My server has disabled taint world generation and spreading, yet I still want to create a tainted biome along with taintacles and so on. Does anyone have an idea how to create such a biome?

I have Advanced Thaumaturgy and Thaumic Tinkerer at my disposal aswell.

overflow a chunk with taint in a crucible?
 
If you have Advanced Thaumaturgy you can just make a tainted node, which create a tainted area around them even with the spread off.
 
If taint spread is disabled, almost no way exists to actually get a taint biome. Taint biomes appear when fibrous tendrils appear and spread far enough. Without those spreading(which is what allows a taint biome to spread), no tainted biomes appear. So no matter how badly you muck up your infusion processes or how much you overflow your crucibles, the fibrous tendrils that spawn end up doing very little.

You end up with two options: Tainted Nodes(which are rare as all hell without the Node Modifier), or the Ecological Transmuter, from Technomancy, which can change wide swaths of land into either a magical forest, tainted land, or remove the effects of either of these biomes(thus turning them back to their old type if I understand correctly). Personally I suggest the latter, as it can both clean the land and taint it, both on a massive scale.
 
I just thought of something... a taint biome is a biome... so perhaps you may get a taint biome page from mystcraft and create an age that's completely filled with taint biomes...

Dont think tainted biomes comes as a mystcraft page, BUT if you make the Wand Focus: Primal and spam is as crap it will create taint

Again, is it changing the Biome directly, or does it spawn fibrous tendrils? One is the effect of the other(namely the former being caused by the latter). And if taint spreading is disabled, no matter how much you desire taint, no amount of fibrous tendrils will help you.

Unless... Tainted Creepers exists, yes? Do they still work like they did in TC2? As in taint the area they 'splode in; in addition to having a pretty big kaboom? I don't mean spawn fibrous tendrils in this case either. I mean instant taint biome.
 
I actually did not need a whole tainted biome, I just needed a mob that dropped something the the taint-aspect on it. Overfilling the crucible spawned tainted slimes which in return drop tainted goo, thus my goal was reached. Thanks everyone for their effort.

This would have been a lot more useful to know then just you saying that you need a tainted biome.
 
For anyone who cares: tainted sheep can create a taint bloom that will grow when they 'eat' the grass. This does bypass disabled spread, though. Kill the taint sheep if you don't want taint.

I can confirm that this is a thing.

Tested out Mystcraft on a creative world the other day. Got a tiny biomes world of Taint and desert.
