I have noticed that driftwood is entirely too common on the current version. I know you are aware as I have found many many comments about it on various locations. From looking at a previous github ticket I know that it is hard make a configuration option to adjust the frequency of it in world gen but is it possible to have an option to disable it. I have entire biomes covered in driftwood, so if I can't adjust it I would rather not have it at all.

Driftwood generation is configurable via datapack, as are almost all of our features and most mods features as mojang moves to a more json-driven approach. You can fully disable it through a datapack or change the weight.

I appreciate the response but most people don't know how to even begin using data-packs. This is really only useful for a very small percentage of players.

Unfortunately, that is going to be the future, Mojang is moving more and more towards a data-driven format, making datapacks fairly required. They're fairly easy to pick up and there are many additional mods and sites that help in making them. A large percentage of modded players have learned datapacks due to Mojang's move towards this system! We can't make a config for every single feature and often times because of how late configs are loaded configs can't even work with some data-driven worldgen.

I understand. Well thank you for explaining things so well. Its unfortunate that things are going in that direction, but nothing we can do I guess.
