About this project
What does Cliff under a Branch (Cliffbranch) add?
Cliff under a Branch
Cliff under a Branch or CliffBranch, is a worldgen datapack that improves on the vanilla overworld by adding new biomes and bringing several changes to all parts of the generation, all while trying to keep to the spirit of vanilla minecraft 
Features
New biomes
From the vast Tundras to the cozy Oasis. CliffBranch introduces new biomes to discover with new sights to behold, across all temperature ranges and all terrain types 
Improves the vanilla biomes
The vanilla biomes got a glow up, with revamp takes on them, and improved biome distribution. Biomes like Savanna Plateau with terracotta, the pale garden generating at more terrain heights, and the Mushroom Fields with elevated terrain and mud. 
New rivers, improved water and fog colors, and deeper oceans
This pack alters almost all biomes water and fog colors to better match with the direction of newer biomes and match closer to bedrock edition, it also features new river types for the different temperatures to accomodate this changes, as well as deeper oceans that reach deepslate or even further in trenches with magma and basalt 
Major changes to caves
CliffBranch implements drastic changes to caves, block light changes color in many of the biomes, there's more fog in them, and now surface biomes will no longer extend deep into the underground thanks to the addition of generic cave biomes all based on temperature, it also doubles the amount of spaghetti caves to make cave exploration last longer 
Other gameplay effects
A couple of gameplay related changes come with the changes made by the datapack, this includes changes to the rate of specific mobs in certain biomes, saplings growing to the shapes you will see around the world, or the night getting darker based on the moon cycle 
If you like what you see please consider supporting me on Ko-Fi, I highly appreciated all of this takes a lot of time 
This datapack is a development fork from CliffTree created by Konci and Walls(me) which has been massively modified, ship of Theseus style, for over a year
