v0.3  - The Biome Update

Additions

Biomes

Main Biomes
*16 in total, based on climate (temperature and humidity values ranging from cold/temperate/warm/hot and dry/temperate/moist/wet.
*Forest: Densely populated with trees all around. Only biome where Aspen generates naturally. Spawns wolves and bears.
*Plains: Flat biome with lots of tall grass and no beaches. Only biome where villages, rabbits and horses spawn.
*Desert: Lots of sand everywhere. Occasional quicksand pits and oasis with palm trees, deep sandstone layers and fossils. Only place where antlions and vultures spawn.
*Taiga: Cold biome with lots of snow and ice. Ground layer composed of permafrost. Spruce/pine trees generate in a dense forest. Spawns foxes and wolves
*Tundra: Cold and flat biome, basically a frozen version of the plains biome without tall grass. Also generates with permafrost in place of dirt and grass. Snow everywhere and infrequent trees. Penguins spawn here.
*Savanna: Warm biome with dry grass and tall grass everywhere. Trees found here are Acacia and Baobab, alongside small bushes on the ground and pumpkin patches. Unique mobs here include ostriches and meerkats.
*Jungle: Mud and lush grass everywhere, big jungle trees, small bushes on the ground and melon patches. Mobs found here include parrots, ocelots and monkeys.
*Swamp: Very flat biome with plenty of water. Mud and lush grass compose the dirt layer, with mangrove trees found both in and outside of the water. Unique mobs include turtles and frogs
*Mountains: Extremely mountainous terrain (especially in extended world height), with snow at the top. Less trees and more frequent exposed stone and gravel patches. Higher quantities of iron generate here.
*Mesa: Mountainous biome with frequent dips/canyons in the terrain. Comprised of red sand and hardened clay in various colors. Sometimes has grassy tops with savanna trees. No mobs spawn here. Higher quantities of gold.
*Glacier: Composed of snow blocks, packed ice and frequent ice spikes. Very mountainous. Spawns penguins.
*Volcanic Wasteland: Volcanic soil and ash everywhere. Dead/scorched trees, magma and lava on the surface and basalt volcanoes. Higher quantities of diamonds can be found in this biome.
*Rainforest: Mahogany trees, low altitude terrain with plenty of water and seaweed, high cliffs dotted around.
*Woodland Hills: Infdev 415 inspired terrain with nothing but large trees and lakes.
*Valley Hills: The vanilla biome which still generates.
*Snowy Hills: A cold version of Valley Hills, with lots of snow and ice covering the surface.
*Beach: Mandatory biome that generates at the edges of other biomes when they meet an ocean (excluding swamps and mountains). Generates grass in higher areas and sparse palm trees.
*Ocean: Large bodies of water with seaweed. Generate near shorelines.
*Deep Ocean: Deeper than regular oceans and more inwards. Generate ravines and coral reefs.
*Frozen Ocean: Frozen surface with icebergs. Generate in colder ocean areas.
*Frozen Beach: Comprised of silver sand and snow. Generates where there are frozen biomes.
*Stoney shore: Has a chance to replace regular beaches. Generally higher generation and all exposed stone.
*Tropical island: Generates in the middle of large, deep oceans. Has palm trees and big beaches.
*Ice Sheet: Replacement for tropical islands in frozen oceans. Surface covered by snow and ice.
*Each primary biome can be disabled (except for ocean variants, tropical islands, ice sheets and beaches) when creating a world.  Disabled biomes are automatically replaced by the default biome, valley hills. Biomes also do NOT work in other world types.

Biome Variants
*These are variants of the primary biomes. They have a chance to replace areas (but not necessarily the whole biome) of the main biome and cannot be disabled on their own as they are tied directly to the base biome.
*Aspen forest: Rainforest biome variant
*Dry Taiga: Taiga biome variant, essentially snowless Taiga
*Cherry Grove: Plains variant. Terrain is usually higher and spawns nothing but cherry trees everywhere.
*Shrubland: Plains variant. Has small shrubs on the ground, similar to the jungle and savanna ones.

*Maple forest: Rainforest variant with just maple trees.
*Snowy Woodland: A snowy/cold variant of the regular woodland.
*Frozen desert: Tundra variant with higher terrain, boulders of ice and silver sand.
*Sparse jungle: Jungle variant with a lot less trees of a smaller variant, more open overall.
*Bamboo forest: Jungle variant with a lot of dense bamboo “trees” everywhere.
*Outback: Flat area with dry grass, tall grass, red sand, dead bushes, cacti and acacia shrubs that can sometimes generate in savannas.
*Steppes: Basically a cold variant of the shrubland. Tundra variant, has lots of pine shrubs and no snow, but still has podzol and permafrost covering the surface.
