Traverse aims to expand upon, but not replace or overshadow, Minecraft biomes. Traverse embraces the simplistic nature of many vanilla biomes and the goal is to have the biomes fit in just right so that Mojang could add them into the base game and nobody would complain that they felt out of place.

Traverse requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API

Biomes:

Images of the biomes can be found on the Images page.

 

Other Mods by Terraformers:

Check out Traverse's sister mod, Terrestria:

Terrestria works well alongside Traverse if you are looking for a more extensive biome enhancement experience. Terrestria has a lot of highly unique and detailed biomes that may exceed the "Vanilla+" category that Traverse fits into.

Check out the Terraformers Nether biome expansion, Cinderscapes:

Cinderscapes complements Traverse by providing an expansion to the nether, much like Traverse does to the overworld. Cinderscapes brings more life and beauty to the nether, while also keeping it frightening. 

Campanion, your camping companion:

Campanion adds various tools and utilities to help improve your adventures away from your home. Campanion also works well alongside Traverse in order to make the exploration of Traverse biomes even more fun.

 

Traverse is a mod for Fabric, and there are no plans to port this mod to Forge.

However, another team is maintaining a Forge fork of this mod at Traverse: Legacy Continued.

Traverse: Legacy Continued is unaffiliated with Terraformers, so please do not ask us for support regarding their mod.
