Biome categories
Biome categories are used by several game mechanics:


 * Any biomes in the category  are considered part of the ocean temperature category; other temperature categories are controlled by the biome's temperature value. This means that biomes in the   category should typically be placed near each other.
 * Biomes in the categories  and   play the underwater music instead of their normal music when the player is underwater.
 * Zombie sieges and patrols do not spawn in biomes in the category.
 * Rabbits spawning in biomes in the category  always have the desert skin, unless they are in a biome with   set to.
 * Mobs in the  category spawn much less often in biomes in the category.
 * Ocean monuments do not spawn in any biome which isn't in the category  or.
