The biome ID of sunflower plains has changed from mutated_plains to sunflower_plains.Ĭornflower now generates in normal/sunflower plains.Īdded pillager outposts, which can spawn in plains biomes.īee nests now spawn attached to trees in plains biomes. Plains and sunflower plains now have some trees (5% of chunks). Tulips now generate in patches within plains biomes. Tall grass, azure bluets and oxeye daisies now generate in the plains biome. it generates here in abundance.Īdded villages, which can generate in the plains biome.Īdded sunflower plains variant, along with many other biomes. Plains were defined by having a rainfall value of over 45% and a temperature value over 97%.Īdded tall grass. īefore alpha 1.2.0, flatter areas similar to plains existed within "plains" landforms, which were randomly generated across the world as true biomes did not exist yet. In Bedrock Edition, villages and outposts still generate here, but in Java Edition they don't. The mob spawning is otherwise no different from the regular plains. The sunflowers make for a good source of yellow dye and a makeshift compass, as they always face east. The sunflower plains features large numbers of sunflowers across its landscape, and is the only place where sunflowers may generate. There are two plains biome variants (plains and sunflower plains). Plains biomes are quite common and expansive, and often border forests and savannas. However, tamed horses can serve as a method of travel, allowing players to more efficiently explore their surroundings for more resources. Additionally, the amounts of grass can prove to be a nuisance when building a shelter or combating.
Oak trees sparsely generate, making wood scarce should one not want to tear down village houses or battle pillagers in outpost for wood. In Bedrock Edition, this is the only biome where donkeys can spawn.ĭespite the calmness, survival in plains biomes can be a little hard due to the relative sparseness of the biome, though villages can serve as a temporary refuge if they are found. Pillager outposts generate as well, but are even rarer. Villages from plains use oak planks and logs. Sunflowers are found in the sunflower variation.
Oxeye daisies, cornflower, and azure bluets flowers sporadically generate within the plains. Some patches of plains grow various colors of tulips and these patches, along with flower forests, are the only places where tulips generate. Rarely, these trees have bees and bee nests. Oak trees generate sometimes 1⁄ 3 are large. Many of the grass blocks are covered in grass or tall grass.
