Custom Biomes

SkyMata's world generation includes custom biomes that change terrain, foliage, colors, atmosphere, and the kinds of landscapes you can build in or explore.

Custom biomes can differ from vanilla biomes in terrain shape, vegetation, colors, structures, and ambience. Because the world generator can be updated between seasons, explore the current Survival world to see which biomes are present in the active map.

Foliage Fortress

Giant plateau with sharp overhangs surrounding it. These overhangs are supported by large stone pillars. A savanna-like environment is found at and around the bottom of the plateau, while the top is covered with all sorts of trees.

Gloomy Gorge

High mountains, with deep valleys and dark, eroded cliffs running through them. The mountainsides are glowing in the dark, and the whole environment is surrounded by all kinds of lush vegetation.

Snowy Spires

A snowy mesa biome, with giant terracotta pillars. The sandy ground is mostly covered in snow. The pillars are partialy frozen, with large ice chunks often connecting them, and icicles hanging from them.

Black Forest

Inspired by the german black forest, this mountainy biome has is covered in spruce and birch trees. Includes flat clearings spread throughout the forest. Some of those clearings have a small chance of turning into a mountain lake.

Carving Creaks

An environment made of very high terracotta plateous, with large canyons and rivers cutting through it. The edges also have a slight terrace visible.

Fossilized Fenlands

The dinosaur biome. Mostly flat with some segmented elevations. Can spawn dinosaur fossils, which usually have multiple "rib" segments and a chance to include a giant head on the front.

Arid Arboretum

Badlands biome that has been overtaken by an evergreen forest. The arid ground is a mix of grass and sand, with granite patches and giant terracotta pillars, covered in vegetation.

Bamboo Basins

This biome usually has features a central mountain without any steep cliffs. Multiple rivers flow out from the lakes at the mountain top, and the surfance is covered with eucalyptus trees and bamboo. The ground has both grass and podzol.

Frosty Fingers

Cold environment, with weaving snow and ice dunes. Also includes large snow spikes in the valleys between the snow dunes.

Mountain Mirrors

The mountain mirrors consist of huge mountains, with multiple terrace layers and steep walls inbetween them. The walls are covered with ice and can result in a mirror-like appearance. Between mountains there often appear frozen lakes. Also has frozen rivers that go through the higher parts of mountains using frozen cave rivers. On the flatter parts of the terrain there can spawn snow-covered trees and ice spikes.

Canopy Cascades

Jungle version of the mountain mirrors. Features huge mountains with terraces along it. Usually covered with large jungle trees and a few lush lakes at the bottom.

Badland Balconies

Terracotta-covered mountains, with flat areas in between, and some terraces along the mountain ridges. Allows for a thin layer of oak trees in the mountains.
