    Welcome to William Wythers' Overhauled Overworld for 1.20+!

    In Overhauled Overworld I have always sought to re-create the vanilla overworld in a way that makes a more realistic and atmospheric world. In this latest update I have returned to the original spirit of the pack, only modifying the vanilla biomes. (This allows compatibility with other popular datapacks like Terralith and Tectonic). Vanilla biomes have been modified to create a cohesive world for exploration, blending together to create many unique transitions.

    For better rivers and beaches, use Navigable Rivers and Cliffs and Coves.
    For a forbidding and mysterious area of adventure, try out the Towering Tepuis.
    For saguaro cacti in the badlands, bulrushes in the savanna mangrove swamp, and better looking bamboo, use Better Cacti+

    (Special thanks to mc_da for the cold spruce trees, old growth taiga trees and mega jungle trees)

    After all these years, you're still here, and bless you for that. I've come back to minecraft, and you still are making my world a joy. Don't think you don't make a difference, you do. :) What are we for, if not to spread joy. Thank you!!

    ... I have zero complaints, but if I had to nitpick, I would love it if you upload your add-ons to modrinth, just love the datapack conversion they have there, and auto downloads to mod-managers.

    Just realized they were in the datapack section. /facepalm

    Which overlay folders should be deleted to create more space in the data packs: 1.20.5, 1.21, 24w33a, 24w40a, or 24w44a, or should I not delete any of them?

    Hi! I absolutely WWOO it is by FAR the best biome gen pack out there!! I'm so sorry if this is a stupid question as I'm not very experienced but is there any way to disable certain biomes from being overhauled? For example, can I disable the flower forest overhaul so I could get a vanilla one instead. Thank you so much for creating this incredible data pack!!!

    Thanks.
    Yes it is very easy. Just delete the flower_forest.json file from data/minecraft/worldgen/biome
