Random Biomes
This datapack adds some biomes and maybe achievements and others, but mostly focused on biomes.
About this Mod
"Random Biomes" is a Minecraft datapack designed to shake up your world with a variety of new biomes. While its primary focus is on adding diverse biomes, you might also stumble upon a few quirky surprises along the way.
Now, a fair warning: I'm still learning the art of biome design, so some of these biomes might not win any beauty contests! But hey, that just adds to the charm, right? If you're looking for a fun and adventurous twist on your Minecraft journey, "Random Biomes" is here to deliver an unpredictable and unique experience.
Important Note: Updates may be infrequent, so enjoy what's here for now!
This project is sadly discontinued indefinitely due to me losing all of the files.

Random Biomes server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Random Biomes compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
Random Biomes officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Random Biomes – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Random Biomes consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
