Biome Imports

oh, and Super is a bit shy, so he posted this via PM rather than on here... but he'd love for me to import a Canyon biome from Biomes O' Plenty.  Interestingly-enough, I had in mind importing this biome at some point, but thanks to him now I feel compelled to expedite the request.  

Aaaaaaand... canyon added.

Ah, I liked the bog and quagmire but the lack of those mud blocks make it impractical.

Hey Mino-kun. If you head over to the Dead Swamp near Yama Machi, you may see that i substituted mud blocks with brown stained clay. If you think that is a fair substitute (or I can also try soul sand), let me know so I can consider importing one of those biomes as well.

I also like Timber biomes too, so I think they'd make a great pair. ^^

How about a Dark Oak Forest from Post 1.7, they blend well in my opinion, and we could put a sacred meadow or something fantasy themed or village inside. I think it would be cool.

Oh, the 1.7 biomes with the big thick trees?

Okay, I can queue it up. ^^

Thanks Cia, it would be cool to see one of those in our world.

Hey Cia, I know your busy but could you please import more things like the pirate ships from the aquilibrius. I love a good adventure and I'm sure I am not the only one, could you put some more dungeons and places to explore around the world. If you want more specific ideas I can search. I would love more dungeons and caverns to explore. The adventurer in me needs to feed his craving once in a while.

Aye aye, it's on my impossibly-long todo list... XD

It's getting a bit harder to do these biome imports since the server has become a bit too popular, and it's very rare for it to be completely empty during the evenings.  Worse comes to worse, I may have to kick some of you out temporarily as I'm loading batches of worlds or dungeons together.  Also bear in mind some of the Better Dungeon dungeons also need some fixing up, as they rely on mechanisms and spawners that won't exist at all in vanilla Minecraft. ^^;

[maybe if I used the Ruins mod instead...]

Thanks for taking the time to think about it and put it on your list, as I said in other topic given equipment I could create some, but I would love to see some more explorable structures. Thanks Cia.

Hey all, necroposting here to revive biome import ideas, since now I have the all-clear to do more of these. There's so many possible things that could be added to our server, that I'd love to start adding a new queue to work with. ^^

Redwood Forest added!!

(But my gawd, can MCEdit be annoying sometimes.... XD

there's a mod called kingdom mod there's this structure that u get generated next to your spawn

it is completly OUT of vanilla blocks so you don't Need to worry about it ^^

Oh, Spookie once suggested something like that a long time ago, I wonder if it's the same thing. Would love to have these to populate little random towns and forts across the land. ^^

Garden Biome succesfully imported this evening. It's a bit rough in some areas (do to the grass), but otherwise it's mildly pretty. ^^

Oh, could I make a request for an outback biome to be next?

That and or an Oasis and a Steppe. For those Mongolian adventures.

Woohoo! ! Queued!!! ^_^

Heya,

  I thought that maybe to help spice things up a little I could give some biome ideas/requests. The first 4 are from Extra Biomes XL, but since I'm not sure how and if you can change blocks to different blocks I chose 4 I think would be pretty cool that shouldn't require any new blocks (I really like the marsh to be honest). The last one is one from vanilla that I just thought kinda looked cool and might be nice to have. If you can't do any of these don't worry and if 5 are too much I would much prefer the Marsh and Mountain Ridge. I hope if possible to see these new biomes soon. Thanks, Ice.

-Marsh
-Mountain Ridge
-Glacier
-Ice Wasteland

Lol, the last one leaves me saying "wuh"? XD

Still, the ExtrabiomesXL biomes are certainly possible to import, although given the work it takes and the limited amount of space we have inside the Ark region, we'll want the imports to be a bit.... exceptional. The Ice Wasteland is horrifically boring, and i think Biomes O Plenty glaciers are handled a little better (but i could be remembering wrong).

The Marsh is an easy harmless import, however, with no real equivalent in BOP, so yeah i'd work with that.

Also the mountain ridge, although again it's possible that we'll import the BOP equivalents instead (Minoriko's outback idea is close, i think).

To that I'll also suggest the Rainforest (which looks cool ^^) and the Redwood forest (which ive always liked, although the BOP ones are better).

I wasn't sure what could be imported so I kinda stuck to ones that work with vanilla. I can get some more biomes, maybe even some crazyier and cooler ones if you have time. For the marsh biome, I can offer a big chunk of the swampland north of Pumpkin Grove if you don't have any other places you want the marsh. So tell me if you need more import ideas.

Okay, that looks like a good spot, and yeab dont worry about craziness. I use WorldEdit and MCEdit to turn these things into vanilla-compatible imports... just ask Lom about the Redwood Forest he's living in. ^^

The only limiting factors really are size and shape. ^^

Wow ok sounds great, I will definitely find some more biomes that could be imported in the near future. Thanks Cia.

Okay, Oasis [mini-]biome added!! I'm not saying where it is, I'll let players try to find it as a kind of easter egg. ^^

Oh, and yesterday's Garden Biome was too boring, so Coco and I added something cool from Natura to make it more tourist-friendly and 8x-relevant. Let's just say it's a distant relative of the World Tree. XD

Cia I would love to see a Bamboo forest on the server, but I'm not sure if you are able to adjust the height of sugar can if you changed the bamboo to sugar cane. Just an idea if it works.

Icy Hills look amazing too. That would be cool.https://imgur.com/a/oq22r
