Biomes

Overworld

Biomes in the overworld are mostly technical, and serve little purpose other than interfacing with vanilla mechanics which require biomes.

  • For example, structure generation is tied to biomes.
  • Feature placement on the other hand is normally tied to biomes in vanilla, but this is not the case in Big Globe.

Nevertheless, the full list of overworld biomes is:

  • Beach
  • Cherry Forest
  • Cherry Plains
  • Cold Dense Forest
  • Cold Light Forest
  • Cold Plains
  • Cold Wasteland
  • Deep Dark
    • Spawns deep underground, below where caves can take you.
    • Be prepared to dig a lot to find it.
  • Deep Ocean
  • Glacier
  • Ocean
  • Overgrown Beach
  • River
  • Shallow Ocean
  • Swamp Forest
  • Swamp Plains
  • Swamp Wasteland
  • Temperate Dense Forest
  • Temperate Light Forest
  • Temperate Plains
  • Temperate Wasteland
  • The Core
    • Spawns even deeper underground, below the deep dark.
    • Full of molten rock.

Nether

  • Ashen Wastes
    • Full of charred trees.
    • Wither skeletons can spawn here.
  • Crimson Forest
  • Inferno
    • Basically the basalt deltas, but with a cooler name.
    • Blazes can spawn here.
  • Nether Wastes
  • Valley of Souls
    • AKA soul sand valley, but once again, I like cool names.
    • Wither skeletons can spawn here.
  • Warped Forest
  • Pale Garden
    • Yes, this is a nether biome in Big Globe, not an overworld biome.

End

  • Chorus Forest
  • End Barrens
  • End Mountain
  • End Plains
  • Overgrown End
  • The Void

Structures

In addition to all the vanilla structures, the following structures also spawn in Big Globe worlds:

Overworld

  • Mega Dungeons: Very large dungeon structures full of many spawners and lots of loot.
  • Geodes: Very large pockets of air surrounded by crystals.
    • Come in amethyst and prismarine variants.

      • You won't find it by digging down in the center.
      • Contains loot.
  • Campfire: Small decorative structure.
    • Usually has logs around it to act as benches.

    • If you get lost in one, try to find any corridor that goes upwards. Up always takes you out.
  • Well: Decorational, usually has water inside.
  • Windmill: Has a villager inside.

Nether

  • Quartz Geode: Very large pockets of air surrounded by rough and budding quartz.
  • Nether Pillars: Connect distant areas in the nether.
    • Depending on how they spawn, they can sometimes be useful as bridges across the nether terrain.

    • No tent though.

      • Well: Contains a block of lava surrounded on all sides by other blocks.
      • Farm: Source of nether wart and either glowstone or shroomlights.
      • Table: Can have some other useful blocks on top.
      • Furnace: A fire surrounded by nether brick.

        • 50% chance of having a chimney.
      • Spawner: It's a blaze spawner.

      • Skips on water.

Mechanics

Hyperspace

  • A new dimension that serves as a fast travel mechanic.
  • Travel to hyperspace by placing a waypoint and walking into it.
  • Inside hyperspace you can see every private waypoint you've placed so far, and every public waypoint placed by anyone else on a multiplayer server.
  • Hyperspace has no blocks in it, so you are forced to fly constantly.
    • Fly into a waypoint to travel out of hyperspace.
    • If you find a way to continue flying when you exit hyperspace, please report that as a bug.
  • Distance in hyperspace is non-linear.
    • The distance between waypoints in hyperspace is the square root of the distance between those waypoints outside of hyperspace.
    • This means that if you have 2 waypoints 100 blocks apart from each other in the overworld, they'll only be 10 blocks apart in hyperspace.
  • Hyperspace (and waypoints in general) look cooler when Satin is installed.
  • Hyperspace can be disabled in Big Globe's config file if you find it overpowered.
