Minecraft biomes

Dark forest

A dense canopy keeps the forest floor dim. Watch for mobs beneath the trees. You have a rare chance to find woodland mansions.

Desert

Sand and cacti stretch across a dry landscape. Wood is scarce, so bring supplies before building. Desert temples may contain valuable loot.

Eroded badlands

Layered terracotta forms steep, colorful cliffs. Wood and water are limited in this biome, so plan ahead. Mineshafts may be found here more easily.

Forest

Great biome to spawn in as it provides ample resources and shelter. Look nearby for animals and open clearings.

Frozen peaks

High, icy peaks make travel difficult and offer dramatic views. Watch your footing near steep drops. Bring leather boots so you don't sink into powder snow.

Grove

Spruce trees and snow cover mountain foothills. The cold, wooded terrain can be rugged to cross.

Jungle

Tall trees, vines, and dense undergrowth make the jungle easy to get lost in. Look for bamboo and unique wildlife.

Swamp

Shallow water and mud wind through the trees. Frogs live here, and slimes may appear at night.

Warm ocean

Warm waters contain coral reefs and colorful tropical fish. Bring a boat or water breathing potions to prepare for underwater exploration.
