IMPORTANT: a 1.20.1 Port for the mod is in the works!

the first halloween update of 2024 is here!

Biomes of the ancients (BOTA for short) is a minecraft mod aiming to add a myriad of new content, making your minecraft experience fresh and new. From items to weapons, biomes to dimensions, mobs to bosses, it adds all of it.

Listing every single thing this mod adds (and what is planned) is difficult, so i'll just list the most important things instead.

Biomes: Biomes of the ancients adds many biomes, including the Brilliant and bright Elder forest, to the soothing and whimsical dreamscapes, the festering fields of rotland, the simple and subtle dunes of black beaches, the clouded beauty that is the Mistral spinney, and so many more. Only a few of these biomes are truly important for progression. This mod has around 150 biomes as of writing this.

Bosses: At the moment bosses are a very WIP feature, but in the future we plan on adding many bosses that have different difficulties, drops, and attacks. After defeating a handful of bosses in the overworld, you can travel to unique and mysterious dimensions.

Known Issues: there are a few known bugs and issues that are known in the mod and we are in the process of fixing them, here's just a rundown.

  1. some biomes have ambient themes. if you die, usually they will loop if that happens. if you run into this, go to the minecraft sound settings and turn ambient noise off and back on.
  2. most biomes have trees that seemingly float. we are also in the process of making a procedure that will make this issue no longer happen.
  3. mod incompatabilites. as far as we know, only one mod has issues with biomes of the ancients. the Overworld Mirror mod will not generate BOTA's structures in the mirror dimension.
