Minecraft: Biomes Minecraft guide, tips

This page of our guide to Minecraft has information about the biomes available in the game. Since the differences in the biomes are noticeable, we will address this issue on other pages of the guide.

A rarely seen mushroom biome

Biomes are the specific areas within the game, of a characteristic microclimate. In other words, these are the areas whose fauna and flora differ from the other biomes, to a varying extent. There are 5 different types of biomes: snowy, dry, warm, lush, warm and neutral, which also include oceans, among others. Each biome may have smaller sub-biomes where you can find more characteristic areas, like, for example, forest with specific trees or a meadow with flowers.

In total, there are 61 landscapes available in the game. You need to remember that the Nether, or The End are also considered to be separate biomes Also, each biome has landscape characteristic to that biome - e.g. you will not find very high mountains in the deserts. The most important thing, however, is that in the individual biomes, there are the elements of the world that are exclusive to that biome. These may be, for example, Ocelots in jungles, or Mooshroms in a very rarely seen mushroom biome.

In the game, there is temperature distribution exclusive for that area. Apart from the visual phenomena, like rain or snow, this may also matter for the player. For example, in the humid biomes, it is raining most of the time which may result in storms in considerable quantities, during which a lightning may set various items, or even the player, on fire. Also, the Iron Golems melt instantaneously in warm biomes.
