There were changes to biome calculation whenever new biome types were added. Spawn and the area around it is an ocean biome, despite being several kinds of forest, hills, and plains. A kilometer south of me, there's a village, and it's right next to what is now a very green and mycelium-free landlocked mooshroom "island."

Existing chunks should no longer change the biome they are, as that information is now recorded with the biome data, but more changes are always coming, so what exists as we push the edges back will always be messed up. Until they implement a smooth transition that looks at the existing terrain rather than the calculated terrain (doubtful).

I've not had much luck connecting to the server since it went down (the message above). Pings have been in excess of 1 second, sometimes exceeding 1700ms. Haven't been on today though, caught something while driving my sister to/from work over the weekend, hiding from it in bed as much as I can.
