About Old biomes

From Modrinth

This mod will bring back the removed biomes from the game of minecraft. These biomes were removed with the adventures update in beta 1.8.

Ice Desert: Unlike the regular desert, the ice desert is covered with snow and ice; in addition, there are no cacti or dry bushes in the ice desert.

Tropical Forest(Rainforest):The rainforest has oak trees and lots of tall grass and ferns.

shurbland:A biome with few trees and no tall grass. It is identical to the savanna biome. Along with swampland, it was one of the smallest biomes in the game.

Seasonal Forest:This biome is located near regular and rain forests and plains. Seasonal forest, unlike regular forest, contains fewer trees and tall grasses; it also lacks birch trees. In the seasonal forest, water bodies are more common than in the regular forest.
