CliffThree (CliffTree 3.0)

This update has been a long time coming! With this new major version, comes several key changes!

New add-on: ButterBee

The first major addition isn't technically part of the base CliffTree experience, but it is something I have been working hard on: Butterflies and Bees, or ButterBee for short!

ButterBee spices up CliffTree's ecosystems by adding new biome-dependant variants for chickens, cows, pigs, wolves, and even one new frog! This add-on will hopefully make exploration feel fresh, as you might discover new faces along your journey!

Oceans: Decorations & New Biome

While CliffTree has always had deeper oceans, not much has been done to make it feel different beyond that. With CliffThree, I attempt to address the general emptiness of oceans with some new additions:

• New ocean biome, the Kelp Forest! With greenish water and sprawling with tall kelp, this biome can often be found bordering swamps.

• Oceans now have several new decorations:

  • Rock formations and clusters can be found in most oceans
  • Sometimes, the rocks come in the form of scenic stone arches of various sizes
  • Additionally, deeper oceans can have tall stone spires and plateaus
  • Underwater bone formations can now be found. Very rarely, you can even find the skeletal remains of a large aquatic creature!
  • Ocean ravines are larger, more common, and generate with magma, reminiscent of the ones present in older versions of the game

• Several ocean biomes have been given exclusive decoration:

  • Lukewarm oceans are now covered in vast spreads of tall seagrass
  • Frozen oceans generate with clumps of basalt and magma
  • Warm oceans have new additional coral crust formations, which can come in dense clusters, similar to ones found in Bedrock Edition. Small coral growths are now also color-coordinated with the coral block they are attached to.

Those are the major additions of CliffThree! Minor changes have also been done, such as:

• Fixed kelp not generating in some ocean biomes
• Altered the mob distribution of some biomes to accomodate for ButterBee
• Minor tweaks to some water colors to blend better between biomes
• Hopefully fixed a crash caused by tundra rocks

I hope you enjoy exploring CliffThree!

• Fixed issue where most caves above y=0 are flooded starting with 1.21.9

This is a hotfix, but the true next update for CliffTree is just around the corner!

• Added support for 1.21.9 Snapshots (Fall Drop 2025)
• Reduced frequency of additional coal ore in Lush Caves
• Added Russian translation (provided by @clarthen)
• Fixed typo in English (US) advancement translation
• Fixed typos in Mexican Spanish translation
  • Note that there are currently untranslated advancements in this language, contribution is welcome

• Added Polish translation (provided by @jogurciQ)
• Glacier Valleys now have packed ice on steep surfaces
• Fixed a surface rule bug
• Significantly reduced iron ore rates in Inferno caves (it's now around twice the regular amount instead of like, 5 times?)
• Bumped to support 1.21.8

• Supports 1.21.5 to 1.21.7
• Fixed feature order cycle error

Updated pack format to 1.21.6. No other changes :)

Tectonic 3.0 native compatibility

• CliffTree now has native compatibility with Tectonic 3.0 if you're using their respective mod versions!

CliffTree Large Biomes & Amplified Enabler

• Starting with this version, Large Biomes and AMPLIFIED world types can now be enabled with 2 add-on datapacks, CliffTree Horizons and CliffTree Spires respectively.

Other Changes

• Regular hostile mobs can now spawn in Stone Oceans, allowing mob farms built on top of it to work
• Slightly increased how common Striped Wolves are in Wooded and Coniferous Badlands
• Glacier Valleys are now a mix of Snow Blocks and 1 block deep Powder Snow to ease traversal issues. Further tweaks for this biome are planned in the future
• Various CliffTree biomes now make use of common tags found in modloaders with hopes of improving compatibility

CliffTree 2.1.1

Minor update with slight tweaks and an incompatibility fix!

• Updated feature order cycles to match changes in vanilla 1.21.5, this should prevent crashes with worldgen mods if they are compatible

• Removed snowflake particles from all biomes except Frozen Caves

  • This decision was made for the sake of immersion, as snowflake particles were able to spawn where it wouldn't logically snow such as indoors or underwater
  • They are kept for Frozen Caves as they fit the biome's vision as a frosted cavern covered in ice dust

• Glacier Valleys are now grouped with Snowy Slopes for the "Adventuring Time" advancement, only discovering one of either is required

  • CliffTree already handles many biomes in groups for the sake of this advancement
  • A rework of Glacier Valleys might be planned for the future to make it more engaging
