Feature Recycler
by CorgiTaco
Feature Recycler keeps world generation mods from crashing when their biomes place features in conflicting orders, which otherwise triggers a feature order cycle error at startup.
What it does
Minecraft stops loading a world when two biomes list the same placed features in opposite orders, reporting a feature order cycle. The mod resolves this by reordering each biome's features so they follow the sequence set by an earlier biome that shares the same two elements. The error log shows the biome and feature names involved, and those are the entries this mod works from.
The mod is server-side only: the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it requires Fabric API on every loader that uses it. Feature Recycler is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved, and its source code and issue tracker are publicly linked.
Key features
Automatic feature reordering
Biome features are recycled into a consistent order without any manual editing of the world generation data.
Cycle error prevention
Shared feature lists between biomes are sorted so the generator no longer reports a cycle and fails to start.
Cross-mod biome compatibility
Biomes added by separate world generation mods can share features in different orders and still load together.

Use cases
Stacking world generation mods
A server that runs several biome mods whose placed features overlap can use this mod to avoid the startup crash.
Fixing a crash report
Players who see the feature order cycle message in their log can install the mod instead of removing one of the conflicting biome packs.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run multiple world generation mods on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt, and players who want those mods to load on a shared world.

What the author says
Fixes the "Feature order cycle" error when mods add placed features in different orders between their biomes. It does this by automatically recycling(resorting) their biome features to respect the rules set by a previous biome containing the same 2 elements. It will now also silently log and tell you which features…
