The bug
There are various inconsistencies in the generation of biomes - e.g. one biome may not interact with another the same way as its variants would. Below is a table showing the biome(s) affected, a description of how the biomes are affected, an example location (with seed and coordinates), a picture showing the issue, and notes about the way the biomes generate (if necessary).
Picture | Affected Biome(s) | Description | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [media] | Jungle, Jungle Edge, Taiga, Taiga Mountains | Jungles do not generate an edge variant when next to Taigas, but do when next to Taiga Mountains. | Seed: | |
| [media] | Jungle, Jungle Edge, Forest, Flower Forest | Jungles do not generate an edge variant when next to Forests, but do when next to Flower Forests. | Seed: | |
| [media] | Snowy Tundra, Snowy Mountains, Ice Spikes, Snowy Taiga, Frozen River, River | Frozen Rivers only run through Snowy Tundras; regular rivers run through its variants and Cold Taigas. | Seed: | |
| [media] | Mountains, Wooded Mountains, Gravelly Mountains, Gravelly Mountains+, Stone Beach, Beach | Mountains and Wooded Mountains are bordered by a stone beach next to the ocean; Gravelly Mountains and Gravelly Mountains+ are bordered by regular beaches. | Seed: | First described in MC-132429 |

| [media] | Badlands, Eroded Badlands, Desert | Eroded Badlands aren't bordered by a desert when against another biome, however badlands are. | Seed: | First decribed in MC-137066, also described on the Minecraft Wiki |
| [media] | Jungle Edge, Modified Jungle Edge, Swamp Hills | Modified Jungle Edges only generate next to Swamp Hills biomes. | Seed: | First described in MC-140151 |

Modified Jungle Edge (Jungle Edge M) is extremely rare

Jungle Edge is created when a Jungle borders Taiga and Forest variants and all Birch Forest, Dark forest and Snowy Taiga biomes

Snowy biomes that are not snowy tundra spawn with normal rivers instead of frozen rivers

Eroded Badlands aren't always accompanied by a Modified Badlands Plateau - they can occasionally generate by themselves. Also, the plateau variants of biomes aren't always bordered by their normal variants (I'm assuming this is the case for badlands because I've seen a savanna plateau right up against a roofed forest without a savanna in between before).
Thank you for merging my Reports! Now I won't have to make reports on all the individual Problems with Biome Gen!
It's been half a year since I reported this issue, and the tickets which are currently marked as related to this issue aren't closed as duplicate (that was what I expected to happen when I first reported this issue). Could a mod please close the related tickets as duplicate? Thanks!
There is also this issue I Discovered with Jungle Edge M Biomes: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-140151
It would be a good idea to add this also, and this Bug is Probably why Jungle Edge M Biomes are so Rare. I want to help this Post contain every single Biome Bug that I know of, because the more Bugs Found, the closer these bugs get to being Fixed!
"Eroded Badlands aren't bordered by a desert when against another biome..." That's because Eroded Badlands is the border of the Badlands variant "Modified Badlands Plateau."
