Biome location item incentivizing exploration and how to implement it

There should be maps that can lead you to specific biomes you are looking for, as the game gains more biomes I feel a lot of them take far too long to look for and many players simply use external sources to find their way around their own world. If you want players to keep discovery and exploration inside the game world you need to offer a means for players to locate what they want at a cost. I think a good way of doing this is adding a function to cartography villagers where they can offer maps leading to particular biomes for a steep price as a randomized trade, there could also be an additional function where maybe you offer an item that belongs to that biome naturally such as offering sand to find a desert or offering mud to find a mangrove swamp.

    I think it would make more sense for wandering traders to sell you maps, since they're the ones actually wandering. Instead, you should sell maps to cartographers, since they're the ones staying in the villages.
