Biome Generation Mod idea

[Lizarddemon94]

Hello, im just getting started modding, still new to java but I'm making good progress at learning the basics.

I was wondering though, would it be possible to write a mod that changed the chunk gen engine so that it only generated so many chunks at the beginning of the game, and then require the player to get as item to make more chunks generate? I think it should be possible, but i have no idea how to go about doing it.

Any advice on this or just modding in general would be most welcome. (I know its probably a little much to try and attempt just barely starting, but most of what i want to do has to do with the biome and world gen features.)

This would require base edits. But I like the idea.

Yeah Base edits tend to throw mod compatibility out I was thinking though, would i do some sort of get total number of chunks command, then once it gets to a certain amount tell the class that handles generating them to stop generation until it receives a signal from the item? i think that would be the general gist of it, but i have no clue how to set to up lol.
