Compatibility
Biome Mods/Data Packs
Data packs that modify world generation, like Tectonic or Lithosphere, are not compatible.
Data packs that add biomes to the overworld are not compatible. Data packs that change biomes without altering the surface rule (e.g., changing blocks that are painted on the terrain, such as grass and then dirt in most biomes, while deserts have sand and sandstone) are compatible.
Terralith is compatible when using the mod version.
Mods that add biomes and change the surface rule through modding (like BOP and WWOO) are compatible.
Mods that change biomes without altering the surface rule, or change it through modding, are compatible.
For compatibility, place it above mod data.
Other
If it doesn't change world generation with noise settings, it should be compatible.
