Hi everyone, I came here to post about my custom biome library for Paper servers. This library doesn't require any external datapacks or dependencies and can be shaded directly into your plugin or used externally if you prefer.

This library is perfect if you have builders on your server and want to change the entire aesthetic of a build or environment.
On 26.1+, you can also use BiomesAPI to change the color of lights that come from blocks, the sky, or anywhere else really.
If you'd like more information or wish to start using BiomesAPI, check out the GitHub page for it: https://github.com/LumaLibre/BiomesAPI
We also have docs available at: https://biomes.lumas.dev

BiomesAPI is incredibly straightforward and easy to use. I've provided a fully working example below:

public final class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin {

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        // Create a basic biome. Your namespace and key should be unique.
        CustomBiome biome = CustomBiome.builder()
                .resourceKey(BiomeResourceKey.of("test", "custombiome"))
                .settings(BiomeSettings.defaultSettings())
                .fogColor("#FFFFFF")
                .foliageColor("#F5F2EB")
                .skyColor("#000000")
                .waterColor("#F5F2EB")
                .waterFogColor("#000000")
                .grassColor("#9D00FF")
                .particleRenderer(ParticleRenderer.of(AmbientParticle.WITCH, 0.01f))
                // Remember that block replacements can only be seen with the PacketHandler as your biome renderer!
                .blockReplacements(
                        BlockReplacement.of(Material.BIRCH_LEAVES, Material.ACACIA_LEAVES),
                )
                .build();

        // Register your biome to finalize it and send it to Minecraft's internal registry.
        biome.register();


        // Change your mind later? No problem! Let's modify something:
        int red = 0xFF0000;
        biome.foliageColor(red);
        biome.modify(); // Connected players must re-log to see changes!
    }

}
