After the developers announced the update biomes, we can one of the first to test them in the concept addon called Biome Chooser. This
Minecraft PE mod changes several biomes, adding to them what was announced at Minecon 2018, such as vegetation and animals.
Features
Meerkats. These new cute animals will now live in the desert biome. They can be tamed and used as a pet.
Desert tree. This new tree is nothing like the other trees in Minecraft, because It has a very elastic trunk that bends very much.
Berry Bush. Is a new Bush that can be seen in the taiga biome. It is very well complements the environment, because it has a darkened shade of foliage.
Foxes. This is a new mob, which is generated in the taiga biome. This predator is able to hunt chickens and other small animals.
Termites. Now small spiders will become even more. They can be found in the Savannah biome. Termites move whole colonies to protect their family as much as possible.
Baobabs. This is a new tree that has a very thick trunk. It has almost no foliage. Baobab is a great source of solid wood for your home in Minecraft.
Campfire. The torch is the only cheap light source in the dark times of the day. The developers have taken care to diversify the light sources by adding Campfire.
How to install Biome Chooser
Addons have the following file formats: .mcpack, .mcaddon, .mcworld and less often .zip. These new file types automate the process of installing modifications, texture packs and maps.
- First we need FX, ES or another File Explorer application.
- Using File Explorer, find the downloaded .mcpack or .mcaddon.
- As in iOS, Android, so in Windows 10 or 11, by default, all downloaded files are contained in the "Downloads" folder.
- In the drop-down menu, open the addon using the Minecraft PE (Bedrock) application. It will take some time to import.
After successful import, you will see the appropriate pop-up labels in the main menu of the game.- Next, we will need to apply a resource pack and/or behavior pack when creating a new world or editing an existing world.
- Open the game world and test the changes.
In case the addon has .ZIP or .RAR format then use the following guide:
- Long press on the zip file to select it. Then click the "More" button in the lower right corner. And then click "Extract to".
- After extracting the zip file, open the folder that was created.
- Go to the following file address: /games/com.mojang/. The following folders are contained inside:
- behavior_packs - addon body and scripts.
- minecraft_worlds - contains both textures, addons and the game world.
- resource_packs - contains textures that ensure the correct operation of addons.
- Next, move the folder with textures to the resource_packs folder (It can be abbreviated as Res).
Then go back to /games/com.mojang/, but this time open the behavior_packs folder and paste the copied folder of the addon body here (This will be abbreviated as Beh). - Launch Minecraft PE (Bedrock Edition).
- Create a new world or edit an existing world.
- Select the desired game settings that you want. Then scroll down on the left sidebar and click on resource and/or behavior packs and apply the imported modifications.
- Open the game world and test the changes.
