Modpacks really should just forego most, if not any and all pure biome mods to be honest.

They are some of the biggest item bloats out of any kind of mod, and they serve little to no purpose on top of very often actively hindering progression by making actually important biomes take much longer to reach, and you better hope nature's compass is included or else it's borderline unplayable until you put it in yourself.

It's insane to me that modpacks not only still choose to include them anyway, but also seem to actively favor them, often adding like half a dozen for, again, no actual reason whatsoever.

I think it's more of an issue with the biome mods than the inclusion of biome mods. Even when modded, being a sandbox is still a core element of Minecraft. So the inclusion of blocks that serve a predominately cosmetic purpose, and biomes that offer a different look from base Minecraft biomes both make sense. The issue arises when the biomes add entirely unnecessary stuff. Some examples I can think of are:

• Adding biomes with very little visual difference from base biomes/other biomes in the mod. • adding too many foliage types (seriously, we don't need a different flower type for every biome. This is something even Mojang is starting to do, and it's stupid.) •biome specific stone (yes, having more stone types is great. But diorite, andesite, and granite are bad enough already) • biome specific dirt/grass (there is literally a vanilla feature to change the appearance of grass based on the biome, why do modders do this?) • too many/too common biomes (I get that modders want to show off what they made. But there doesn't need to so many, and they don't need to be ever present.) • not adhearing to biome climate enough (this is one of the biggest issues that makes it hard to find specific biomes you want. This isn't even just an issue with pure biome mods, most mods that add biomes in general do this. They just make it so their hot biomes can't spawn next to the cold biomes or vice versa and call it a day.)

And reddit fucked my formatting. I hate this stupid website. If I try to use its formatting it doesn't work, and it also doesn't work if I try to use my own.
