What is Regions Unexplored?
1 part
Regions Unexplored is a biome mod that overhauls world generation in both the Overworld and the Nether. It adds a big batch of new biomes plus a whole pile of new blocks and items. If you love wandering off to see what's over the next hill, this one's for you.[1]
All the Mods 10 5.0 ships Regions Unexplored version 0.5.6.1 for NeoForge 1.21.1, and it's been in the pack since version 2.25 or earlier. That's an older release than the latest one on the mod's project page, which lists Terrablender as a dependency for versions 0.5.9 and below.[1][2]
Unverified The project page says the mod has 64 new biomes, but that page describes the latest release. The exact biome count in version 0.5.6.1, the version in this pack, hasn't been confirmed.
Where it fits in the pack
Regions Unexplored is mainly about exploring, but builders get something from it too. The pack's questbook features it in the Building Tips chapter. The mod lets you paint Planks the same way you'd dye Wool or Glass, so you get colors like Red Painted Planks, Light Blue Painted Planks and Black Painted Planks.[3]
- The quest "Painted Planks" quest unlocks after the Colored Blocks quest. Getting any one of the painted plank colors completes it.[3]
How do you get started with Regions Unexplored?
5 parts
Regions Unexplored is a biome mod, so your first steps here are less about crafting and more about getting out into the world. It overhauls how the Overworld and Nether generate, adding 64 new biomes and a big pile of new blocks and items to find along the way.[1]
The mod's own advancements show you the main goals: explore all of its Surface biomes, find all of its Cave biomes and venture into all of its Nether biomes. Use them as a checklist while you wander.[4]
Step 1: Chop the new trees
Punch every new tree you run into. There is an advancement for collecting every log from Regions Unexplored, and another called This Tree Bleeds Red for chopping down a Socotra tree. Logs like Baobab Log, Maple Log, Redwood Log and Socotra Log are all part of that collection.[4][5]
Step 2: Turn logs into planks
Planks are the base of almost everything else in each wood set, so make them first. Here is the Baobab version as an example; the other wood types have their own plank recipes too.[5]
Crafting Shapeless
- any baobab log
Recipe id: regions_unexplored:baobab_planks
Step 3: Build out the wood set
Once you have planks, each wood unlocks a full set of blocks. For Baobab that includes doors, fences, fence gates, buttons, pressure plates, hanging signs and boats. If you are exploring along rivers or coasts, a boat is a handy early craft, and you can upgrade it to a Baobab Boat with Chest later.[5]
Step 4: Paint some planks
This is the one quest for this mod in the pack. "Painted Planks" quest sits in the Building Tips chapter after the Colored Blocks quest. Regions Unexplored lets you paint planks just like you would dye Wool or Glass. Any colour of painted planks completes the quest.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| any plank | any plank | any plank |
| any plank | any red dye | any plank |

Recipe id: regions_unexplored:red_painted_planks
Every other colour works the same way with its own dye.
Extras worth knowing
- You can craft branches such as the Acacia Branch and the Baobab Branch for extra decoration detail.[5]
- Shrubs and saplings convert into each other, for example Ashen Shrub and Ashen Sapling.[5]

