!

[@KW-ps6hk]

Sounds like a great base/foundation modpack to then work from.

[@jensenthegreen6780]

Finally tectonic!!! Been loving that mod since its datapack days.

[@harisayaz1238]

I had regions unexplored , oh the biomes youll go and biomes o plenty . Im gonna try these too I hope they can work with them lol

[@sebastianaguilar4906]

My personal favorite is probably Regions Unexplored. I think it has the perfect amount of features: new blocks, variety of color, compatability with other mods, cool textures, and being so recent it has so much potential to grow!

[@catalinariverwood]

Terralith is special for me because it uses slabs everywhere. The other well-known mods don't generate them.

[@quinnkien4901]

Another W vid from Noxus, keep up the good work.

[@SayonaraGaming]

Nice video! Links to the mods in the description would be the cherry on top

[@TimmyGC]

I'm going through this, and on the third one, I'm thinking "I'd rate this much higher" and then I see the next one and realize why it's down that far. I also thought "I'm unsatisfied with these large solo mountains" and then you mention the mountain ranges of Tectonic. Do you have recommendations for a more ocean- oriented biome generator?

[@TuPanaSuiza647]

Regions unexplored + biomes o plenty was a really god combination

[@umurcanortug33]

what a quality content! that mods really make minecraft another level,thanks for showing us.

[@moorix6204]

Your Commentary reminds me of my English class in school. We always had to use words like However, Furthermore etc. in our essays.

[@Arctus69420]

Hey man I really like your videos but can you please make more individual mod showcases I really like those

[@user-ot4rp8yn8r]

Your shader is so beautiful man

[@extra-terra-strial-bv9pv]

Awespme video dude

[@coles9398]

I'd love to see your review on the Terra mod

[@krombobul]

useful vid thx

[@caspera3193]

It's shocking how much more interesting some of these biomes are compared to the vanilla ones.

[@logen7959]

Why the biggest biome mods had to be exclusive to forge and older versions!? 600 biomes, are you kidding me??

[@melvinwarriors4692]

Hmmmm im using the 2nd on the list and it is alot the same but some small new thing tho not as much as you show. Also what shaders loader do you use when optifine is broken?

[@Nitrox_909]

Wild nature had so much potential, sadly it was abandoned by the devs

[@leoromiya5338]

It's such a shame that some of the one's I personally find more interesting are far less accessable in terms of available versions. I was so excited to add them into my server for me and my friends to explore :/

[@syntax1971]

Gutes Video, du hast viel mehr Klicks verdient

[@crystalianisfishgamming1691]

i love how he puts thease vids they have beautiful mods!

Bro I just want to find a nice place build a decent looking house and bro takes me to another whole universe. respect.

[@vassagomobile9164]

thank you for your videos, even if I don't know English well, I can understand what you're saying

[@Cadentem]

You didn't really go into caves, which terralith is good at improving on They're more spacious and can go really crazy

[@ikaiju-eu9wn]

i think mods make nether too colorful, after all it's still supposed to be hell, in my opinion nether needs more hellish features

[@Dino49284]

Hmmm I’m looking for something good and that’ll work well with ice and fire for 1.12.2 do you suggest any of these?

[@nd-zf6hh]

Tectonic + Terralith + Tan's huge trees + When dungeons arise! + choicetheorem's overhauled village = masterpiece

[@gglobensky]

Tectonic can be used with Terralith. It is supposed to work with the 2 mod versions but for me Tectonic biomes wouldn't appear. I used Terratonic with Terralith datapack version and it works. All that on Forge 1.18.2

[@HollowBagel]

Tectonic on 1.18.2 is fairly broken. Especially with mods. They aren't supporting it anymore, and the 2.0 update that fixes a lot of stuff is only in 1.19+.

