What is Regions Unexplored?

2 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta guide

Regions Unexplored is a biome mod. It overhauls how the Overworld and the Nether generate, so exploring feels fresh again. The project page advertises 64 new biomes, plus a lot of new blocks and items to find in them.[1]

It's for you if you like exploring, building, or just want your world to look different. It adds scenery and building material rather than a new tech or magic system.[1]

Version in this pack

This pack ships Regions Unexplored 0.7.0+beta2 for NeoForge. The 64 biome figure comes from the project page's general description, so I can't confirm it matches this exact build.[1][2]

The project page says that from version 0.6 onward the mod depends on Lithostitched 1.7.9 or above. Older versions used Terrablender instead. Since this pack's build is newer than 0.6, the Lithostitched requirement is the one that applies.[1][2]

Tip: The project page says the mod currently lacks a wiki and a full up-to-date biome list, so don't count on finding one online.[1]

Where it fits in progression

Unverified The sources I have don't show any quests in this pack that involve Regions Unexplored, and they don't place it on the ATM Star path. Treat it as an optional exploration and building mod rather than something your progression depends on.

How do you get started with Regions Unexplored?

4 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.53 guide

Regions Unexplored is a biome mod: it overhauls Overworld and Nether generation and adds 64 new biomes, along with a pile of new blocks and items to go with them. That means your first step isn't a machine or a multiblock, it's a walk. Pick a direction, travel until the terrain stops looking vanilla, and start chopping.[1]

Step one: logs and planks

Every new tree gives you a new log, and each log family converts to its own planks exactly like vanilla wood. Baobab is a good example of the pattern, and the same recipe shape exists for the other wood types in the mod.[3]

Recipe id: regions_unexplored:baobab_planks

Any log in the baobab family works.

From there the full building set opens up, so you can put up a base in a wood the pack's other mods don't offer. Stairs, slabs, doors, trapdoors, fences, gates, buttons, pressure plates, signs and hanging signs are all there, plus boats if your new biome happens to be across water.[3][4]

If you want a second colour without hunting down a second tree, the mod's painted planks take any planks and a dye, and they have matching stairs and slabs.[3]

Step two: get the trees home

Carry saplings back with you. The mod also adds shrubs, which are small decorative versions of trees, and saplings convert to shrubs and back again, so you never lose a sapling by planting the wrong one.[3]

Branches are the other cheap decoration worth knowing early: a log plus sticks gives you a branch block, and the recipe exists for vanilla woods as well as the mod's own.[3]

Step three: ash and ashen dirt

Ash is craftable rather than something you have to mine out of an ashen biome, and ash turns plain dirt into ashen dirt. That lets you recreate a patch of ashen ground at home, and ashen saplings and shrubs convert back and forth like the other trees.[3]

Later: skip the travel

The pack adds its own crafting recipes that produce the mod's logs from a Mystical Agriculture essence, covering the whole list from Alpha Log and Baobab Log through to Willow Log. Once you have essence farms running you can make any of these woods at home instead of flying out to find the biome, so don't feel you have to hoard logs on your first trip.[3]

One of 23 pack-added log recipes; the rest follow the same pattern.

Tip: If you want a goal to aim at, the mod ships advancements for collecting every log, for exploring all of its Surface, Cave and Nether biomes, and for collecting or crafting every colour of Snowbelle flower. They make a decent checklist for how much of the mod you've actually seen.[4]

How does Regions Unexplored work?

5 parts

Set your expectations before you dig in: this is a worldgen mod, not a tech mod. It overhauls how the Overworld and Nether generate and adds 64 new biomes plus a large pile of new blocks and items, so there are no machines, no power network and no multiblocks to assemble. Its "mechanics" are the generation layer, the crafting trees that turn its wood and plants into building blocks, and the way the pack hooks all of that into automation.[1]

Worldgen is the engine

Everything else in the mod flows from where things spawn. New regions are spread across the surface, underground and the Nether, and the mod's own advancement track splits them the same way: one for exploring all the surface biomes, one for finding all the cave biomes, one for venturing into all the Nether biomes, and a capstone for having explored all of them.[1][4]