How does Regions Unexplored work?
5 parts
Regions Unexplored is a biome mod, not a tech mod. It overhauls how the Overworld and the Nether generate, adding 64 new biomes along with a big pile of new blocks and items. So its core mechanics are about the world you explore and the materials you bring home, not machines or power networks.[1]
Unverified None of the available sources describe any machines, multiblocks, power, fluid or item-transport systems in Regions Unexplored. This section can't confirm whether any exist in this pack, so it covers only the systems the sources do show.
Exploring the biomes
The mod's biomes come in Surface, Cave and Nether groups, and its advancements track all three. Pioneer asks you to explore all the Surface biomes, Spelunker asks you to find all the Cave biomes, and Eternal Expedition sends you into every Nether biome. Regions Explored is the capstone for visiting every biome the mod adds.[4]
The advancements also make good collection goals. Mycologist and Ancient Specimens ask for every Bioshroom type and every Bioshroom Stem type, Every Bit of the Rainbow asks you to collect or craft every colour of Snowbelle Flower, and Got Wood asks for every log in the mod.[4]
Plants and blocks that do something
A few of the mod's plants and blocks react to you, and the advancements point them out. Keep these in mind while you explore:[4]
- Dorcel Flowers hurt you if you walk through them, so watch your step.[4]
- You can walk or bounce on Giant Lily Pads.[4]
- You can hang from the vines on Kapok trees.[4]
- Duskmelons and Hanging Earlight Fruit are both things you can eat.[4]
- Socotra trees are worth chopping. There's even an advancement for it, This Tree Bleeds Red.[4]
Wood and building blocks
Most of what you'll bring home is wood. The mod has a long list of log types, including Alpha Log, Baobab Log, Blackwood Log, Brimwood Log, Kapok Log, Redwood Log and Socotra Log. Each wood follows the familiar chain: logs become planks, and planks become slabs and stairs. Here's the chain for Alpha wood, starting with Alpha Planks:[5]

You can also craft a couple of decorative pieces from vanilla acacia: the Acacia Branch and the Acacia Shrub.[5]

Pack-added log recipes
This is where All the Mods 10 changes things. The pack adds its own crafting recipes for every Regions Unexplored log type, from Alpha Log and Ashen Log through Silver Birch Log, Small Oak Log and Willow Log. These recipes don't exist in the standalone mod, so you can craft these logs without tracking down each tree in its biome.[5]

Every Regions Unexplored log has a matching pack recipe like this one.
Ash and Ashen Dirt
Ash is craftable, and it feeds into Ashen Dirt. Ashen Dirt has two recipes: one uses regular dirt and the other uses Peat Dirt.[5]

Unverified The sources don't show how, or whether, you can automate collecting Regions Unexplored materials, for example tree farming with other mods in the pack. Test this in-game before you build around it.
How do you progress through Regions Unexplored?
3 parts
Regions Unexplored is mostly a world-generation and building mod, so the pack doesn't give it a tier ladder like a tech or magic mod. Its quest appears in the Building Tips chapter as "Painted Planks" quest, which unlocks after the Colored Blocks quest.[3]
Step one: the Painted Planks quest
The quest shows off one of the mod's handiest building features: you can paint planks the same way you dye Wool or Glass. The quest completes when you have any one colour, so you only need to craft one of them.[3]
- Finish the Colored Blocks quest in the Building Tips chapter to unlock "Painted Planks" quest.[3]
- Craft any colour of painted planks, for example Red Painted Planks, Light Blue Painted Planks or Black Painted Planks, to complete the quest.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| any plank | any plank | any plank |
| any plank | any red dye | any plank |
| any plank | any plank | any plank |
Recipe id: regions_unexplored:red_painted_planks
Every colour uses the same pattern with its matching dye, and any type of planks works.
The painted planks are mod recipes, so the pack hasn't changed them. Any plank in the planks tag works, so you can use up whatever wood you have lying around.[5]
Once you have painted planks, you can take them further. For example, Black Painted Planks turns into Black Painted Slab and Black Painted Stairs.[5]
Automating the wood: pack-added essence recipes
This is where All the Mods 10 changes things. The pack adds its own recipes that turn Unexplored Wood Essence into Regions Unexplored logs. Once you can farm that essence, you can make logs like Baobab Log, Redwood Log, Magnolia Log, Cobalt Log and Brimwood Log without hunting down their biomes.[5]

