Baobab Savanna

Baobab Savanna is a hot, dry overworld biome added by Regions Unexplored. It is a rare variant of the Savanna that takes over the driest part of the vanilla savanna climate. Its open ground and baobab trees give long sight lines, but the biome has a dense monster spawn table, so the open terrain offers little cover at night.

Description

The biome is sparse and dry. The ground is covered in savanna grass with a yellow-green tint (grass colour #b8ba55, foliage colour #9aba55). Water is blue (#3f76e4), the fog is pale blue (#c0d8ff) and the sky is a clear blue (#6eb1ff). The biome has no precipitation, so no rain or snow falls there.

Trees are the biome's main feature. Groups of baobab trees from the mod's baobab wood set stand among low shrubs and grass sprouts.

Generation

Baobab Savanna replaces the vanilla Savanna and savanna plateau biomes where humidity is below -0.35. Its temperature is 2 (hot) and its downfall is 0.35. In Fear Nightfall it covers 0.12% of surface land, so it is very rare. Its cave share at y=-30 is 0.02%.

The biome is not one of the pack's 6× horror-weighted biomes. It does carry the vanilla stronghold_biased_to tag, which makes strongholds more likely to be placed under it than under most other biomes. The pack also places horror structures about 30% closer together than vanilla, which applies to the horror structures that generate here.

Features

• Trees and plants: baobab trees, shrubs and grass sprouts, each placed in a biome-specific group. Pumpkin and sugar cane patches from vanilla also generate here.
• Ores: the vanilla overworld ore set (coal, copper, iron, gold, redstone, lapis, diamond, and the andesite, diorite, granite, tuff, gravel and dirt veins). The biome also gets ore features from Born in Chaos (infected diamond ore and black argillite), Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks (mithril ore) and Butchery (sulfur ore).
• Special blocks: cave urns and wild flax from Supplementaries, which also adds road signs along roads in the biome. Farmer's Delight adds wild tomato patches. Stonycliffs adds cliff features.

Mobs and structures

Spider, Skeleton, Creeper and Slime each have a monster spawn weight of 100, Husk 80 and Slime Golem 25. The pack's horror monsters follow, including the Dread Hound, Krampus and Mr. and Mrs. Pumpkin from Born in Chaos, the Necromancer from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks and the Nightmare. Creature spawns are armadillos, wolves and rabbits, plus bats.

Structures include the Clown Caravan, illager hideouts, the Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks catacombs and evoker fort, and Overhauled Villages savanna villages. The full list is in the table below.

Tips

• Cross the biome in daylight where possible. Monster weights are high at night and the open ground gives little cover.
• Carry light sources and a ranged weapon. Spiders, Skeletons and Creepers are among the most common monsters, and the open terrain lets skeletons attack from a distance.
• Strongholds are more likely to appear under this biome, so it is a good place to search for them. Expect horror structures on the way.
