No More Snowy Biomes
by MasterOWS
No More Snowy Biomes stops new snowy biomes from generating in the overworld, so chunks created after it is installed contain no snow biomes.
What it does
Once the mod is in place, the overworld generator skips the snow biomes listed by the author, which include Snowy Plains, Ice Spikes, Snowy Taiga, Snowy Beach, Snowy Slopes, Frozen Peaks, Jagged Peaks, Frozen River, Frozen Ocean and Deep Frozen Ocean. Chunks that were already generated keep whatever biome they had, so a world that has explored snowy terrain keeps it, and only newly generated areas are affected.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join a server running it without installing anything. Other biome mods can still add snowy biomes back, and the author names Terralith and Tectonic as examples that work with snowy biomes added by another mod. The release is for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, and it is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Snow biome removal
The overworld generator stops producing the listed snow and frozen biomes in newly created chunks.
Existing terrain untouched
Chunks generated before the mod was installed are left as they are, including any snowy biomes they already contain.
Icy water and peaks excluded
Several icy water and mountain biomes are among those removed from generation, while existing terrain stays as it was.
Compatibility with other biome mods
Biome mods such as Terralith and Tectonic can still add snowy biomes, since the removal applies only to vanilla-style generation.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want an overworld without snow biomes in newly generated terrain. Worlds that already contain snowy areas keep them, so the mod suits a world started with it installed.

What the author says
Removes all snowy biomes from generating in the overworld. If your playing on a world that has already generated snowy biomes, then nothing will happen with those chunks. but newer generated chunks in the same world cannot contain snow biomes.