[@uCruz_]

I honestly always felt like these grand scale world generation mods are more to be looked at than to be played at, cuz everything is so huge and awkward to control to fit your needs, if you decide to make a big build that could take a lot of time, with some of those mods could take even more time, I don't know if I just haven't found the mod that feeds my desires, am being just annoying or just don't have the computer to play with them and say that I don't like it. I feel like I would prefer a mod that doesn't add a crazy ammount of blocks just to make a new biome, something that uses what already exists, and it doesn't change absolutly everything with crazy new grand biomes, just some new features, enough for me to want to explore it, not too many to make me feel small and overwhelmed.

[@gooseosessooe]

Your distress about these mods is very understandable Personally I would use a mix of smaller worldgen mods and mix and match them Or you could use biomes O plenty or Oh the biomes you'll go as most of the biomes are very survival friendly Of course the previous 2 adds a lot of blocks but imo it's pretty manageable as most of it is just foliage and decor blocks

[@playerzero0000]

Terralith doesn’t add any new blocks, but there is a massive overhaul in biomes and terrain. You could try Red’s Better Biomes, it’s the most vanilla friendly biome mod I’ve found so far. It only overhauls the vanilla biomes without adding any new blocks or biomes. You’ll get more ground cover, better trees, and more detailed biomes.

[@simpleman3898]

Biomes o plenty woooooooooo😂. I love that mod so much. Just adds some variety and realistic at that. I love biome mods. It's the simplest way to change up your experience. I definitely want to try these. 😊

[@Qelyn]

Also my favourite along with Terralith as terralith works with all other mods as its not changing blocks i have a dragons viking boats modpack with 200+ mods and i use terralith cause if i use biomes o plenty everything goes invisible and the structures don’t spawn

[@atreidesson]

The number seven is just fabulous!

[@fakelife4429]

tbh I wish I can add all of them!!! they all look fuxkin amazing!!!

[@Sinking-br5zp]

Novux is possibly the best TOPS creator, this channel needs more support

[@ludwigthedragon8645]

is there any good movement/exploration mods to pair with some of these larger generation mods?

[@matthewboyd8689]

Beautiful landscapes are great I just wish I didn't have to hit the jump button to walk over nearly flat terrain. (Being able to grab the ledge of 2 blocks up would be nice too) To bad console versions only have DLC that is separate from mods

[@Valdifer90]

I have in my server biomesoplenty and terralith and is one of the best things i saw in generation, is awesome te overworld that u have with them in 1.20.1

[@user-ns2ku3zz7p]

I have question. Can minecraft building map work get along with any world generation biomes mods?

[@harisayaz1238]

ALL these mods make those endgame super bases seem like the starting sea shake house lol

[@johnroebuck4349]

nice

[@OregbesanTolu]

You should make a video on fantasy weapons

[@lumagatto1191]

I think you didn't get tectonic's intent. It only modifies the terrain shape and biome distribution. It doesn't touch feature generation, so the user can choose another mod that does that. I personally use it with William Wythers Overhauled Overworld

[@zorpglorp]

Any good magic mods to pair with these? Moving from bedrock back to java and i wanna get into modding. But for now i wanna get a good Forge mod pack to pair with these. (if some of these are compatible PLEASE tell me i really would want to combine some of the terrain focused ones with the fantasy ones!) im pretty interested in regions unexplored, vanilla vistas, oh the biomes youll go, tectonic, and terralith i mostly wanna combine regions unexplored with any of the terrain focused ones

[@Onimaruu]

I know of a couple really good magic mods: Ars Nouveau Mana and Artifice Hexerei Botania Look up some showcases on them all them are really good.

