Biome Overrides

Biome overrides are a way to replace certain aspects of biomes, that are normally controlled by the server side, with the use of resource packs on the client side, similar to the biomes_client.json in the Bedrock Edition.

---

They are defined by the biome_overrides.json file in any namespace (directories in assets, like minecraft), having an override effect if you use the same namespace used by another resource pack, and an addition effect otherwise.

Example

{
   "minecraft:swamp": {
      "water_color": "#4c6559",
      "water_fog_color": "#4c6559",
      "fog_color": "#4c6559",
      "sky_color": "#4c6559",
      "water_fog_distance": 15,
      "water_transparency": 1.0
    }
}

Description

• minecraft:swamp -> the desired biome, defined by the biome id, can be default to be applied for all biomes (be careful with this), when there is no biome override for it
• water_color -> the water color used by the biome, can be a RGB color hex or number
• water_fog_color -> the water fog color used by the biome, can be a RGB color hex or number
• fog_color -> the fog color used by the biome, can be a RGB color hex or number
• sky_color -> the sky fog color used by the biome, can be a RGB color hex or number
• water_fog_distance -> the water fog distance used by the biome, can be a decimal number (default:96)
• water_transparency -> the water transparency used by the biome, can be a percentage, i.e. from the scope 0-1
