how to spawn less grass in a19.2? (nitrogen world)

I'm really not sure where to put this; I thought about writing it up as a possible a19.2 but I don't feel like it's a bug, I feel like I'm just doing something wrong.

Some important info in case it's needed: world was generated with Nitrogen (I know, it's for a19 experimental and a version for a19 stable or above hasn't come out that I'm aware of), everything else is Vanilla. Only modlets I have are Riles' HUD Plus and a working 60 slot backpack mod. 

I can't get grass to lower its spawn rate no matter what I do. I try changing the appropriate biomes.xml file, and have even gone so far as deleting all mentions of grass from the file itself to no avail. Whatever I do, the pine forest biome especially, still spawns with grass. However, it works when changing the line for when those rock garden things spawn. It just doesn't work with Pine Forest Main biome or whatever. 

It's bugging me like crazy because I just don't want all this grass in my world since I've read it bogs down performance, but I have no idea how to get rid of it. Do I have to change something other than the biomes.xml file? I've tried xpath editing and changing the default config file itself, to no avail. 

I just want like. 75-80% less grass in the pine forest and snow biomes.  :(

If anyone has any suggestions please lmk, esp if I did do something wrong/am not doing something right.

Hi vergilsparda

Check out my Less grass mod, it sure works for you.
Greetings




 
if anyone else is still looking at this, the grass has nothing to do with the world generation - nitrogen, rwg, or vanilla. Its in the biomes.xml under decorations. You could change the probability or change the grass to skulls if you wanted.

Hmmm... terrible idea.
