Add a biome base temperature visualization to your world generation previews and better understand how temperature shapes your terrain.

⭐ Recommended Mods

Temperature Bands (by CosmicDan)

Strongly recommended for best results.
Temperature Bands changes how climate and temperature gradients are organized, making the temperature map view significantly more informative and visually consistent when exploring world generation.

This addon works perfectly without it, but Temperature Bands greatly enhances the experience.

⚙️ Configuration

All options are available directly inside World Preview → Settings → General:

• Enable biome temperature view
• Biome temperature: oceans as gray

Both options default to true for new configs or missing fields.

🔌 Compatibility

• Loader: Forge
• Target Minecraft version: 1.20.1

This addon works with both vanilla and heavily modded biome setups.
Showcase images use mods like Terralith, Biomes O’ Plenty, Tectonic, TerraBlender, and Temperature Bands, but none of them are required.
