Set Spawn Biome lets a server pick which biome a newly generated world starts in, instead of the default plains.

What it does

When a world is created, the first spawn point a player receives is placed in the biome chosen in the config file. The default is plains. Modded biomes can be named in the config as well, so the starting area is not limited to vanilla biomes. The mod is a server mod: players join without installing it.

Key features

Starting biome choice
The biome of a newly generated world is set in the config, so a fresh world begins in the chosen terrain.
Default is plains
If no other biome is set, the config keeps plains as the starting biome.
Modded biome support
The config accepts biomes added by other mods, not only the ones built into the game.

Questions

Does Set Spawn Biome need to be installed on the client?

No. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.

Does the mod change worlds that already exist?

The starting biome applies to newly generated worlds, so the setting matters when a world is created.
