DISCLAIMER: This pack is not compatible with datapacks that modify biome distribution or add their own biomes to the Overworld. Mods or datapacks that change the features of vanilla biomes should be fine.
In the base game, the Pale Garden biome can only generate by replacing Dark Forest biomes on plateaus or high elevations during worldgen, causing them to be particularly sparse or limited in size for particularly unlucky players. This small datapack allows Pale Gardens to replace a larger portion of Dark Forest biomes during world generation, meaning Pale Gardens can be found much more frequently and tend to be much larger. Pale Gardens can now also border bodies of water at sea level, much like their earlier iteration seen in Minecraft Live 2024.
This pack was made with Jacobsjo's snowcapped tool, which I highly reccomend checking out!