Added by the pack. Each Regions Unexplored log type has its own essence recipe.
Turning logs into building sets
Once you have logs, the mod's own recipes turn them into full wood sets. Baobab, for example, gives you Baobab Planks, plus Baobab Stairs, Baobab Slab, Baobab Door, Baobab Trapdoor, Baobab Fence, Baobab Sign, Baobab Boat and more.[5]
Crafting Shapeless
- any baobab log
Recipe id: regions_unexplored:baobab_planks
There are some fun decorative extras too. You can craft branches like Baobab Branch from logs, swap saplings and shrubs back and forth (for example Baobab Sapling and Baobab Shrub), and make Ashen Dirt from regular dirt, Peat Dirt or Silt Dirt.[5]

How does Regions Unexplored work with other mods?
4 parts
Regions Unexplored is mostly about exploring new biomes, but this pack also connects its wood and building blocks to several other mods. Most of these links are recipes the pack added itself, so they won't show up in a standalone install of these mods. Here's how they fit into your base.[1][5]
Mystical Agriculture: grow your logs
The pack adds crafting recipes that turn Unexplored Wood Essence into Regions Unexplored logs. If you're farming essence, you don't have to travel back to a far-off biome every time you run low on a specific wood.[5]
- Covered logs include Alpha Log, Baobab Log, Blackwood Log, Brimwood Log, Cobalt Log and Redwood Log.[5]
- You can also get Ashen Log, Bamboo Log, Dead Log, Silver Birch Log, Small Oak Log and Willow Log, along with the other Regions Unexplored woods such as maple, palm, pine and socotra.[5]

Each log type has its own essence recipe; redwood is one example.
Mekanism and Productive Trees: automated sawing
The pack also adds sawing recipes for Regions Unexplored logs, so you can automate plank production. Mekanism's sawing recipes turn each wood type's logs into its planks and also give you Sawdust.[5]
Sawing (mekanism)
- any baobab log
Recipe id: allthemods:mekanism/sawing/regions_unexplored/baobab_planks
Productive Trees gets matching sawmill recipes for the same woods, including the bioshroom planks like Blue Bioshroom Planks, Green Bioshroom Planks, Pink Bioshroom Planks and Yellow Bioshroom Planks.[5]
Sawmill (productivetrees)
2× Sawdust
- any baobab log
Recipe id: allthemods:productivetrees/sawing/regions_unexplored/baobab_planks
Bibliocraft furniture
If you like decorating, Bibliocraft furniture comes in Regions Unexplored wood styles. Recipes for black Alpha and Baobab furniture appear here, and the pack has changed them from their defaults. The set includes the Black Alpha Display Case, Black Alpha Seat and seat backs such as the Black Alpha Fancy Seat Back, plus Baobab versions like the Black Baobab Display Case and Black Baobab Seat.[5]

Unverified The sources don't say exactly how the pack changed these furniture recipes compared to the originals.
Quests: Painted Planks
The Building Tips quest chapter points you to one of this mod's building features. The "Painted Planks" quest quest comes after the Colored Blocks quest. It explains that Regions Unexplored lets you paint planks the same way you'd color Wool or Glass. Any color counts, from Red Painted Planks to Black Painted Planks, so just make whichever shade fits your build.[3]

1 part
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
Regions Unexplored shows up in one quest in this pack: "Painted Planks" quest, found in the Building Tips chapter. It's a small, friendly one, and it's mostly a nudge to try out the mod's painted planks.[6]
Painted Planks
The quest text points out that Regions Unexplored lets you paint planks as if they were wool or glass. It unlocks after the Colored Blocks quest, so you'll want to finish that one first.[6]
The task is an item check, and any one of the painted plank colors counts: Red Painted Planks, Orange Painted Planks, Yellow Painted Planks, Lime Painted Planks, Green Painted Planks, Cyan Painted Planks, Light Blue Painted Planks, Blue Painted Planks, Purple Painted Planks, Magenta Painted Planks, Pink Painted Planks, Brown Painted Planks, White Painted Planks, Light Gray Painted Planks, Gray Painted Planks or Black Painted Planks.[6]
