Vanilla passive creatures not spawning in custom biome

I have a biome called Polar Desert covered in snow and with sand under it and no passive mobs spawn there. However, hostile mobs spawn at night. I have read that passive mobs only spawn on grass, so changed the animals from creature to ambient and they still don't spawn.

I think you need to add a tag to your block, there is a list of common block tags that you can easily add into your mod, and one of them is something like minecraft:valid_spawn and you need your block to have that tag for passive creatures to spawn. I think that should work, but I might have the tag name wrong.
