+	Important: MC also takes the terrain into account while MT biomes so far don't care about the
+	terrain at all (except height).
+	MC has many “M” and “Hills” variants, most of which only differ in terrain compared to their original
+	counterpart.
+	In MT, any biome can occour in any terrain, so these variants are implied and are therefore
+	not explicitly implmented in MCL2. “M” variants are only included if they have another unique feature,
+	such as a different land cover.
+	In MCL2, the MC Overworld biomes are split in multiple more parts (stacked by height):
+	* The main part, this represents the land. It begins at around sea level and usually goes all the way up
+	* _ocean: For the area covered by ocean water. The y_max may vary for various beach effects.
+	          Has sand or dirt as floor.
+	* _deep_ocean: Like _ocean, but deeper and has gravel as floor
+	* _underground:
+	* Other modifiers: Some complex biomes require more layers to improve the landscape.
+
+	The following naming conventions apply:
+	* The land biome name is equal to the MC biome name, as of Minecraft 1.11 (in camel case)
+	* Height modifiers and sub-biomes are appended with underscores and in lowercase. Example: “_ocean”
+	* Non-MC biomes are written in lowercase
+	* MC dimension biomes are named after their MC dimension
+
+	Intentionally missing biomes:
+	* River (generated by valleys and v7)
