MC-244203Flower forests have fewer flowers than in 1.17.1, and they also generate differently
The bug
At world generation in 1.18, flower forest seems to have fewer flowers than in previous versions (1.15-1.17.1). In earlier versions the flowers are evenly spread at all locations. In 1.18 flowers appear more in patches. I have travelled around in a single-biome flower forest world and it seems consistent. Bonemealing produces flowers in the expected way.
How to reproduce
Load up a world in 1.18, locate a flower forest biome.
Load up a world in 1.17.1, locate a flower forest biome.
Observed results
There seem to be fewer flowers generated in 1.18 than in 1.17. In 1.17.1 the flowers appear fairly evenly spread at all locations. In 1.18 flowers appear to be more in patches.
Expected results
On world generation, expected flower distribution in the flower forest to look similar to previous versions.

Created Issue:
Flower forest has fewer flowers at world generation.
Description:

In 1.18 flowers appear more in patches. I have travelled around in a single-biome flower forest world and it seems consistent. Bonemealing produces flowers in the expected way.
Steps to Reproduce:

In old growth pine taiga biomes, poppies and dandelions are able to generate, which looks unnatural considering their environment.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Generate a single biome world, set to Old Growth Pine Tiaga
- Fly around until you find poppies or dandelions
Observed Behavior:
Poppies and dandelions can generate in old growth pine taiga biomes.
Expected Result:
Poppies and dandelions would not be able to generate in old growth pine taiga biomes.

I don't see this necessarily as a feature request or suggestion. The frequency might have been accidentally increased, as many other features had their frequency accidentally changed due to changes in the 1.18 development cycle, e.g. MC-243020, MC-244203. Specifically for pumpkin patches, these changes also caused MC-242578.
Marking as Plausible for now because it seems that, anecdotally, I have encountered more pumpkin patches than in 1.17.1, but this might be biased and a proper analysis may be needed.
Can confirm, flower forests now generate with sparser patches of the same flowers instead of a nice dense mix of different flowers.
