5 most useful biomes in Minecraft as of 2022
Biomes are various areas found throughout Minecraft and they borrow elements from their real world counterparts. In the Java version, there are 79 biomes (67 overworld biomes, 5 Nether biomes, 5 end biomes, and 2 unused biomes) and Bedrock has 75 biomes (66 overworld biomes, 5 Nether biomes, 1 end biome, and 3 unused biomes). While most of these biomes are common or uncommon, there are many that are rare and rarely occur in a game.
With so many different biomes throughout Minecraft, players can feel a little overwhelmed by the new areas. It may not be clear how helpful some are with respect to resources, crowds and generated structures.
Fortunately, the Minecraft community and the Mojang biomes hold abundant information on the topic, allowing players to determine which biomes are more helpful and which can be explored later.
1. Swamp Hills
Swamp hills are a rare type of swamp biome and have a mountainous terrain compared to regular swamps. The hills in Swamp Hills are much smaller than other mountain biomes.
In addition, the flooded areas in Swamp Hills are less deep than the rest of the marshes and sometimes deep enough for gravel floors in place of dirt floors like in normal oceans. If a swampy hill is next to a forest, there is a chance that a modified jungle edge may arise, which is the rarest biome.
Villages can be found throughout the Minecraft world. There are five different types of villages that can arise naturally in Minecraft. Unfortunately a swampy village is not among them.
Despite this, contrary to what some players believe, swamp villagers still exist in vanilla Minecraft. Swamp villagers have a unique and distinctive look to them that matches their respective swamp biomes.
There are a few ways to turn a villager into a swamp villager, which include breeding villagers or treating a zombie villager within a swamp biome.
2. Giant Tree Taiga and All Variants
Giant Tree Taiga and all its variants (Giant Tree Taiga Hills, Giant Spruce Taiga, and Giant Spruce Taiga Hills) are rare cold biomes. These biomes are large and have very tall spruce trees. Giant tree taiga usually border forests, taigas and sometimes snowy biomes.
The difference between the Regular and Hills Giant Tree Taiga Biome and the Giant Spruce Taiga Biome is that the spruce trees in the Giant Spruce Biome have more leaves. Since there are more leaves, these trees are more likely to drop when they are cut, which makes it a permanent place to harvest spruce wood.
3. Bamboo Jungle and Bamboo Jungle Hills
These two biomes can be considered the same thing in Minecraft, with the only difference being the terrain. The bamboo forest is full of bamboo and large trees – only 2×2 forest trees and large, branching oak trees can grow here.
All jungle special mobs can spawn here, especially pandas. They have a higher spawn rate in this biome than in a regular jungle biome – this is quite obvious, as pandas eat bamboo. If you’re lucky enough, you might encounter a brown panda, one of the rarest mobs even in Minecraft.
4. Spawn Near 3 Jungle Temples
Minecraft 1.18 seems to be fond of trees because this seed also produces us in a sea of trees. We start on top of a tree in a vast jungle biome. Thanks to this height, we can see a jungle temple located near our spawn. But this is not the only jungle temple in this biome.
With minimal effort, you can keep jumping around the trees until you find two more jungle temples in that area. All of them generate their loot as well as traps properly. Since this can happen at the beginning of the game, please be careful when searching for temples. Not to be forgotten, the presence of a dense forest also makes mob spawning easier. So this area is anything but safe.
5. Sunflower plains
A variation of the plains biome which is the only place in the game where sunflowers will grow. Sunflowers These are excellent looking plants that will follow the sun as it treks across the sky.
Apart from sunflowers, these biomes are very similar to the common plains. In fact, they are usually contained within much larger plains, so they are definitely a sub-biome.
