biome generation strangeness

sup.

ive been trying to make my biome appear properly in the overworld for a couple days now, but it seems as if that all it ever does is place my biome on the very rim of a river which then goes along it as this terribly narrow strip and then stops. what its supposed to do is act as something like a forest, which should preferably spawn near other types of forests or the plains. the main thing that confuses me is the biome generation temperature stuff and i just cant figure it out. do yall have some values that could work for that?

thanks!

It's possible you have your biome set to generate at very low elevation? I recommend checking out the wiki's guide on biome temperature, and, (more recently), elevation, all of which are important in determining how common your biome actually is.

Elevation is exactly what it sounds like; biomes like swamps are set to generate at low elevations, where biomes such as groves require higher elevation to generate.
Temperature forms large areas of biomes with similar temperatures. High temperatures result in mesas, jungles, deserts, etc; medium temperatures results in temperate biomes such as plains and forests, and low temperatures result in cold biomes such as snowy plains, snowy taigas, etc. If your biome has a very high or very low temperature, it's possible it's just not finding valid places to generate.
...Lastly, you might just want to try adjusting your biome's priority to see if this is the issue.
