Ore is generating in biomes not listed on the selected restricted biomes

I have an ore that is set to only generate on these biomes

Frozen peaks, Frozen river, Ice spikes, Jagged peaks, snow slopes, snowy beach, snowy mountains,
snowy plains, snowy taiga, taiga_cold_hills, mutated_taiga_cold, taiga, taiga_hills, mutated_taiga

But I'm finding the ore generating in a plains biome.

My only guess, is that maybe there's an issue with mcreator that counts "snowy plains" as a variant of plains, and thus is just generating the ore on ALL variants of the plains
biomes because a variant was included. Though, if this was/is true, then that means it's gonna generate on all variants of beaches, rivers, and mountains as well, which I have not tested if it has.

Any suggestions/tips?

I have another ore that's generating improperly, in the same mod.

I have it set to only generate on these biomes

Jagged peaks, mutated_extreme_hills_with_trees, savanna, savanna plateau, mutated_savanna_rock, snowy_mountains, 
mutated_taiga_cold, mutated_taiga, Windswept savanna

And this ore is also generating on a plains biome.. So that knocks my previous theory out.

Does it generate in the biomes selected? Or only in plains?

Yes, it generates in biomes selected, but also plains.

But it's inconsistent..

There's ores that I have that only generate in dripstone caves, that only generate in dripstone caves..
Ores that only generate in badlands, that only generate in badlands, 
and ores that only generate in the ocean, that only generate in the ocean.

So it's not a universal problem.. Some ores are generating in places they're not supposed to, but not "all" of them..

It's perplexing.

Well, due to this very recent update seeming to help specifically identify biomes under categories when setting them for ore generation, now I'm not even sure if the problem I've reported still even exists.

Guess I'll just have to make a new world and check at some point.

Made a new world, it's somehow gotten worse.

Now that previously mentioned ore that only generated in the ocean, is "also" generating in non-ocean biomes. 

Something is up with the ore generation, specifically with the "Plains" biome.. It's almost like there's some bug focused around the plains biome that makes it count as ALL biomes, because (nearly) every biome-specific ore I've made, I have seen appear, in plains biomes.
