Thank you both for the detailed explanations. Much appreciated!

1) Does having a smaller world size increase the density of biomes? Like, will they be smaller and more closely packed together?
 

2) Does having a smaller world make finding particular resources easier? For instance, finding bees, limestone, or tin?

3) Will having a taller world allow you to mine deeper?

Does anyone know if there is currently a way in-game or a mod that automates panning? Perhaps something like a shaker box or screening system that connects to the windmill? If not, that would be a great project for someone to make one! Wish I knew more how modding works, I would look into doing it myself!

The simplest solution I can think of is to pick up this animal cage mod…

This would allow you to pick up your chickens and separate them as needed. I hope this helps…
