Minecraft is a game known for being dynamic in every aspect, from its world and terrain generation to its mobs and various interactive items. The presence of a number of different biomes only solidifies its stance as being ever-changing. Each biome has distinct qualities and features that set it apart, like the rate of mob spawning or the generation of structures.
There are a total of 61 biomes and sub-biomes in Minecraft. These are divided into seven categories according to the biome’s temperature. The categories are snowy (snowy plains, ice spikes), cold (taiga, windswept hills), temperate (plains, jungle, forest), arid or warm (desert, savanna, badlands), nether, and the end.
Additionally, cave biomes include lush and dripstone caves, while aquatic biomes include warm oceans, frozen oceans, and more. This article will tell players about some useful and useless biomes in Minecraft.
Biomes in Minecraft: 3 biomes worth exploring (and 3 to avoid)
The following three biomes are effective in many ways:
1) Badlands biome
tougher biomes to find in the game. Dead bushes can be found almost everywhere, preventing the player from running out of sticks to craft new weapons or tools.
Additionally, the number of abandoned mineshafts and gold ore is significantly greater in this biome than in other biomes, leading to a ton of discoverable loot.
2) Desert biome
While soul sand valleys can be incredibly annoying to travel through, what with skeletons and ghasts shooting the player and the soul sand slowing them down, they have a higher chance than other biomes to spawn Nether fortresses.
Note:The aforementioned biomes are not ranked according to progression difficulty or how beginner-friendly they are. They solely focus on some effective loot and interesting structures.
3 biomes to avoid in Minecraft
The following three biomes are aptly described by the phrase, “get in and get out”:
1) Swamp biome
Swamp biomes contain a ton of trees and vines. Also, mobs like pigs and slimes can be found here. However, it can be pretty annoying when trying to traverse this biome, whether it is on foot or in a boat, hitting lily pads along the way.
2) Basalt Deltas
tridents and magma blocks sucking players down. Nothing more needs to be said.
