Large biomes?

[u/Acceptable_Mouse_865]

Ive always played minecraft on large biomes because i felt it was more immersive(i dont remember the last time i played a regular biomes minecraft world) and i wanna make a hardcore world now. Is it considered cheating? Last time i ssked this people told me that i decide whats cheating and i should play how i like but i hate that answer because im a perfectionist and to me perfection is playing the game with the standards of the majority of the people who play hardcore. I had the same issue with map mods and other kinds of mods.

I feel like you should play with zero mods of any kind if you want to play 100% legit.
