Continents Data Pack (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Minecraft World Generation with Realistic Continents

The Continents Data Pack (1.21.8, 1.20.1) introduces a completely fresh take on Minecraft’s terrain generation by reshaping your worlds into sprawling continents, vast oceans, scattered archipelagos, and isolated islands. Designed for players who enjoy exploration, survival, and building in more immersive environments, this data pack enhances world structure without altering vanilla biome placement or interfering with existing WorldGen mods. Whether you’re starting a new world or planning a long-term SMP, Continents ensures a better survival experience by preventing poor spawn locations and offering landmasses that feel more natural and dynamic.

Compatible with popular WorldGen mods like Terralith and fully functional with the Vanilla Large Biomes world type, the pack guarantees seamless integration. Its smart spawning algorithm ensures every new world places players on at least a medium-sized landmass, removing the frustration of ocean spawns. Despite creating more ocean, the original biome and region structure remains intact, meaning players can reuse seeds confidently across different setups while preserving landmark positions.

Features:

• Reshapes Minecraft terrain generation into continents, islands, and archipelagos
• Introduces large ocean bodies for more immersive exploration and naval gameplay
• Ensures players always spawn on a medium or large landmass, avoiding ocean-only starts
• Maintains biome and region structure, keeping seeds consistent across different setups
• Fully compatible with WorldGen mods like Terralith and others
• Works with the Vanilla Large Biomes world type
• Doesn’t modify existing biome distribution – only enhances terrain spacing
• Ideal for survival, SMPs, and exploration-based playthroughs
