Addon: Wild Expansion (Vanilla Biome)

1 731

Wild expansion aims to bring a vanilla style to four of Minecraft's most unique biomes, the arid desert, dangerous badlands, vast savanna's and of course the birch forest too!

Created By Alylica

The Desert :

The original teaser for a desert update included Palm Trees & Meerkats but I wanted to step it up a little, the updated desert biome also includes Rattlesnakes as-well as some new ground decor

Palm Trees :

Meerkats :

Rattlesnakes :

These may be hard to spot as they camouflage with their surrounding area! The rattlesnake spawns rarely in deserts and is actually quite dangerous, they will inflict a lethal poison on you if you attack them first, they also shed scales, these can be used for building blocks or to make a unique chest plate, said chest plate grants you immunity to poison effects

The Savanna :

The original teaser for a savanna update included Baobab Trees, Termites & Ostriches but via use of interpretation, the updated savanna biome also includes A Baobab Forest Sub-Biome

Baobab Trees :

These large trees require four saplings to grow! They are made of baobab wood (duh) which has a nice rosy colour on the inside, due to the large size of these trees they are not too common, unless you stumble across a baobab forest of course!

Termite Nests :

Ostriches :

Badlands :

The original teaser for a badlands update included Tumbleweeds, Fancy Cacti & Vultures but taking inspiration from real mesas, the updated badlands biome also includes Fossil Digging

Tumbleweeds :

Prickly Pear Cacti :

It's not all for show! Spawning rarely in the badlands, this fancy cactus has a crucial use for survival, when broken without silk touch it will release some prickly pears, it's not the most filling but after being eaten your hunger may not decrease for a while

Vultures :

Avoid dying in the badlands, more then anywhere else atleast, if a vulture grabs your stuff it's not going to let go willingly!

Fossils :

When underground in the Badlands it's not just gold you will see! Between Y-50 to Y-8 you will find small fossil ores you can mine to collect fragments of a complete being, use these to rebuild the complete skeleton!

Birch Forests :

New Trees :

Birch Trees will grow even taller now, they also feature some nice branches, These changes can be observed in those that grow from saplings too! Trees found in the birch forest specifically will be covered in mounted fungi, a unique block that can be placed on the bark of trees

New Flowers :

The birch forest sees the introduction of new and old flowers

Many vanilla flowers now populate the forest floor and 4 new ones have appeared, the Blue Rose, Flower Patch, Snapdragon & Violet all now appear exclusively here, they can be used as dye like any other flower too
