Origen features 35+ unique land biomes, each with distinctive terrain generation and visual characteristics. These biomes make up the majority of the overworld surface.

Major Land Biomes

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.
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.
A snowy mesa biome, with giant terracotta pillars. The sandy ground is mostly covered in snow. The pillars are partially frozen, with large ice chunks often connecting them, and icicles hanging from them.
Inspired by the german black forest, this mountainous biome 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.
An environment made of very high terracotta plateaus, with large canyons and rivers cutting through it. The edges also have a slight terrace visible.
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.
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.
This biome usually features a central mountain without any steep cliffs. Multiple rivers flow out from the lakes at the mountain top, and the surface is covered with eucalyptus trees and bamboo. The ground has both grass and podzol.
Cold environment, with weaving snow and ice dunes. Also includes large snow spikes in the valleys between the snow dunes.
The mountain mirrors consist of huge mountains, with multiple terrace layers and steep walls in between 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.
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.
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.
A lush jungle environment, with massive eye-catching stone arches looping through the skies.
Large canyon biome that can carve through any land biome. Very deep, with terracotta walls and sand with vegetation at the bottom.
Covered by giant terracotta pillars, the mesa monuments biome is a warm badlands / desert mix. The main feature are the big terracotta pillars in it, which can reach up to 100 blocks into the sky.
Forested badlands biome, with large, overhanging terracotta boulders. The boulders are covered in leaf vines, and there are sparse tree patches on the floor.
Identified by white trenches dug through eroded mountains, the white wallows are home to giant azalea trees. The mountains also house white flowers and deep valleys.
A deep, frozen trench carving through any other cold biome. Covered in webs of snow, with a few snow-covered trees at the bottom.
Imagine a unique and exotic rendition of the familiar vanilla swamp. This variant is blanketed by imposing, shadowy trees that exude a mysterious aura. The ground seamlessly blends the realms of water and land, creating a captivating environment. On the land, the terrain showcases a series of interconnected, level expanses that intertwine, each marked by sharp transitions in elevation.
Split into a high border segment and a low inner segment, the pillow plains is marked by its small pillars through a green valley. Due to the low height of the inner segment, there are no rivers in this biome, though this will be changed in the future by adding a special low river variant.
Sloped biome, with giant cliffs on the sides. Covered in abundant vegetation, some of it with red leaves. The trees in this terrain can grow much larger than usual, and the floor is filled with grass and more vegetation.
Savanna-like biome, but partially covered in water, with small paths leading through the water. Covered in acacia trees and a lot of grass, with small and flat hills.
These mountains are covered by giant redwood trees. Similar to the black forests, they also feature flat clearings and lakes in between their forest-covered mountains.
Cold lowlands biome, covered in lakes and small hills. Frozen paths are woven through the lakes. Snow-covered trees are scattered across the landscape.
Frozen mushroom biome. The terrain itself is slightly tilted, with huge cliffs on one side. There are small and large mushrooms growing, along with some trees. The ground is covered in snow, mycelium and podzol.
Micro-biome, usually found in the middle of desert biomes. Identified by a small lake in the sand dunes, with palm trees and grass surrounding it.
At first glance, the secluded valley is just a large and flat sunflower field. However, there are also huge valleys with a small entrance hidden spread throughout this biome. The valleys contain cherry trees and have a small chance to spawn a giant cherry tree in the middle.
Giant mountain, with a lake at the top and multiple rivers flowing down the mountainside. Covered with sakura trees and large leaf vines. Has a small chance to spawn giant sakura trees.
Barren, rocky mountain, made out of stone plates. Small trenches are running through the tilted stone plates.
The verdant valley is a mostly flat valley with sparse acacia trees. The valley is surrounded by smaller hills which usually have small steep patches with a darker surface.
Huge, towering green mountains. They often are high enough that their peak is covered in snow. At the bottom of these mountains, there is also often a small lake. Few trees and boulders can be found on the surface.
More biomes are planned and will be added in future updates.
