I suggest that the river biome not be an independent biome, but instead a sub-biome. for example: forest river biome, Snowy Taiga river biome, Savannah river biome, and so on...
But why?
well it accrued to me to be a good idea when I stumbled upon a river biome in the middle of a savannah biome. this river biome was raining while the savannah biome couldn't rain as a "dry" biome. this felt off and looked wrong since the river felt so much apart of the savannah, yet it was raining, something the savannah can't do.
which is why I'm suggesting rivers be sub biomes, so that the dry biome variants of rivers won't rain to make it more suiting, causing it looks to strange as it currently is with the weather.... especially in the desert.
also it should snow in the snowy biome rivers, not rain.
oh yeah and grass colour around rivers are lush green in a desert? shouldn't they be sand or at least a dryer colour of grass?
Half-support. While having the same weather as the biome it's connected to would be nice, having very dry grass would not make a lot of sense. Logically, plant life would be better at surviving and having plenty of water if it's beside a river, right?
-You would just have a bunch of small rivers unless two or more biomes generate a River sub-biome that connect to each other. If that statement is true than the places where the biomes connect are likely to not line up nicely.

Well, having the river as a sub-biome would allow for that. The grass could be a little greener by a river in savannas and deserts (not the bright green by rivers now) and it could still prevent rain from falling.

Not necessarily. Extra code would have to be written to assign the river biomes to two groups: The first being the river biome, which determines the terrain generation, the second assigning it to the biome it is surrounded by.

The only other type is the Frozen river one, that's about it. I'm suggesting rivers river variants for everywhere in the Overworld
