Overview The RUBiomes interface provides resource keys for all biomes added by Regions Unexplored. Biomes are registered as data-driven content and referenced through ResourceKey<Biome> instances.
Biome categories Forest biomes Deciduous forest Temperate forest with varied tree types
Autumnal maple forest Forest featuring colorful maple trees
Maple forest Dense maple tree coverage
Silver birch forest Birch variant with silver-toned leaves

Villager type mapping The init() method maps biomes to villager types, determining villager appearance in each biome:
static void init () { // Forest biomes use plains villagers putVillagerBiome (AUTUMNAL_MAPLE_FOREST, VillagerType . PLAINS ); putVillagerBiome (MAGNOLIA_WOODLAND, VillagerType . PLAINS ); putVillagerBiome (DECIDUOUS_FOREST, VillagerType . PLAINS ); // Taiga biomes use taiga villagers putVillagerBiome (BLACKWOOD_TAIGA, VillagerType . TAIGA ); putVillagerBiome (BOREAL_TAIGA, VillagerType . TAIGA ); // Desert biomes use desert villagers putVillagerBiome (JOSHUA_DESERT, VillagerType . DESERT ); // ... }
Villager type reference Used for temperate forest, plains, and grassland biomes
Used for cold forest and mountain biomes
Used for hot, arid desert biomes
Used for savanna and dry bushland biomes
Used for rainforest and tropical biomes
Used for bayou, fen, and marsh biomes
Used for frozen and icy biomes
Usage examples Checking current biome
Biome-specific features
Custom villager spawning
// In a world context Biome currentBiome = level . getBiome (pos). value (); ResourceKey < Biome > biomeKey = level . getBiome (pos). unwrapKey (). orElse ( null ); if (biomeKey == RUBiomes . ALPHA_GROVE ) { // Special logic for Alpha Grove }
Helper methods key
private static ResourceKey<Biome>
Creates a biome resource key with the mod namespace The biome name (without namespace)
private static ResourceKey < Biome > key ( String name) { return RegionsUnexplored . key ( Registries . BIOME , name); }
Associates a biome with a villager type key
ResourceKey<Biome>
required
The biome to configure
The villager type for this biome
All biome resource keys are public constants that can be referenced directly from the RUBiomes interface.
