Biome Grass Available
by fapdos
Biome Grass Available adds grass blocks in several biome colors, such as desert, plains, snowy and swamp, that are offered only in the creative inventory for map builders.
What it does
The blocks are made for mapmaking. A builder who needs a specific grass color for a map can place it without changing the biome of the area, which is the usual side effect of standard grass. Each colored block stays in its own tint when placed next to another, so the blocks can be mixed freely in one build.
The mod is not meant for survival progression: its blocks are creative-exclusive and do not appear in normal recipes or as loot. The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1, with files for 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and both the server and every player need it.
Forge is the only loader the mod is published for. Its license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. The latest file, 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, dates from 2023-09-27, and the first release was published on 2023-09-10.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits map makers and builders who work in creative mode and need a particular grass color. Players who only want survival content will find no use for the blocks, since they are not available in normal play.
How it compares
Tinted Grass is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that also works with both sides, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Portable Grass is a Forge mod for 1.18 – 1.20.6 under the same license. Biome Grass Available covers older versions, from 1.16.5 onward, and only Forge, so it reaches the earliest releases of the group.
