Minecraft Biomes (JE 1.16)

Split into 8 major groupings, there are 75 biomes and biome variants that can naturally generate as of Minecraft Java Edition 1.16.

Biomes are color-coded. Related biomes are sometimes color-coded the same.

Newer and older names for these biomes might not be accepted.

Each biome variant must be named separately. For example, saying just "Hills" won't work.

I thought I should make the s's at the end optional in case somebody would try the singular version of the word. Do you think enough people know about s's that I should make them required? Or maybe I should put a note in instructions?
