The Biome Conspiracy

The Biome Conspiracy

Postby Master1.0 » November 17th, 2012, 6:02 am

We all love our minecraft biomes, am I correct? They range from jungles to oceans to icy plains. But there's a lot you might not know about them.

Extreme Hills, in fact, have a pretty nasty secret.

Forests are also pretty interesting in their own way because of how easy an adventure can start off because of the huge abundance of wood.

Desert biomes have the most common amount of NPC villages, and they are the only biomes to have a desert pyramid spawn within them. Mobs are highly visible during the night because of how barren and flat deserts can become. Deserts commonly have sugarcane near pools of water. It does not rain in deserts.

Plains biomes can be pretty good for finding exposed caves. NPC villages are also common in this biome. They're the best place for finding passive mobs for food.

Swamps commonly have slimes that spawn on the surface during the night. Witch huts can only spawn in these biomes. Sulegarcane and water are very common. Mushrooms are very common, usually found below a tree. Vines can spawn on trees, being one of two biomes with natural vines. They also have many small islands and lots of clay.

Jungles are the only home to ocelots. Jungle trees can reach up to 31 blocks tall, as of the wiki. The wiki also states that apparently jungle skies are actually brighter. The jungle trees are the only trees with a log density of 2 blocks. Jungle temples commonly spawn in jungles.

Oceans have no size limit. Oceans can often spawn to be almost 25,000 blocks in diameter to 100,000 blocks in diameter. They often have what looks like mountains and plains underneath. Open caves and ravines are very common.

Mooshroom biomes are very different from all the others. The only naturally spawning mob there are the mooshroom cows. Caves can be relatively safe inside of these because of the strange spawn rule. However, monster spawners still work perfactly, as well as spawn eggs. The mycelium is the only thing in which you can place or grow giant mushrooms in broad daylight.

Taiga biomes are your main source of spruce/redwood/pine wood. Wolves commonly spawn in packs here. It is one of few places in which snow falls instead of rain.

I knew all of this besides the silverfish spawning. No wonder wh ymy base on the server had so many of them.


Also you forgot to add how common above ground dungeons are in deserts.

You forgot Tundras.

Also, wolves are able to spawn in packs in Forests, too.

Can you brief me on what 'sulegarcane' is?

Also, it's Mushroom Island not Mooshroom Biome.

extreme hills edge has the same properties of extreme hills, it's just a bit less mountainous. Same for mushroom shore, it's just like a beach or something. Rivers have no special properties besides a duller grass color.

They are technical biomes, used by the game as a smoother transition between different biomes. They are not actually biomes themselves.
