Drain - Natural Biome Changer
Drain adds Roots blocks that change the biome around them when Bonemeal is applied, for Forge on 1.20.1.
What it does
Placed Roots blocks change the biome to match the forest they belong to once Bonemeal is used on them. The block keeps its usual form until Bonemeal turns it, so it can be placed as an ordinary decoration first. Roots are crafted from a Sapling and Bonemeal, and the mod provides variants for different tree types. Drain is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and client and server both need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Biome-changing Roots
Roots blocks turn the surrounding biome into a matching forest after Bonemeal is applied.
Tree-type variants
Separate Roots variants cover different tree types, each producing its own forest biome.
Sapling and Bonemeal crafting
Roots are crafted from a Sapling and Bonemeal, so the biome change fits into normal survival progression.

How it compares
Bonemeal Config is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1, open source under the MIT License, and runs on client and server, but it changes how Bonemeal behaves instead of adding biome blocks. Fossil Bonemeal Ore uses the same loader and version, with the same environment, but it is not open source.
