## 📑 More datapacks:
### 🐶 Vanilla Backport RU Wolves Compat
### 🐮 Vanilla Backport Mob Variants Compat
### 🌸 Atmospheric Cactus Flower Compat
ㅤ

## ⚠️ Note:
This datapac only works with [Vanilla Backport](https://modrinth.com/mod/vanillabackport) 1.20.1-1.21.1 1.1.5 or later.
I’ll be adding support for more modded biomes over time. It still has a few inconsistencies that I’ll be fixing.

## 📖 About:
Vanilla Backport Compat is a datapack/mod that adds natural generation of Vanilla Backport’s leaf litters, wildflowers, fallen trees and more to modded biomes, no more having leaf litters in only three vanilla biomes in your 200 biomes modpack! In addition, leaf litters now generate in the Pale Garden biome.
I don’t feel the need to add features to certain biomes since they already generate them by default using the forge/fabric biome tags. However, if you have suggestions for adding or removing a feature from a biome in a way that would benefit it, feel free to let me know.
This is the list of things this datapack adds:
- Leaf litter generation
- Wildflower generation
- Bush generation
- Firefly bush generation
- Fallen trees generation (oak, birch and spruce)
- Tall and short dry grass generation
- Warm and cold mob variants
- Wolf variants
- Desert ambient sounds
- Snow! Real Magic! instant compatibility
- Falling leaves
- Falling needles
- Happy Ghast prevents new damage sources
- Dried Ghast ambient sounds compatibility
- Natural generation of camels
- Natural generation of armadillos
You only need Vanilla Backport installed, the rest of the mods are optional compatibility and are not required.
