I apologize if i am using this wrong i'm new here.
How would i go about installing this mod, do i need better terrain and better biomes both?
when i have Better Biomes 3.2.1 jar in the mods folder it isn't detected and i do not know how to install the better terrain one with the .class files within a .zip file
am i missing a dependency or something?
Better Terrain is the base addon which adds the framework for world gen modification and a set of vanilla-esque biomes. Better Biomes is an addon on top of Better Terrain which adds many new biomes, but does not function on its own. If you want to use Better Biomes you have to have them both installed.
Bug report for BTA (confirmed by myself and SolarFlare on the discord): upon creating a new Skylands map, the in-game UI hangs at "Building terrain". At the same time, this exception is printed to the logs:

Check in the options menu to see if relaxed mode is actually selected. If you made the world in 3.2.1 then it would've been set at world creation to standard. Updating BTA doesn't change that, it only fixes an issue on world creation. Whatever it was set to doesn't change automatically, just change it under options.

Yeah looks like you have to manually set the game mode to relax after creating the new world since it's defaulting to standard even if you select relax on world creation screen. Not a big deal, more of an FYI.
In creative mode, I flew around the entire 16x16 map and didn’t find a single village, is this normal? I generated a new world 3 times. Having generated vanilla, the village was found in 2 minutes
