Larger biomes
by D_Greg_D
Larger biomes is a worldgen mod that makes biomes bigger, including the Large Biomes preset and the sizes between the Large Biomes and Default world presets.
What it does
Biome regions are stretched so that a world holds fewer, larger areas of each biome. The mod targets the Large Biomes preset and also enlarges the sizes that sit between Large Biomes and the Default presets. Because it changes world generation, the server needs it; a client can join without installing it. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, across 32 release versions 1.18 – 26.3, under All rights reserved. It is compatible with some other worldgen data packs but not with most of them.
Key features
Bigger biome regions
Biome areas are enlarged so each biome covers more of the generated world.
Large Biomes preset
The Large Biomes world preset is enlarged, giving a wider spread of each biome.
Intermediate sizes
Biome sizes between the Large Biomes and Default presets are also increased.

What the author says
Makes the size of biomes right in between Large Biomes and Default world presets so they are bigger but not too huge. Might be compatible with some other worldgen datapacks but probably isn't compatible with the majority of them.
