Biome tokens are used to indicate environments for creatures, plants and entities.

All objects that use biome tokens can take multiple entries, so they can be found in many different locations.


To create something that only appears when you discover the cave river, lava, or chasm, use SUBTERRANEAN_WATER, SUBTERRANEAN_LAVA, or SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM

Tokens no longer require BIOME_ in front of them.v0.27.173.38a
