About this Mod
Note: this datapack is still heavily in development.
This Datapack adds a new Dimension, the Lightwoods!
To Enter, you need to input the command "/execute in lightwoods:lightwoods run tp @s ~ ~ ~"
As of now, Lightwoods has about 10-ish biomes, and not much else
-Paddock Meadow: Probably the least busy biome as of yet. has alot of flowers and the occasional tree, which could be cherry or oak.
-Hushed Forest: Woah, a forest biome? in a dimension called lightwoods?! i cannot believe it!! contains lotsa trees, shrubbery, mushrooms, and hanging lanterns
-Frosty Copse: Ice Variant of the hushed forest. the mushrooms are iced, the trees have hanging icicles, and there's now large ice spikes
-Growth Woodland: I'd like to say that it's the old growth variant of hushed forest. it features, much larger trees and mushrooms. the hanging lanterns are now lampposts, and the shrubs are now their own small trees.
-Spooky Stand: Halloween-like variant of the Growth Woodland. instead of small trees, there's comically large pumpkins. the lampposts are now pumpkinposts, and the mushrooms are now pumpkinshrooms
-Muskeg Marshland: Generic swamp biome. contains alot of water, mud, dripleaves, and trees on mangrove roots. oh, and lush stuff
-Slopes: generic slopes biome. looks somewhat noisy on the surface, and has the occasional ice-tree, and large paths of blue ice
-Peaks: generic peaks biome. it's a lot of blue ice under a thick layer of snow.
-Cavern: basically just a biome to tell you that you've reached the underground. replaces water and lava with solid blocks, and changes some atmospheric stuff. oh yeah, and the caves in this dimension are HUGE
-Thicket: essentially a thin biome filled with a very dense thicket of very tall trees. almost feels like a wall
