Description

JOIN OUR DISCORD

Adds wide, natural-looking rivers that generate as a real part of the terrain inside jungle biomes. Instead of placing a channel on top of finished ground, the river valleys are carved into the world the same way vanilla makes its rivers — so you get a proper sunken riverbed, sand and dirt banks, water filled to sea level, and clean merges wherever a river runs into the ocean or into another biome. The goal is simple: make jungles feel alive with big, Amazon-style waterways that look like they were always meant to be there.

River in jungle generated by mod

📦 Install on the server (or in singleplayer). River generation is server-side worldgen. Vanilla clients can connect and explore the rivers with no extra setup.

⚠️ Only affects newly generated chunks. Already-explored jungle won't change — travel to fresh terrain (or start a new world) to see the rivers. Everything outside jungle climate stays byte-for-byte identical to vanilla.

🎮 Singleplayer note: Works perfectly in singleplayer — just drop it into your mods folder as usual.

What it does:

  • Real terrain rivers: River valleys are part of the landscape itself — carved bed, sloped banks, water at sea level. No floating grass, no exposed-stone trenches, no artificial channels.
  • Wide & winding: Rivers use a flat-bottomed, wide profile so they read as large waterways you can actually canoe down and spot from a distance — not thin ditches.
  • Seamless merges: Where a river reaches the coast it flows straight into the sea; where it meets a lake or low valley it blends in with no walls or seams.
  • Natural banks: Surface rules lay sand and dirt along the water's edge (no grass underwater), exactly like vanilla rivers and beaches.
  • Jungle wildlife: Tropical fish and salmon spawn in the new rivers, so they feel populated instead of empty.
  • Vanilla-faithful & lightweight: Pure data-driven worldgen — no new blocks, no extra config to babysit, and zero changes to non-jungle terrain.

🌍 Where rivers appear: Wide rivers form in flat, low-lying jungle (near sea level), where water can actually pool — this is where you get the full Amazon look. Coastal jungle gets rivers that empty into the ocean. High mountain-jungle and small island-jungle stay mostly dry, because real flowing water can't sit perched on a slope — same physical rule vanilla rivers follow.
