World generator
The world generator for the overworld is quite complex and cannot be described in words exactly. There are seven unique biomes:
- Forest
- Plain
- Mushroom
- Mountain
- Water
- Ruins
- Desert
All of the biomes besides the desert biome can be part of a snowy biome.
After biomes are created, the following systems are added:
- Ores
- Mines and caverns
- Mob spawners
- J (Only in Survival)
- Bedrock borders on the sides and bottom of the world
Unique features
- In the overworld, time can be shown in the sky. The sun is up during the day and the moon comes out at night. The sky turns orange during the sunset and sunrise, and turn into stars during the night.
- A portal can be built to the Nether.
- At the top of the world, a skyhold spawns, which contains the portal to the End.
Trivia
- The world that is scrolled through on the main menu is the Overworld.
