Small Biomes
by kirobyte4
Small Biomes shrinks the biome layout of a world by scaling the noise that places biomes, so each biome covers less ground.
What it does
Small Biomes changes how large the biome regions are during world generation, making the world feel more crowded with different terrain. It has to run on the server, while players may add it on their own client. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, all for 1.21.4, and the code is under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Smaller biome regions
Scale adjustments to the biome noise shrink each biome region, so a single area holds several biome changes.
Data pack option
The same scaling can be applied through a data pack, for servers that prefer not to install a mod.
Vanilla and modded biomes
With only vanilla biomes the result looks tidy, while some biomes added by other mods can look odd at the smaller scale.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

This datapack/mod adjusts the scale of biome noises by about 2x in order to shrink biomes in the world. I can't guarantee compatibility with other worldgen packs and mods. It looks fine with only vanilla but it will almost definitely look goofy with certain biome mods that add many biomes. Probably incompatible with…
