Wintergang

WinterGang turns Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge) into a permanent winter world filled with snow-covered landscapes, improved structures, colonies, advanced building tools, seasonal decorations, and lively villages.
The focus is on immersive atmosphere, exploration, town-building, community play, and long-term survival. The pack is not designed as a hardcore challenge — instead it encourages players to build settlements, explore hand-crafted dungeons, and enjoy the winter aesthetic together.

🌍 World Generation & Exploration

WinterGang enhances nearly every aspect of world generation:

• Biomes O’ Plenty, Ecologics, Alex’s Caves, Alex’s Mobs for new biomes, creatures, unique caves, and environmental variety.
