In current snapshots, the badlands_plateau
biome no longer generates.
All badlands plateaus are currently wooded_badlands_plateau
Unsure if this is intended, as some biomes such as desert lakes (see MC-236852) were intentionally removed, however wooded_badlands seems the more "special" type, while "badlands" seems to be the regular type.
How to reproduce
Generate a world
/locatebiome minecraft:badlands_plateau
-> ❌ can't find/locatebiome minecraft:wooded_badlands_plateau
-> ✔ can find
Or:
Download https://github.com/slicedlime/examples/raw/master/vanilla_worldgen.zip
Open dimension/overworld.json
Ctrl+F "minecraft:badlands_plateau"
-> ❌ Cannot be found
Expected Behavior
Badlands plateau can generate, or possibly "wooded badlands plateau" is renamed to "badlands plateau"
I just noticed that badlands_plateau is functionally identical with regular badlands (despite the visual differences they had), so this is just another hill biome and thus WAI.