[@zahraakhtar227]

William wythers overworld overhaul is like minecraft 2

[@scotthayes5386]

I love using biomes you’ll go overworld and end with regions unexplored caves and nether

[@LordYvain]

Will you do one about little mods that don't change the game that much

[@justmehplays5148]

Ecotones seems so under-rated. The world gen is mind bogglingly good for V1.20. Note: I haven been able to check some of the mods as they are not yet in V1.20

[@jeremybasset9041]

can ecotones be combined with william wythers? I think that combo would be great

[@justmehplays5148]

​@@jeremybasset9041 Unfortunately it does not. Ecotones creates a new world type called Ecotones, where as william wythers seems to add various new biomes to the Default world type. With both plugins installed i could either get william wythers in a default world but no ecotones biomes were created and vice versa i could get Ecotones in the ecotones world but none of william wyther's biomes would be created. Tried to "hack" ecotones into the default world but failed and just corrupted the world. Maybe someone smarter can try that XD.

[@dasfischyyy3465]

can you combine mods on this list? for example, i want to combine tans huge trees, biomes o plenty and vanilla vistas?

[@donnythedealer9761]

Is Terralith just mountains galore? Part of the draw of default minecraft is that theres a lot of plains that are relatively flat. I want it to be a bit more realistic with bigger mountains and whatnot, but I dont want everything to be a mountain. (Mainly looking to add things like volcanos to make the overworld feel more like earth does)

[@xenoraptor4714]

Btw recently Naturalist has gotten its 3rd major update, Swampier Swamps!

[@EVILBUNNY28]

Imagine getting all of these mods to work together in one modpack

[@KiradoTOMEtome]

i really wanted to put some elytra mods + world gen mods but they mostly from different versions

[@brettie7197]

okay but how the heck did you get such a great render distance ... with shaders??

[@PRsilent]

idk

[@gideonarmstrong8221]

Maybe distant horizons

[@Whodidyoudieto]

i would recomend biomes O' PLenty with Caelum (as in the sky mod where the stars are better)

[@pizzaparker.]

Are there any Nature mods for the bedrock edition? I can't find any on KZbin and can't look in the marketplace at the moment

[@script.Parent]

i want it for would be the best mod that is JUST terrain generation, since I want to use bare bones and distant horizons

[@josuke_solof]

Your voice is amazing

[@deathsthirdeye1634]

10:28 i loved me watching this part after getting 5 yellowstone spawns in a row with terralith

[@gglobensky]

I love Terraforged but the Caves from 1.18.2 are lackluster. Did someone manage to change the config to make caves deeper and bigger? This is the only thing that prevents me from using it in the newer versions. WonTon even added kinda flowing rivers!

[@karolsgaming4507]

I downloaded Tectonic and I am using the shaders SUES PTGI HRR 3. But when I explore some areas of the map its just dark. The blocks are black. do you know how to fix it?

[@crowdozer3592]

i love terralith + BYG, but man does it make servers slow when exploring lol

[@Desenrad]

For OG players, I think its about time someone make a modpack that does not add a bunch of random stuff. instead just massive new terrain and a bunch of mods that spawn structures for us to explore. OG players have been missing the feeling of exploration for years now. I want to go in for once and find stuff I never seen in the game.

[@capinfer777]

Is there any type of mod that is like terraforged but for 1.20.1?

[@Tegan_The_Nobody]

Wish you would have given the seed for that badlands in your thumbnail!

[@lessiceyy]

This mod with ambientsounds mod are the best

[@albinopea7433]

Can this mods used in all the mods 9 modpack? Is this generate some issues?

[@melonnotfound7061]

how much render distance are you using?

[@Snipe13051]

Well thanks for the overview.. sadly some of the great mods are only available for specific versions: I got a question... TerraForged (Forge) (1.15.2 - 1.18.2) you said 1.18.2 but it's downloadable only for 1.16.5 (alpha version of 1.18.2 don't have world settings in it) William Wythers' Overhauled Overworld (Forge & Fabric) it's 1.20.1 and above So where to get those for 1.18.2?

[@matteoposi9583]

what do you think about lithosphere?

[@notafurry4463]

all of them are nice, how am i gonna choose

[@disguisedpaper9276]

What shadedrs do you use?

[@DARKAURA999.]

will any of these interupt structure generation mods?

[@alonb_zombie6836]

can you do a showcase for the untamed wilds mod?
