Mobs, blocks and biomes are all that the familiar world of Minecraft consists of, if you do not add various additions. If you are a fan of keeping familiar gameplay without changing the main functions, then mod Expansive Biomes will significantly improve the game. Assembly includes over 20 new biomes in the blocky worldthat players have to go around and explore. You will find many interesting things in these lands, so prepare yourself well.
