Grassland

The Grassland is an overworld plains biome. Two mods add a biome under this name: Biomes O' Plenty and Regions Unexplored. Both are open grassland with short grass and scattered trees. In Fear Nightfall the biome is also one of the places where the pack's horror mobs and structures appear alongside ordinary farm animals, so a player walking through grassland at night should expect hostile spawns.

Description

The two Grassland biomes share a plains-style terrain and a bright, open look, but their colours and climate differ.

Biomes O' Plenty variant

The Biomes O' Plenty Grassland has a grass colour of #88c57f, a foliage colour of #6ab66f and a sky colour of #7aa5ff. Its water is #3f76e4 and its fog is #c0d8ff. Rain falls here.

Regions Unexplored variant

The Regions Unexplored Grassland is greener and warmer. Its grass colour is #a3c563 and its foliage colour is #92bf54. Its sky colour is #77a8ff, and the water and fog colours match the Biomes O' Plenty variant. Its surface uses the plains feature set plus added grass and flower patches (see Features below). Villagers in this biome take the plains profession type.

Generation

Grassland is a climate-based biome. The two variants are placed in different climates, so a player does not normally meet both in the same place.

• Biomes O' Plenty Grassland: temperature 0.6, downfall 0.7, with rain. It makes up 0.05% of the land surface and 0.00% of the cave layer at y = -30.
• Regions Unexplored Grassland: temperature 0.85, downfall 0.45, with rain. It makes up 0.25% of the land surface and 0.10% of the cave layer at y = -30.

Regions Unexplored splits the vanilla plains into three climate groups. Shrubland takes the cold end (temperature below -0.1), Clover Plains takes the middle band (-0.1 to 0.2), and Grassland takes everything warmer than 0.2. Its neighbours therefore depend on temperature: colder plains border the Shrubland and Clover Plains, and the Grassland sits on the warm side of that line.

In Fear Nightfall the pack's biome table lets each biome share its climate cell with other biomes by weight. Grassland is not one of the biomes given 6× weight, so it is an ordinary-frequency biome. The biome is also covered by the pack's horror structure changes described in Horror and Spooky Content: horror structures placed here are about 30% closer together than in the unmodified mods.

Features

• Trees: Regions Unexplored Grassland uses a tree group whose trees are small oak shrubs. The Biomes O' Plenty variant's trees are not covered here; see the biome in game.
• Plants and patches: Biomes O' Plenty Grassland adds grass patches, wild carrots, wild onions, wild rice, wild flax from Supplementaries, and cave urns. Regions Unexplored Grassland adds tulip patches, windswept grass patches, short grass patches, pumpkin patches, sugar cane, and wild carrots, onions and tomatoes from Farmer's Delight.
• Ores: Both variants generate the vanilla overworld ores: coal, copper, iron, gold, redstone, lapis lazuli and diamond, including the buried and large diamond veins. Both also carry ores and rock added by other mods, including the diamond ore variants added by Born in Chaos, black argillite, sulfur ore from Butchery, and mithril from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks.
• Terrain: Biomes O' Plenty Grassland also has cliff features from Stony Cliffs Are Cool.

Mobs and structures

The most common hostile mobs are Spider, Skeleton, Creeper, Slime and Zombie, each with a spawn weight of 95 to 100. Horror mobs such as Necromancer (weight 18), Decaying Zombie (15), Nightmare (7), Dread Hound (7) and Krampus (1) also spawn here, but at much lower weights. Born in Chaos spawn weights were halved in this pack, which keeps its mobs from crowding out vanilla monsters.

Passive animals are Sheep (weight 12), Pig (10), Chicken (10), Cow (8) and Horse (5). Bats and Glow Squid also spawn here. The water in both variants supports a range of fish, and the Biomes O' Plenty variant has the widest set.

Grassland holds many structures from both mods and from the pack's structure sets, including village-style sets, graveyards, castles, towers and campsites. Many of the horror structures sit inside this biome's table, so the table below is a good guide to what a player may find. Structure chests here use the pack's mapped loot tables, which keep the vanilla loot and add modded items on top.

Tips

• Carry light and a sword at night. The horror mob mix here is dense, and the Zombie, Skeleton, Creeper and Spider weights are high enough that they arrive in groups.
• The Biomes O' Plenty variant has the widest set of fish in the water spawn table.
• Check the structure table before building a base. Horror structures are placed closer together across the pack, so a settlement in one spot can have several structures within a short walk.
