Talking about custom biomes in Minecraft Biomes mod, they are super unique with the combination of vanilla Minecraft blocks and new blocks to create a perfect atmosphere for that biome. For example, the Bayou biome is another variation of the Swamp biome, it reuses the water’s color and lily pad in Minecraft, but it also adds new greenery wood with custom shape into the biome, making it so mystery but yet beautiful at the same time. Another beautiful biome of Minecraft Biomes O Plenty mod is the Cherry Blossom Grove, you never see a special biome with pink as a primary color in Minecraft, aren’t you?

Some of the Biomes O Plenty biomes are not just normally generated, but they’re significantly improved by increasing the maximum height of normal terrain in Minecraft and combining with huge structures or trees, to make you feel like you’re so small in a giant scenery. Some of which are Overgrown Cliffs, Eucalyptus Forest, Crag, Coniferous Forest, Redwood Forest, and Volcanic Island.

Not only adding new biomes and blocks to the surface of Minecraft, but Plenty O Biomes also add several new unique biomes to the underground and the Nether as well. Some of them are Fungi Forest, Phantasmagoric Inferno, Polar Chasm, Undergarden, and Visceral Heap. However, the new content in the underground or the Nether is fairly new, so they’re not that great compared to those ones on the surface. If you want to fully experience the new cave system in Minecraft, try YUNG's Better Caves mod instead.

With a lot of new blocks and items added into the game, Biomes O Plenty Minecraft did a great job because most of the new blocks have their own usage, meaning it’s not just for decoration purposes.

For food items like Berry and Wild Carrots, you can use them in more advanced food recipes or just eat them straight away.

Biomes O' Plenty mod adds 7 new ores into the game. They are Ruby, Topaz, Amber, Peridot, Malachite, Sapphire, and Tanzanite.

And just like other custom items in Biomes Oplenty, those gems have special usage too. They can be used to craft into a block for decoration purposes or to craft material for a Biome Finder. But later on, this item was removed from the mod.

The funny thing is, Minecraft Biomes A Plenty mod actually predicts some of the new Minecraft updates. Like the Bamboo Forest biome with a new plant, Bamboo, which is added in Minecraft 1.14 version. The mangrove biome is another example of this. This biome will be likely added to Minecraft 1.19 version.
