How many biomes does Novam Terram add?

Novam Terram adds over 90 biomes to Minecraft 1.12.2. They span four temperature types: Warm, Cool, Icy, and Desert.

Does ore generation actually change between biomes?

Yes. Certain ores generate in larger amounts depending on the biome type. It's not a massive overhaul but it does make biome choice relevant when you're deciding where to mine.

Does Novam Terram work alongside other biome mods like Biomes O' Plenty?

It can, but stacking biome mods sometimes causes conflicts or weird world gen results. Test on a fresh world first before committing to a long-term save.

Will the new biomes generate in an existing world?

Only in newly generated chunks. Any chunks your world already loaded before installing the mod won't change, but unexplored areas will start generating the new biomes.

Do I need anything besides Minecraft Forge to run this mod?

Nope. Just Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2. Drop the jar in your mods folder and you're good to go.

Novam Terram Mod 1.12.2 - 90+ New Biomes for Minecraft

Novam Terram adds over 90 new biomes to Minecraft 1.12.2. It’s inspired by The Highlands mod, and one thing that sets it apart from similar mods: ore generation varies by biome type, so where you settle and mine actually matters.

What It Adds

The mod completely shakes up world generation with a huge range of new biomes across four temperature categories: Warm, Cool, Icy, and Desert. You’ll run into alpine peaks, blossom forests, boggy swamps, clay flatlands, cold deserts, and a lot more. The variety is legit good and it holds up well for exploration playthroughs.

Biome-Based Ore Generation

This is the most interesting part. Certain ores generate in higher quantities depending on the biome type you’re in. It’s a small change but it adds a real reason to actually care about where you build your base, instead of just dropping down wherever looks nice.
