BiomeJungle

BiomesJungle (BETA) Description

Step into a completely new side of Valheim — a dense, vibrant, and dangerous Jungle biome full of life, mystery, and untamed nature.

BiomesJungle is a large-scale expansion mod that introduces a new biome designed to feel alive, immersive, and constantly evolving.

From thick vegetation to exotic creatures and ambient wildlife, the Jungle brings a fresh survival experience unlike anything in vanilla Valheim.

BETA WARNING (Please Read) (click to expand)

This mod is currently in active BETA.

That means a lot of core systems are still NOT implemented yet.

🚫 Not yet available (Work in Progress)

• Armor sets
• Full weapon progression system
• Custom food system
• Dungeons and explorable structures
• Advanced loot and progression balancing
• Bosses and endgame content

These features are planned and actively being developed, but they are NOT fully present in the current version.

Please keep this in mind before installing.

BIRDS AI (click to expand)

The jungle is not just populated — it behaves like a living ecosystem.

Birds are not static or decorative. They feature custom behavior systems, including:

• Independent AI (not vanilla behavior)
• Active during the day
• Sleep at night
• Land and perch on surfaces
• Fly dynamically through the environment
• Custom ambient sounds

This system makes the biome feel alive and reactive, instead of just populated.

IMPORTANT NOTES (click to expand)

World Generation

• This mod ONLY works on new worlds
• You must create a new map for the Jungle biome to generate correctly
• Using an existing world will NOT generate the biome.

World Generation Time

Generating a new world with BiomesJungle will take longer than usual.

• Expected time: 10 to 20 minutes

This is normal due to the complexity and density of the biome.

Biome Density

The Jungle biome is highly detailed and dense:

• Around 4500 to 6000 instances
• Comparable to Meadows and Black Forest

FINAL NOTES (click to expand)

This is just the beginning of the Jungle.

You may encounter:

• Bugs
• Missing systems
• Placeholder content

That’s expected during this stage. Updates will continue as the biome evolves into a complete experience.
