LargeWorld

Overview

These data and resource packs replace Minecraft’s “Large Biomes” and “Amplified” world types with “Large World” which scales most noise parameters horizontally for all dimensions resulting in a world which retains the same general terrain, continents, and biome arrangement as a normal world for a given seed but extended farther outwards — 4 times larger (on each of the X and Z axes) for the overworld, 3 times larger in the nether, and twice as large in the end.

Finer details of the world, including canyons, caves, and tunnels, may appear in different places but are commesurately longer / wider than those in a normal world. The distribution of terrain features and structures is not changed with this world type, but see the WidespreadStructures data pack if you want these spread out further across your large world.

Usage

Download both the data and resource packs for the same release on Modrinth.

At the Minecraft welcome screen, click “Options…”, “Resource Packs…”, and then “Open Pack Folder”. Copy LargeWorld_resource-version.zip into this folder, then it will appear in the list of “Available” resource packs. Click the rightward arrow on the resource pack icon to select it, ensuring it appears above the “Default” Minecraft resources.

Click “Done” and “Done”. Minecraft should load the new resource pack.

When creating your world, go to the “More” tab, click on “Data Packs”, and “Open Pack Folder”. Copy LargeWorld_data-version.zip into this folder, then it will appear in the list of “Available” data packs. Click the rightward arrow on the data pack icon to select it for your world, ensuring it appears above the “Default” Minecraft data.

Then go to the “World” tab and click on the “World Type” button until it shows “Large World”. Enter a seed if you have one you’d like to use and choose any other desired settings in the “Game” or “More” tab. When ready, click “Create New World”. Enjoy your large world!
