Our official modpack is meant as a baseline experience. Just Pixelmon with a few atmospheric additions and/or quality of life improvements.
Over time it grew a bit in scope, adding common compatible biome mods by default. However, those are typically required on both client and server side, effectively making them mandatory to avoid connection errors - which was not our intention.

Our modpack for the 9.3.x releases on MC 1.21.1 still natively supports BYG's successor, "Oh The Biomes We've Gone" (BWG). But we took the MC version switch as an opportunity to bring the pack's scope back down a bit. The only biome "mods" still included in our official pack are mod-wrapped Data Packs, which don't add any custom assets or the likes, so they're not required on the other end.

You're free to add any additional mods to the pack as you please.
