Biomes
Biomes generate in the same places as in vanilla Minecraft, but Matcha Flavoured overrides 65 of them to change their mob spawns, ore and plant features, and colors. The pack's resource pack also replaces the grass and foliage color maps with its own gradated maps (made by Movpasd), which changes the color of plants in every biome.
General changes
- Husks everywhere
- Almost every overworld biome gains Husks as a monster spawn (weight 75, groups of 1–2), and the Zombie weight is raised to 100. In deserts the husk weight is lowered from 80 to 75 and the zombie weight raised from 19 to 100. Husks act as slow, strong "tanks" next to fast zombies; see Husk.[1]
- Silver
- Native Silver replaces emerald ore. Nearly every overworld biome gains a deep silver feature: 3 veins per chunk, or 5 in mountain biomes, in a triangular distribution from 80 blocks below to 80 blocks above the bottom of the world (so most silver is found near Y=-64 and none above Y=16).[2][3] The vanilla mountain emerald feature is kept, but with 50 attempts per chunk instead of 100.[4] The Deep Dark gets both the mountain deep feature and the vanilla feature. Beach and Stony Peaks are the only overworld biome overrides without a deep silver feature.
- Quartz
- Quartz Deposits replace lapis lazuli ore. Their main feature places 12 veins per chunk between Y=-32 and Y=96 (vanilla: 2 veins between Y=-32 and Y=32), so quartz is common at higher elevations and useful for glass.[5]
- Frozen biomes
- Snowy and frozen biomes have pale sky and fog colors and drifting white ash particles. Swimming in their water causes freezing.
- Pale Garden
- The Pale Garden has no hostile mob spawns.
- Hell
- Gravel no longer generates in Hell, and Hellspore (Nether wart) grows naturally on the surface of Nether Wastes and Soul Sand Valleys. See Hell#Generation.
Changes by biome
Spawn weights are given as (weight, minimum group – maximum group). Features marked + are added and − are removed. Colors are the new values.[6]

Features
| Feature | Biomes | Details |
|---|---|---|
matcha:ore_emerald_deep |
Most overworld biomes | Native Silver (vanilla emerald ore vein, size 3); 3 per chunk, trapezoid from bottom−80 to bottom+80. |
matcha:ore_emerald_deep_mountain |
Cherry Grove, Deep Dark, Frozen Peaks, Grove, Jagged Peaks, Meadow, Snowy Slopes, Windswept Forest, Windswept Gravelly Hills, Windswept Hills | As above with 5 per chunk. |
matcha:ore_coal_deep_large |
Desert | Coal Deposit veins of size 17; 30 per chunk, uniformly from the bottom of the world to 64 blocks above it.[7] |
matcha:flower_beach |
Beach | Blue orchids (weight 2) and cornflowers (weight 1); a 1 in 32 chance per chunk of a patch of 64 attempts.[8] |
matcha:nether_wart |
Nether Wastes, Soul Sand Valley | Hellspore patches of age 0–3 on soul sand. Uses a tree feature whose "trunk" is Nether wart and whose base block is soul sand.[9] |
Swamp, dappled forest, plains and beach
Since 1.12.6-alpha, for Minecraft 26.3, the pack also changes these biomes (first in the 1.12.3 alpha for 26.3):[10]
- Swamp: the vanilla swamp trees are replaced by
matcha:trees_swamp, 19 attempts per chunk (3 in one chunk out of ten), each placing a bush (20%), a swampy oak (40%) or, by default, a swampy oak. The swampy oak has a poplar-style trunk 5 to 9 blocks tall with 1 to 4 branches, standing on muddy mangrove roots, with shelf mushrooms (60%), leaf litter, vines (20%) and occasional logs lying against the trunk; the bush is a single log under a small leaf ball.[11][12][13] Swamps also lose chickens, cows and sheep from their spawn list, and frogs become twice as likely (weight 10→20). - Dappled forest, a biome new in Minecraft 26.3: the pack adds husks (75, 1–2) and gives it a closed canopy of poplar trees (orange, red and yellow) with leaf litter, 64 attempts per chunk. It has no deep silver, its water is
#a2b5dd, and since 1.12.7-beta its grass is#c5612b(vanilla#df6827).[14][15][16] - Plains and Sunflower plains lose chickens from their spawn list, and Beach gains them (20, 4).
Music
The resource pack replaces the forest background music with the track "Abbey", so it plays in Forest, Birch Forest, Old Growth Birch Forest and Dark Forest. See Music.
History
| 0.5-alpha | Freshwater and saltwater biomes grouped into five fishing climates each (see Fishing). |
|---|---|
| 0.6-alpha | Sand, red sand and packed mud support vegetation. |
| 1.0 | Deserts no longer have flowers; desert and badlands sky and fog colors changed. |
| 1.10 | Husks spawn in all biomes.
|
| 1.12.1-alpha | Silver is less common on the surface, found rarely in every biome and more often deep in mountain biomes.
|
| 1.12.2 | Taiga grass color changed. |
| 1.12.6-alpha | For Minecraft 26.3 (first in the 1.12.3 alpha for 26.3): swamps get their own trees (swampy oaks, bushes and shelf mushrooms), lose chickens, cows and sheep from their spawn list, and frogs become twice as likely. The dappled forest, new in Minecraft 26.3, is added with a closed canopy of poplar trees. Plains lose chickens from their spawn list and beaches gain them.[17][18] The release notes of 1.12.3 for 26.2 already say that swamps were "made swampier", but that release had none of these changes.[19] |
| 1.12.7-beta | Dappled forest grass color changed from #df6827 to #c5612b. The data pack also gained a copy of the Sulfur Caves biome that is identical to vanilla's.[20][21]
