The interactions between a biome and another biome and its variants are inconsistent
The bug
There are various inconsistencies in the generation of biomes - e.g. one biome may not interact with another the same way as its variants would. Below is a table showing the biome(s) affected, a description of how the biomes are affected, an example location (with seed and coordinates), a picture showing the issue, and notes about the way the biomes generate (if necessary).

Hi there!
This looks like a duplicate of MC-138801. Make sure to do a quick search for your bug before posting it, and then vote for it, comment on it, and follow it. This is the best way for it to be prioritized by Mojang. Making a duplicate post means more work for the volunteers who help out to moderate and clean things up for the developers to look at and fix what needs to be fixed.
"Eroded Badlands aren't bordered by a desert when against another biome..." That's because Eroded Badlands is the border of the Badlands variant "Modified Badlands Plateau."
Eroded Badlands aren't always accompanied by a Modified Badlands Plateau - they can occasionally generate by themselves. Also, the plateau variants of biomes aren't always bordered by their normal variants (I'm assuming this is the case for badlands because I've seen a savanna plateau right up against a roofed forest without a savanna in between before).
Thank you for merging my Reports! Now I won't have to make reports on all the individual Problems with Biome Gen!
It's been half a year since I reported this issue, and the tickets which are currently marked as related to this issue aren't closed as duplicate (that was what I expected to happen when I first reported this issue). Could a mod please close the related tickets as duplicate? Thanks!
There is also this issue I Discovered with Jungle Edge M Biomes: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-140151
It would be a good idea to add this also, and this Bug is Probably why Jungle Edge M Biomes are so Rare. I want to help this Post contain every single Biome Bug that I know of, because the more Bugs Found, the closer these bugs get to being Fixed!
Thank you Bottle Rocket Bosley! I've now added your information to this report.
