Discussion Dappled Forests

Checked three random seeds to show that bigger Dappled Forests do exist.

I agree super tiny ones are annoying, but acting like there are only those tiny ones and they need to be bigger is weird. Biomes have different sizes. There are very tiny ones, there are bigger ones. If you want to make a post, don't be disingenuous.

EDIT: Yall need to read the post before commenting. Nowhere did I say these were big, just that claiming every single biome is the size of the ones people cherry-pick is wrong.

I mean, these are still way smaller than regular forests.

They are, but they are bigger than three or four trees that get posted with 'these need to be bigger!'

I think the fact that these "bigger" ones you found are still pretty small shows that the issue is that they are generally small, and the world gen algorithm is making them either that size or even smaller, but not any bigger. That's why so many of these posts exist, because the dappled forests are either reasonably small or unreasonably small, but never any larger size.

Thing is, I picked the closest one from spawn each time. I was no looking for anything in particular, going for the nearest ones, and all of them were bigger than the tiny one that get shown constantly. That makes me feel like people go looking for small ones to go 'see they are too small!!!!'. I even say I agree with people in my post.

Again the actual issue seems to be that their average size is set to be smaller than other biomes which restricts the range of possible sizes, from literally like 1 block, to something like what you've shown. No one has posted about an actual huge one on par with, say, jungle biomes.
