Elkonian Wilderness

🌋 Elkonian Wilderness# A hand-crafted dimension of custom biomes, trees, and structures — no mods required. Elkonian Wilderness is a data-driven overworld dimension for Minecraft 26.1.2 that trades vanilla's familiar terrain for a curated wilderness: misty stone pillars, dark volcanic peaks, drowned coral shoals, baobab savannas, and a swamp that never stops raining. Everything runs on a datapack + resource pack, so it works on vanilla clients and servers alike. ✨ Biomes

• Zhang Spires — misty subtropical valleys pierced by clustered stone pillars, draped in moss and bamboo, ringed by gentle foothills.
• Blackstone Peaks & Foothills — jagged volcanic mountains of dark rock, pale groves clinging to the slopes, and lava veins in the deep.
• Golden Rolling Hills — sunlit meadows of dense birch groves and fancy oaks, mixed wildflowers, and fallen logs.
• Red Savanna — sweeping dry grassland studded with groves of towering Great Baobabs.
• Red Sands Desert — rolling red dunes and oversized saguaro-style cactus clusters.
• Coastal Shoals — a thin drowned-shelf border biome of driftwood, dead coral shells, tide grass, and shipwrecks.
• Deep Coral Ocean — dark, deep reefs of tall branching coral, sponges, kelp forests, and teeming fish.
• Mirefen Basin — a sunken, rain-soaked swamp maze of weeping willows, cypress, and mangroves, alive with frogs, slimes, and overworld-surviving hoglins.
• Cherry Grove, plus a full set of vanilla-style oceans and a Y-layered underworld of cave biomes.
• Plus an early Wide Nether — a custom, expanded nether dimension (bonus, still in development).

🏛️ Structures & Custom Trees

• The Blackstone Volcano — a massive multi-piece build wrapping a lava crater, with stone "legs" that grow down to meet the terrain wherever it spawns.
• Giant Sequoias, Great Baobabs, golden birch groves, weeping willows & cypress, and big checkerboard cactus — all custom, hand-shaped trees.
• Reworked villages (taiga, savanna, cherry, mangrove), shipwrecks & buried treasure, sunken temples, witch huts, pillager outposts, and more.

🌍 Two Editions

• Elkonian Wilderness — the pure custom dimension.
• Blend Fork — the same wilderness with vanilla biomes (taiga, dark forest, pale gardens, desert & badlands, snowy biomes, and more) woven in for a more familiar, varied experience.

📦 Installation & Entry

1. Drop the datapack into your world's datapacks folder (or your server's) before first load — datapack dimensions bake their generator at world creation, so use a fresh world.
2. Apply the matching resource pack for the custom visuals.
3. Travel between worlds with the built-in warps (complete with a portal warp animation):
   • /function elkonia:wob/enter — warp into the Elkonian Wilderness
   • /function elkonia:wob/leave — return to the overworld

Requires: Minecraft 26.1.2. No mods, no loaders — pure vanilla datapack + resource pack.