That means your progression here is travel, not tiers. Biomes like Autumnal Maple Forest, Cold Deciduous Forest and Mycotoxic Undergrowth each carry their own wood type, ground blocks and plants, so a mapping mod or a good boat is the closest thing this mod has to a machine.[4]

Wood sets and the log-to-block chain

Each tree type follows the vanilla pattern all the way down. A log becomes planks, planks become slabs and stairs, and the set continues into fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, buttons, pressure plates, signs and hanging signs. Logs also have stripped log and stripped wood variants, so anything you build with vanilla oak has a direct equivalent in Blackwood, Brimwood, Baobab and the rest.[4][5]

Recipe id: regions_unexplored:alpha_planks

Every wood type follows this same log-to-planks step.

There are also decorative offshoots that don't exist in vanilla. Leaf piles give you a thin ground-cover layer for maple, silver birch and enchanted birch, shrubs are a small standalone plant you can craft from a sapling, and branches are a separate item made from a log.[4][5]

Bioshrooms, ash and paint

Bioshrooms are the mod's fungal wood type and they come in blue, green, pink and yellow. Each colour has a stem and a hyphae block with stripped variants, plus a glowing block version, and the stems feed the usual planks, stairs, slabs, fences, doors and signs. Collecting every Bioshroom type and every Bioshroom Stem type are both tracked as advancements, so they double as a nice checklist while you explore cave biomes.[4]

Ash is a small crafting loop of its own. You can make Ash on a crafting table, and Ash converts plain dirt into Ashen Dirt, which is the ground block for the mod's burnt regions. That makes Ashen Dirt fully renewable without ever finding the biome it comes from.[5]

Painted planks are the builder's toy here: planks and stairs exist in the full dye spread, including black, brown, orange, magenta, purple, green, light blue and light gray, with slabs for several of them. Snowbelle flowers work the same way, and the mod's own advancement notes that you can collect or craft every colour of them rather than hunting each one down.[4]

Automation: the essence route

This is where the pack does the real integration work. The pack adds its own crafting recipes that turn Mystical Agriculture's unexplored wood essence into Regions Unexplored logs, covering Alpha, Ashen, Bamboo, Baobab, Blackwood, Brimwood, Cobalt, Cypress, Dead, Eucalyptus, Joshua, Kapok, Larch, Magnolia, Maple, Mauve, Palm, Pine, Redwood, Silver Birch, Small Oak, Socotra and Willow. These recipes are not part of the base mod, so don't expect them outside this pack.[5]

One of the pack-added essence-to-log recipes; the other wood types work the same way.

Tip: Because the essence recipes are plain crafting-table recipes, any autocrafting setup can feed them. Farm the essence once and you can produce every log type on that list on demand, without maintaining a separate tree farm for each one.[5]

Environmental hazards and interactions

A few blocks and plants do something when you touch them. The Dorcel Flower damages you when you walk through it, Giant Lily Pads can be walked or bounced on, and Kapok trees grow vines you can hang from. Duskmelon and Hanging Earlight Fruit are both edible.[4]

Watch out: The mod ships without a wiki or a complete up-to-date biome list, so in-game exploration and the recipe viewer are your best references for what generates where.[1]

Unverified Spawn rates, biome weights and any toggles for individual features are not covered by the available sources, and there are no config files for this mod in the pack to check.

How do you progress through Regions Unexplored?

2 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.53 guide

Unverified Regions Unexplored is a worldgen and building-block mod, and no quests in this pack involve it. It is also not on the ATM Star quest path, so there is no quest-driven tier ladder to follow. No in-jar guidebook or reusable official documentation was available either, so progression advice beyond the recipes below is unconfirmed.

