Not selecting a biome for "Floating Islands" world type spawns an empty world

When creating a floating islands world without selecting a biome, the "Ocean" biome is selected by default which causes the world to be almost completely empty (see MC-190083).

To reproduce

  1. Create a Floating Islands world using default options

  2. Enter world

  3. You most likely fall out of world and die

  4. Re-create in creative with cheats, and see there are no islands around you--probably not

  5. Repeat until you spawn on an island

  6. Try with seed 2095025955442124028. You spawn on small island at somewhere around -29.5 49 111.5 (seems to be different each time, but on that island). There is one very small island in sight

So, if no islands within a certain distance, you spawn at 8.5 64 8.5

If there is an island close to that, in which case you will spawn there. I tried ten times and only landed on the one island I mention.

It seems to happen when you select any ocean biome, also happens with the caves setting too

This obviously isn't WAI since it never was an issue in 1.15
