Fabric's Biome Api Reforged
by trinsdar
Fabric's Biome Api Reforged is a Forge library that ports the Fabric biome API so biome mods built on it can run on Forge.
What it does
The port was made because biome mods on Forge conflicted with one another. Several biome mods added biomes to the overworld through different methods, and they often clashed. The author notes that the nether and end get no equivalent support, so any mod that replaces a nether or end biome provider causes further conflicts. The mod is meant to give Forge biome mods a single shared approach.
Installation is for players and server owners who run biome mods on Forge, and for mod developers who want to add biomes through this API. The author states the project is still alpha, so behavior may change. The author also hopes other mod developers will use it, and notes that the Fabric biome API is not supported by every Forge biome mod yet.
The library runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source. Forge 1.16.5 – 1.19.2 is the target range, with files for 1.16.5, 1.18.2 and 1.19.2; the latest Forge file is 3.0.1 for 1.19.2.

What the author says
Fabric's Biome Api Reforged is a port of Fabric biomes api to forge, made becuase I've realized that the biome mod situation on forge is currently a mass, and I really realized it when I tried porting Terrestria to forge. I hope this can solve the issue by being a unilaterally used api by 1.16 forge biome mods…
