Brazilian Biomes, as the name says, is a mod adding real-life biomes from Brazil to Minecraft world, currently including:
- Amazon Rainforest;
- Atlantic Forest (tropical forest);
- Araucaria Plateau (actually a temperate sub-biome of Atlantic Forest);
- Caatinga (xeric scrubland);
- Cerrado (variant of Savanna);
- Pampas (variant of Plains);
- Dunas Restinga and Restinga Beach;
- Pantanal (marshland).
In addition to several wonderful biomes based in real-life brazilian biomes to be explored, this mod also adds a variety of ornamental Brazil native trees, wood, plants and food, including (but not limited to):
- Cashew (found in Dunas Restinga biomes): To obtain the nut, just “craft” it putting the cashew fruit collected from the cashew leaves in the crafting table and you will get the nut and the apple, which can be eaten while the nut needs be cooked to be eaten.
- Brazilnut: First, use scaffolding to scale the tall brazilnut tree in Amazon Rainforest biome, collect the fruit from the leaves and once you get it, just right click the fruit item in a rock and you will get the nut with pell and the shell, which can be used to craft a bowl. In order to pell the nut, craft it with a cobblestone. The pelled nut can be eaten both raw and cooked.
- Parana Pine Nut: Found aplenty falling from the tall pine trees in Araucaria Plateau biome.
- Fruits, like pitanga (“brazilian cherry”, found in Atlantic Forest and Araucaria Plateau), pineapple guava (“feijoa”, found just in Araucaria Plateau), umbu, jua (found in Caatinga), guarana (found in Amazon Rainforest, if you eat it, you will get faster), mangaba (found in Restinga and Cerrado) and wolf-apple (found in Cerrado) that won’t leave you hungry while exploring the world and encountering that (mostly) tropical biomes.
- Cassava, a starchy root found in Amazon Rainforest biome that must be cooked to be eaten (WARNING: eating it without cooking can kill you). It will eventually become a crop.
- Trumpet tees (Ipe)! Besides very beautiful, their flowers also provide dyes.
In the future, more biomes, plants, fruits and also mobs shall be added.
