Custom Biome by Y level minecraft datapack

I would like anywhere under y28 in the nether to be a custom biome called "nether_depths". I tried using code from the deep dark (since it only spawns deep in the world), but it does not seem to work. How do I change the Y level of biomes?

Answer:
So I ended up figuring it out myself. First, you can set a custom check through use of a density_function with the following value:.
{.
"type": "minecraft:range_choice",.
"input": "minecraft:y",.
"min_inclusive": -32,.
"max_exclusive": 32,.
"when_in_range": 1,.
"when_out_of_range": 0.
}.
In this case, -32 to +32 will pass the check with a value of 1, otherwise the value will be 0.
Then in your corresponding noise_settings file (nether in this case) have depth reference your file (which I called depths): "depth": "minecraft:nether/depths".
Then finally, to add the biome, it's actually not done in noise_settings as I initially expected. It is instead done in the dimension folder. With something to the effect of the following:.
{.
"type": "minecraft:the_nether",.
"generator": {.
"type": "minecraft:noise",.
"settings": "minecraft:nether",.
"biome_source": {.
"type": "minecraft:multi_noise",.
"biomes": [.
{.
"biome": "minecraft:nether_wastes",.
"parameters": {.
"continentalness": 0.0,.
"depth": 0,.
"erosion": 0.0,.
"humidity": 0.0,.
"offset": 0.0,.
"temperature": 0.0,.
"weirdness": 0.0.
}.
},.
{.
"biome": "minecraft:soul_sand_valley",.
"parameters": {.
"continentalness": 0.0,.
"depth": 0,.
"erosion": 0.0,.
"humidity": -0.5,.
"offset": 0.0,.
"temperature": 0.0,.
"weirdness": 0.0.
}.
},.
{.
"biome": "minecraft:crimson_forest",.
"parameters": {.
"continentalness": 0.0,.
"depth": 0,.
"erosion": 0.0,.
"humidity": 0.0,.
"offset": 0.0,.
"temperature": 0.4,.
"weirdness": 0.0.
}.
},.
{.
"biome": "minecraft:warped_forest",.
"parameters": {.
"continentalness": 0.0,.
"depth": 0,.
"erosion": 0.0,.
"humidity": 0.5,.
"offset": 0.375,.
"temperature": 0.0,.
"weirdness": 0.0.
}.
},.
{.
"biome": "minecraft:basalt_deltas",.
"parameters": {.
"continentalness": 0.0,.
"depth": 0,.
"erosion": 0.0,.
"humidity": 0.0,.
"offset": 0.175,.
"temperature": -0.5,.
"weirdness": 0.0.
}.
},.
{.
"biome": "minecraft:nether_depths",.
"parameters": {.
"temperature": -0.6,.
"humidity": 0.0,.
"continentalness": 0.0,.
"erosion": 0.0,.
"weirdness": 0.0,.
"depth": 1,.
"offset": 0.0.
}.
}.
].
}.
}.
}.
Notice how depth is set to 0 for all biomes except my custom one. That means it is most likely out of any other biome to get placed between my specified y values (-32 to +32) as it's depth value matches the value from the check while the others do not.
