Yes, I did search beforehand, and all I found was "thin trees" and "willow trees" that doesn't do anything with this topic. Now, to the post:
Birch forests is a new biome similar to normal forests. Instead, all the trees are birch, allowing easy harvest of them in mass numbers, opposed to normal forests there is a small number of them compared to oak. This would be useful if you want a bunch of the birch logs or the white planks for your house. Heres a screenshot that I made that represents a small part of the forest:
No, there wouldn't be that much grass as the picture shows in a Birch forest.
There could be a variant of Birch Forests suggested by GateFox that's snowy, like the Taiga biome; the idea what it looks like is provided in this image:

Heres a Minecraft version of Snowy Birch Forest screenshot that I made:

Yea, I also disagree. Why don't you just take a bunch of birch saplings, and make your own birch forest?
Cause you have to clear out a piece of land first.

I don't mean that as a bad thing. Horses were a mod, but they became vanilla and are a great addition to the game. But people have done this in more detail and actually implemented it on their own, so this particular thread isn't necessarily needed.
Yes, it is a mod. However this is normal minecraft. The argument to dislike a thread because someone made it a mod is invalid. If people believe an idea is so good from a mod that it should be added to normal Minecraft, then there is nothing wrong with that. As long as they don't make it identical to the mod itself. But something as basic as this, I wouldn't say it should count.

How about we remove caves? Don't like it? Just mine your own caves. See why that argument is invalid?
Now, in my opinion the idea is good. There is no reason why this should not be in the game, and it adds a new type of forest for people to explore, and collect resources from. However, oak forests have the occasional birch tree. I feel as if it should be like that in the birch forest. The occasional oak tree. Aside from that, you have my support.

Well, maybe instead of adding a new biome, they could either replace all oak trees found in forests to birch, or increase the amount of birch trees found in a forest. It would make more sense than adding another forest. If another forest was added, navigation might get confusing. Along with that, people with laggy computers might face lag from the rendering. I am also not saying its not a bad idea, but, another forest, really!? It would also be neat if birch trees were found more commonly, like on Extreme hills, or Ice mountains.

I'm not enthusiastic about the idea, but I don't see how it could hurt. I might prefer forests to become a 50-50 mix of birch and oak, however, or for birch forests to also include the occasional oak.

How could navigation get confusing, and how would it cause lag? I don't see how either of those could occur; navigation would certainly be no more confusing than with a regular forest, and I don't understand how lag would be worse than with any other biome.
I'm trying to insert a picture of a snowy birch forest here.
I'm with this guy! I need to prove to him that snowy birch forests are beautiful!
Like this:
Birch forests actually look really neat in the winter because the white on the bark matches the snowy floor. It can make it easy to get lost inside of it. And by lost I mean just enjoying wandering through it, not actually getting lost.
This wouldn't cause any more lag than a regular birch forest.

Sounds good to me. Could be an alternate snow biome, since birch trees are found in colder climates, I believe... I'd like to see this. Wouldn't mind seeing spruce trees appear occassionally outside of snow biomes, either. Spruce trees are far from limited to cold climates in the real world, so heck, even having spruce forests outside of snow biomes would work... but as far as birch trees, sure, there really isn't any particular reason for birch trees to be so rare.
Let it not be said that I disagree. However, I don't really see a navigation-impeding Birch forest biome as that much of an issue, since it would be no worse than a jungle, tundra, or regular forest biome. You could even have regular forests become less common to make room for Birch forests.

Well, its just, I don't like the whole "forest" idea. Why not a biome called "Birch Woods?" Think of it-not a forest, but, similar to a jungle, but with tall birch trees, very tall. My vision of it looks beautiful.

Well, pine fits better for snow biomes, having birch there might look weird. White tree, white snow.