What the pack adds: essence-made logs

The one pack-specific change we can confirm is how you can get the mod's logs. The pack adds its own crafting recipes that turn Unexplored Wood Essence into Regions Unexplored logs, so you don't have to find every biome's trees to collect the wood. This covers a long list of types, including Alpha Log, Baobab Log, Blackwood Log, Maple Log and Willow Log.[3]

Turning logs into building blocks

Once you have logs, the rest of the chain is regular mod crafting. Logs become planks, and planks become the usual building pieces. Baobab is a good example: Baobab Planks lead to Baobab Slab, Baobab Stairs, Baobab Door, Baobab Trapdoor, Baobab Fence and Baobab Boat. Blackwood has the same set.[3]

Wood blocks aren't the only thing you can craft. A few recipes are worth knowing about: Baobab Hanging Sign uses a stripped log, saplings and shrubs convert back and forth (for example Baobab Shrub and Baobab Sapling), and Ashen Dirt can be made from regular, peat or silt dirt.[3]

Tip: The log-from-essence recipes are marked as added by the pack, while planks, slabs, stairs and the rest are plain mod recipes. If you ever want to check where a recipe comes from, that's the difference to look for.[3]

How does Regions Unexplored work with other mods?

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.53 guide

Regions Unexplored is a biome mod, so its links to other mods in this pack come through its woods. Every connection I could confirm is an in-pack recipe that involves its logs or planks.[1][3]

Mystical Agriculture: logs from essence

The pack adds crafting recipes that turn Unexplored Wood Essence into Regions Unexplored logs. They cover Alpha Log, Ashen Log, Bamboo Log, Baobab Log, Blackwood Log, Brimwood Log, Cobalt Log, Cypress Log, Dead Log, Eucalyptus Log, Joshua Log and Kapok Log. They also cover Larch Log, Magnolia Log, Maple Log, Mauve Log, Palm Log, Pine Log, Redwood Log, Silver Birch Log, Small Oak Log, Socotra Log and Willow Log.[3]

Here's one example, and the others follow the same pattern.[3]

Mekanism: sawing logs into planks

The pack adds Mekanism sawing recipes that turn logs into planks, with Sawdust as a second output. Most of them accept any log from that wood's log tag, while the Alpha recipe takes Alpha Log directly. The recipes cover the planks of many Regions Unexplored woods, including the Blue, Green, Pink and Yellow Bioshroom variants such as Blue Bioshroom Planks and Yellow Bioshroom Planks.[3]

Productive Trees gets matching pack-added sawmill recipes for the same Regions Unexplored planks, such as Willow Planks and Redwood Planks. Each one lists Sawdust together with the planks and the matching log tag.[3]

Unverified The recipe data for the Productive Trees sawmill recipes doesn't show their outputs clearly, so what exactly the sawmill produces from them is unconfirmed.

Productive Bees: expansion boxes

Productive Bees has expansion boxes made from Regions Unexplored planks plus a honeycomb. These are the mod's own recipes, not pack changes. There is one for each wood in the list below.[3]

The other expansion boxes use the same pattern with their own planks.

Tip: If you want a specific Regions Unexplored wood for an expansion box, you can get its logs from the Mystical Agriculture recipes, then saw them into planks with the Mekanism recipes.[3]

Which Regions Unexplored config options matter?

Unverified I don't have this pack's config files for Regions Unexplored, so I can't tell you which config options exist or which values the pack changed from the mod defaults. Any specific option or value I gave you here would be a guess, so I'm leaving them out.

The mod's project page doesn't document any config options either. All it says about setup is that the dependencies depend on the mod version. Versions 0.6 and above need Lithostitched 1.7.9 or above, plus Fabric API on Fabric. Versions 0.5.9 and below need Terrablender, plus Forge Config API Port and Fabric API on Fabric.[1]

Unverified Which of those two dependency sets this pack uses isn't confirmed by the sources I have, so check the pack's mod list before you go looking for config files.

What changed in Regions Unexplored between versions?

1 part

All the Mods 10 0.50 ships Regions Unexplored version 0.5.6.1, using the NeoForge build for 1.21. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 0.32 or earlier, so it is not a recent addition.[6]

What changed in 0.5.6.1

The mod's own changelog for the version you get in this pack lists these fixes:[7]

  • Fixed all blocks being usable as furnace fuel.[7]
  • Fixed Jar Dependencies.[7]
  • Fixed potted plant loot tables.[7]
