Geophilic: Ready for Spring to Life

Geophilic is a data pack/mod that improves vanilla Overworld biomes in a subtle and simple way! My inspiration comes from scrapped illustrations for what was supposed to be the Wild Update — this is essentially a collection of relatively light improvements to vanilla biomes without any new blocks, items, or even biomes.

Geophilic adds variety to a host of biomes. You can find a plethora of new features, from simple fallen trees to forest clearings. There are boulders, tree stumps, bushes, moss, and more. Trees remain true to vanilla, with the one major change being how tall trees generate, so you don't bump your head so often!

Care was taken to keep vanilla gameplay progression and feel. Geophilic does not make use of block palettes that would not be found in vanilla, nor does it add wood types to biomes they wouldn't be found in otherwise. It doesn't add new biomes either.

In short, this isn't meant to be an epic worldgen overhaul, but rather a simplistic and nice update to the feel of vanilla biomes.

By the way, if you want to, you can now come chat about Geophilic on my new Discord server!


This pack modifies only vanilla biome files, which means it's fully compatible with mods and data packs that do terrain, such as Tectonic or Lithosphere!

If a data pack says it reworks vanilla biomes, it is likely partially or fully incompatible. An exception to that is Terralith: see Terraphilic.
