Did You Know...

...That 4 out of 10 Big Sister players have never visited an imported biome?

How did I come up with that statistic?  Magic!  *snort snort*  XD

But yes, while I think most people have at the very least popped in and out of Monster Island, most may not realize that some additional biomes have been added even after that big job.  And why wouldn't they, if I haven't even blogged about them yet, do a combination of work, fatigue, the update to Gulliver v0.14.2, or my newfound fascination with ancient grains.  :P

But I'll very quickly recap the latest additions to our lovely server [with the lovely CayCay serving as the photo model]...

The Ice Spikes Biome!!!

Another gorgeous land hailing from Minecraft 1.7.x, minus the packed ice.  Also the reason we very nearly lost Spawnington, Riverside and Zardenmuiden, but let's not dwell on that awful episode in our lives. ^^;

Anyway, if a giant glacier doesn't suit your fancy, try a landscape riddled with gigantic or miniature icy stalagmites -- and a couple of really awesome ice caves.  :)

The Sacred Springs Biome!!!

Or technically more of an island, since I only imported a tiny little thing that was easy to work with during a time I was especially tired and had no patience for an overland merge.  XD

Anyway, Biomes O' Plenty players will recognize the very majestic high cliffs, bountiful waterfalls, endless coverage of green shrubbery, and ENORMOUS trees, probably almost rivaling some of the Twilight Forest trees in sheer size.  :)

Given its size, though, this is mainly just a taste of what such a biome has to offer.  One day I'll import a properly-sized Sacred Springs biome somewhere on the land.  ^^

The Pirate Biome!!!

Well okay, it's not a "real" biome, I just call it that to sound cool.  Even so, this is a very historic import as it marks the first time we've successfully imported structures from the Better Dungeons mod.  In some ways, structures are easier to import than whole biomes, as they don't necessarily cover a large surface area... but even so, they do have their trickiness.  I very nearly imported them all with a huge gash in the middle of the ocean.  :P

There may still be treasure held by the swash-buckling pigmen pirates, but don't count on there being a lot as some people who pay special attention to Dynmap have already stopped by for some looting.  :D
