Better Jungles (and survival modpack)

<h3><strong>Check out the <span style="color: #8e44ad;">Recommended Modlist</span> and <span style="color: #8e44ad;">Config</span> below for the full Jungle Survival Experience.&nbsp;<br><br>Underground spawning is now a seperate mod - <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/44449"><span style="color: #2880b9;">Cave Spawning</span></a> - so install that seperately if you want that feature. I am looking into increasing the threats from surface creatures, possibly by patching FotSA Big Cats.<br><br>(Coming soon - RPG mod to go with this, and maybe a public server!)<br><br>(Will probably not work with other mods that change the default treegen properties, such as Better Forests - So I have also made changes to temperate trees)<br><br>* NEW WORLD GEN SETTINGS DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH TERRA PRETTY AND WATERSHEDS MOD - IF YOU ARE NOT USING THOSE MODS USE THE DEFAULT WORLD HEIGHT!*</strong></h3> <h2><br><span style="color: #e74c3c;">Multi-player server live now!

The larger trees in the deep jungle are more realistic, though there is still enough undergrowth to make it feel claustrophobic&nbsp;<br><br></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li> <h4>More intense weather</h4> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul> <li>Increased Lightning and Hail intensity&nbsp; - theres a real chance that either can injure or kill you if you're caught out in the open. Frequency unchanged.&nbsp;<br><br></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Flower and Crop Changes</strong> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul> <li>For most vanilla flowers, you're still going to need to search on mountain-tops, but I increased the chances of finding them there.</li> <li>Increased chances of finding tropical crops in Jungles - they still won't spawn in 100% forested areas, but you might find them in clearings or the jungles edge/savanna now.&nbsp;<br><br><br></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/NecromancerAkiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img style="height: 60px !important; width: 217px !important;" src="https://cdn.buymeacoffee.com/buttons/v2/default-violet.png" alt="Buy Me a Coffee"></a></li> </ul> <h2>Notes</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li><em><strong>Bees</strong> </em>won't spawn at your starting location (maximum spawn temperature is 35c and using the recommended config will give you an average temperture of 39-42c at your spawn location), I did some research, and this is accurate (36c is the maximum sustained temperture bees can survive in the wild irl). So you're going to have to search plateaus and mountains for them, which are few and far between with the recommended worldgen config. Good luck o7 <br>(Update - I have found bees in relatively hot areas, I guess that's due to the height of the trees)<br><br></li> <li><em><strong>Horsetails</strong></em> don't spawn in the jungle, but they will still spawn on empty farmland. So healing will be hard to come by early game.&nbsp;<br><br></li> <li><em><strong>Cutting Down Trees</strong></em> will be very difficult unless you isolate the tree entirely from it's neighbours, or choose a smaller tree that is not connected to the jungle canopy.&nbsp;<br> <h3><span style="color: #e67e23;">Custom Mods</span></h3> </li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #bdc3c7;">A few mods I created to go with this mod (They are also included in the <span style="color: #8e44ad;">Recommended Modlist</span> below)</span></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/44449"><strong><span style="color: #2880b9;">Cave Spawning</span></strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/cavebears"><strong><span style="color: #2880b9;">Cave Bears (not updated to 1.22.3 yet)</span></strong></a></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><span style="color: #8e44ad;"><strong>Discord</strong>&nbsp;<span style="color: #bdc3c7;">- Share your builds and adventures<a href="https://discord.gg/22mPyE92k"> <span style="color: #3598db;">here!&nbsp;</span></a></span></span><br><br></h2> <div class="spoiler"> <div class="spoiler-toggle">1.22.3 Modpack</div> <div class="spoiler-text">1.22.3 Recommended Modpack<br><br>Coming soon!
