Orbis Novus¶

A new world, and things to find in it.
Orbis Novus is two mods that work alone or together:
![]() |
Orbis Novus: Terrain | realistic mountains, eroded valleys and river networks. One new world type, Orbis Novus, with ten terrain styles, a Custom Mix of any of them, and a Customize screen. |
![]() |
Orbis Novus: Dungeons | 23 dungeon kinds, 30 settlements and landmarks, extra village houses, castles in three styles and walled castle towns, built from the blocks of whatever building mods you have. |
Together, Dungeons' structures generate in every Terrain world type. Apart, Terrain's worlds keep vanilla's and other mods' structures, and Dungeons builds in any world, vanilla or modded.
There's also Orbis Novus Lite, six terrain world types as a plain datapack, for a game with no mods at all.
Versions¶
Both mods are at 1.0.0, the same on every version.
| Minecraft | Loader |
|---|---|
| 26.1.2 | NeoForge 26.1.2.122 or newer |
| 1.21.1 | NeoForge 21.1 (tested on 21.1.233) |
| 26.2 | NeoForge 26.2.0.93 or newer |
| 26.3 | NeoForge 26.3.0.101 or newer |
No other mods needed. Install on the server and the client (in single player, just the client).
The one difference between versions: on 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, Terrain also adds natural features to the Overworld's biomes in every world, not only its own world types (procedural trees, rocks, fallen logs, standing stones, sea stacks, hot springs, waterfalls). The 1.21.1 build doesn't have them yet.
Coming in 1.1¶
- Terrain: six new styles (Folded World, Tidal Continents, Shattered Plates, Sinkhole Karst, Ribbon Rivers and The Bowl), and three new options for every style: Latitude Bands, Erosion Age and Ruins.
- Dungeons: seven wonders, one-off structures such as a galleon in a glass bottle buried in the sand and a village hanging upside down from a cave roof.
