Minecraft Continents mod guide

Minecraft has a unique terrain generation. The game's world is procedurally generated and is almost endless, with various land and ocean biomes. In recent versions, the game's world mostly has landmasses with smaller oceans between them. This change was made so that you are not completely lost and bored with massive oceans.

Since Minecraft Java Edition can have all kinds of third-party features, the community came up with a mod called Continents. This mod completely reshapes the world, generating much larger landmasses that look like continents, and placing large oceans between them. Here is more information about the mod.

Continents is a mod that transforms Minecraft's world generation into something far more engaging by creating massive continent-like landmasses.

This mod gives exploration a realistic sense of scale through continent-like generation that is divided by massive oceans. These continents have various dispersed biomes that you can explore. After that, you will have to cross oceans and find new places by boat or another method.

Each continent has a range of biomes with seamless and organic transitions between them. The continents offer large areas that are ideal for long-term projects, building, and survival, in contrast to vanilla Minecraft, where the terrain might feel haphazard and claustrophobic.

The mod is especially appealing for multiplayer servers, where several players can establish kingdoms or civilizations across different continents.
