Biomes O' Plenty in Beta

[Lieutenant Damn]

I've noticed that Biomes O' Plenty has replaced Extrabiomes XL in the FTB 1.5.2 Beta pack. Is there a reason for this? Also, what do you guys prefer of the two mods?

P.S - Let me know if this is in the wrong forum section, this seemed like the most sensible place.

I prefer Bop, but I have just set it up as I was bored with the way way too many snow biomes that spawn with EB, I made the staff & went off to the land of plenty, man its a tad ridiculous & not a boime I intend spending a lot of time, but I had to go look.

If I had to guess I would say it is the difference in quality. BoP has some very pretty biomes compared to EBXL.

I like the saturation of colour better in Extra Biomes XL, but I prefer the general feel of exploring in BiomesOPlenty.
I must admit I went and tweaked the BoP config asap so I would not generate biomes with sky colours that hurt my eyes.

Oh Mjw, that's because you have to go edit the mod pack and enable Biomes of Plenty for the newest beta 152ngt.
I'm not sure if it's also automatically set as disabled on the 152wgt beta pack as I haven't yet tried that one.

You need to enable the mod in the pack and then modify the config file so it enables the biomes (something like "Add Biomes to Default World").

its in the config sec I'll find it, about half way down the BoP config file change false to true on default world gen.

If by list you mean the modpack description, that's likely because it is disabled by default.
