This mod's biomes are great for replacing the default ones in minetest game, featuring great variety and looks. At the time of writing this, there are about 30, which include the nice banana grove biome, interesting fiery one, or the blue frost with blue trees and grass.
It even adds some more food and items, like japanese food, a fishing rod, and even crystal tools, which are slightly better than diamond.
However, it has some big issues. On example, I recommend you to disable the sakura and mushroom biomes, since they appear too often and the mushroom one looks disgusting.
It also sometimes has inconsistently high-res textures on some blocks, which the author doesn't want to fix (I think I heard him saying that he's really proud of those textures, so doesn't want to remove them, but don't know the source)! This is an issue that many of 11's I mean TenPlus1's mods share, and it is infuriating. I'm planning to make a texture pack fixing this one day though.
Well, but guess what? Tenplus1 actually invited me to replace the ultra realistic 4K HD textures of the mod! I was very excited, so I decided to help, and not only I got more comfortable with GIMP, but also finally fixed not only most of the ultra realistic textures, but also some others such as frost/healing trees and tested the new biome layout TenPlus1 decided to make in order to fix mushroom and sakura appearing too often. Enjoy!
The conclusion is: this is a great mod for adding many more biomes and features, such as new tools, food and blocks, and doesn't have issues such as constant inconsistent textures or sakura and mushroom biomes everywhere.
@NameNotQualirt - Please keep this information to the git repo so it doesn't spam mod reviews. All 32px textures have been replaced with smaller suitable versions, candles are animated and have all frames in one texture so will not be changed.

This is because the temperature/humidity assignment is uneven. TenPlus1 says it's intended behavior but I'm not quite convinced. (ERROR: Just noticed that they have been updated sorry)

@NameNotQuality - Texture submissions are more than welcome to replace the current one's.

That's great! I wouldn't even believe earlier that a mod made by you with custom textures can have no inconsistencies...
I decided to first identify the high-res textures and made a file similar to the following (char limit), you can view it:

Yes, they updated. You are welcome to test the new biome layout and share your experience on the forums.
