Biomes
Biomes are geographically different ecosystems. In the world of Minecraft, these are often defined by a change in foliage, animals, the shape of the land, and the types of blocks that can be found there. This page covers all the Biomes available in the game, as of version 1.19.
Contents:
- Overworld Biomes
- Dimensional Biomes
Overworld Biomes
The graph below details all of the biomes that you can encounter in the Overworld, the primary dimension that you'll be exploring in Minecraft, filled with natural plains, oceans, mountains, rivers, caves and more.
We've grouped the biomes into 15 different categories, many of which have unique variants, including those that cross over into other biome types. Many biomes can appear at many different temperatures and thus be blanketed in snow, while others, like Savannahs or Frozen Oceans, only appear at specific temperatures.

These dimensions, like the different biomes, contain not only different blocks, but different enemies as well. Both of these dimensions are accessed by using a specific type of Portal.
