A biome is a type of terrain in Mine Blocks. There are a total of 7 biomes in Mine Blocks.
Contents
Biome types
Forest
The forest biome is by far the most important biome in the game. If a forest biome doesn't generate in a survival world, the player might have a very hard time advancing, because forests are the only biomes that can grow trees. Trees provide wood, a resource essential for crafting tools. The only other way to receive wood is by finding it in chests which can be found in ruins and dungeons or by using bone meal on dirt and receiving a sapling.
Trees in a forest may grow apples, lemons, and oranges. This makes forests useful as a source of food.
Forests (as well as plains) also grow mushrooms, flowers, sugarcane, bamboo, pumpkins, long grass, and shrubs.
The floor of a forest is primarily consisted of grass and dirt, but the terrain generator might add gravel too.
Plain
Plains are long, flat stretches of dirt which, like forests, contain mushrooms, flowers, sugarcane, bamboo, pumpkins, long grass, and shrubs.
Desert
The desert biome is a sandy, flat biome. It is the only biome to grow cactus. The desert biome can be used for making glass and finding big amounts of water. The desert biome mainly consists of sand, and a medium amount of clay (used to make bricks).
As well as cacti, deserts also generate with shrubs.
Rain does not fall in deserts.
Mountain
A biome that has land coming up. Their surface blocks are covered in grass, and dirt blocks go one to two blocks below the surface, with stone underneath that. Embedded in these mountains are ores, especially coal, and gravel. Sometimes, mountains can connect to form mountain ranges.
This biome doesn't grow trees, grass, or flowers, except bamboo stalks.
Water
Water biomes are big pools of water on the surface. These include waterfalls, seas, lakes, and small ponds. Most water biomes contain sand on the sides and bottom.
In ocean biomes, seaweed and coral generate.
Ruins
Ruins can be found in the overworld of Mine Blocks. Most contain chests full of precious goods. The ruin itself is made up of cobblestone. Ruins can have different chest amounts and ruins can spawn different items. You could find a chest with a bunch of diamonds, or you could find a chest with a wooden pickaxe. Some other things you can find in these chests are redstone, iron ingots, stone tools, wood, and cocoa beans.
Moss can generate on the cobblestone in ruins.
Mushroom
Mushroom biomes are made up of giant mushrooms and a surface block called mycelium. The player may also encounter an animal called a mooshroom.
Snow regions
Snow regions are areas in biomes which snow during rainy weather. They can generate in any biome apart from the desert. These areas usually generate with snow layers on the surface blocks.
Pictures
An example of a Plain biome.
A forest biome.
A forest with a man.
An example of a desert biome.
A mountain with a piece of coal ore.
A mushroom biome.
