# Creating a Biomes O' Plenty World for Your Minecraft Server

Learn how to generate new Minecraft worlds with the mod Biomes O' Plenty on a Nodecraft dedicated server.

**Biomes O' Plenty** is a Forge mod that adds over 50 additional biomes to Minecraft. This guide will explain how to set up your server with this mod so that you can enjoy these biomes in a brand-new Minecraft world.

## Install the Mod

To use **Biomes O' Plenty** on your dedicated server you will need to have the mod installed onto your server. You can find it on Curseforge by itself, or included in many different modpacks!

### Modpacks

Not all modpacks will include **Biomes O' Plenty** on their mod list, so before we make any changes to the server we need to confirm if the mod jar is included in the pack.

- Click on the **Server Files** on the Nodecraft Pro Panel
- Click on the folder named `mods`. This folder will contain all of the mods currently on your server.
- Look through the list of jar files in here or search the **Server Files** in the top right and find the jar file beginning with `BiomesOPlenty`. This jar file will have an associated Minecraft game version and a mod version.
- For example, the modpack Pixelmon from ATLauncher includes Biomes O' Plenty with game version `1.12.2` and mod version `7.0.1.2444`.

### Manual Install

To add this mod to your server manually go to the [Biomes O' Plenty CurseForge site](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/biomes-o-plenty/files) and download one of the jar files from there. When choosing which jar file for the server, here are a couple things to consider.

- The jar file should match the general syntax as described above. `BiomesOPlenty-GameVersion-ModVersion`
- The game version of the mod should match your server's game version. i.e. Biomes O' Plenty 1.15.2 will not work on a 1.12.2 server.

Once you have selected which mod jar you want download the file to your computer and then upload it to the `mods` folder on your server.

## Change World Generation

To have **Biomes O' Plenty** enabled we will need to change how the server is generating a new world. That can be done in two separate places on your Nodecraft server.

### Game Settings

Go to the **Game Settings **page on your server panel and select the **World** tab. Once on this page you should be able to see the **World Type** dropdown menu.

If your server's game version is 1.15 or higher then select `Forge: Biomes 'O Plenty (1.15+)` which will change your World Type to be `biomesoplenty` . If your server's game version is below 1.15 then select `Forge: Biomes 'O Plenty`, which will change your World Type to be `BIOMESOP`.

Once you have selected the correct **World Type** for your server make sure to **save** your changes at the bottom of the page.

### `Editing the server.properties` File

To manually change the World Type for your server, go to your **Server Files **and locate the `server.properties` file. Click on it, then select the **"edit"** button. Find the line `level-type` and change the value there to either be:

- `biomesoplenty` for 1.15 and above
- `BIOMESOP` for 1.14 and below

## Generate a New World

Now that the server's world generation has been changed and **Biomes O' Plenty** has been installed you can now generate your **Biomes O' Plenty** world. If you have not generated a world already on the server, you can simply start your server, and a new world will begin generating. Otherwise, you will either need to delete your previous world or create a new one in **Game Settings** under the **World** tab.
