Biome stuff: In addition to new Stone varieties, Minestrapp also adds two new biomes to the game: Redwood Forests, and The Frost. Redwood Forests are warm biomes, covered in Podzol and densely populated with towering Redwood Trees. The biome also features large, California-style forested sand-dunes, which can provide a nice, flat clearing for building houses and such. Because of its large amount of Podzol, Redwood biomes also provide an ideal habitat for Moss, which grows in patches on the forest floor. Moss can be harvested with a Shovel similarly to Snow, and is used in cutting all Mossy Stone blocks.
The Frost, however, is a far less hospitable environment. Immediately after entering the biome, you'll notice the bitter cold causes you to move notably slower unless you are wearing a full set of Armor. The Permafrost and Cold Sand that generate here are also nearly useless for growing plants unless smelted back into Dirt or normal Sand, making survival in the Frost much more difficult than in other biomes. The biome IS, however, useful for harvesting its exotic Forzen Oak trees. These trees, unlike Redwoods (which can sometimes generate in Mountains or Taigas outside of their native biome), are exclusively found in the frost biome, and can be crafted or milled into shiny blue Frozen Oak Planks. Their Saplings will simply thaw and grow into normal Oak trees if planted on Dirt or Grass, however, so you'll need to harvest some of the Frost's Permafrost blocks in order to create a Frozen Oak tree farm.

Totally unrelated, but wow this mod looks cool
Yeah it does - I'd heard of it, but never looked into it before now... very cool indeed! :)
