This is the first tutorial in a short series on how to add custom biomes to Java Edition through data packs! It's also a continuation of the longer custom dimension series.

In this video I do not cover structure generation, mob spawning, custom carvers or custom features, those videos are coming soon!

(To clarify, this is the 3rd in the whole custom worldgen series, but the 1st in the series about biomes!)
