Ecologics: Enriching Vanilla Biomes

Ecologics improves various vanilla biomes with new mobs, blocks and features, all in the vanilla art style. This guide covers what it adds.

The Coastal update

Ecologics' signature additions bring beaches to life: Coconut Trees grow on the beach biome, and fully grown coconuts can fall — watch your head, as a falling coconut can hit you. Some coconuts break into food, and sometimes a Coconut Crab pops out instead. These crustaceans are tough, their coconut-shell backs shrugging off several hits, and they fight back if attacked — but breaking the shell leaves them vulnerable.

Vanilla-true design

Everything Ecologics adds is designed to feel like part of the base game, so the new mobs, plants and blocks blend into their biomes rather than standing apart. The mod enhances environments you already know instead of adding a separate system.

Getting started

Explore the improved biomes — starting with beaches for coconuts and coconut crabs — to gather the mod's new foods, materials and creatures. Ecologics rewards revisiting familiar biomes that now have more to offer, with more environments enriched as the mod grows.
