Biome
Help us make this wiki Better than Adventure by expanding it!
Biomes are the different environments that can be found in the worlds of Minecraft. Better than Adventure! includes some biomes from the base game, but most biomes and their mechanics have been revamped or added.
Default Biomes
Forest
Seasonal Forest
| Has about a 80% chance of generating cherry trees, instead of oak trees.
Often generates mixed in with regular forests. Fully affected by the seasons. Only cherry trees grown during generation will actually fruit any cherries during spring. |
 |
Rainforest
Birch Forest
| Has a 100% chance of spawning birch trees that are significantly taller than normal.
Fully affected by the seasons. |
 |
Boreal Forest
Plains
| Not much can be said about it. It's a plain biome.
Pumpkins can occasionally spawn here. Trees are rare, often generates tall grassy hills with a lot of relatively flat surfaces. Fully affected by the seasons. |
 |
Desert
| It's a normal desert from Beta 1.7.3, generates with cactus and dead bush.
It will not rain or snow in the desert. |
 |
Grasslands
| Barren landscapes that generate without trees, flowers or tall grass. |  |
Swampland
| Wet biome that often generates near big bodies of water.
Trees that are generated or grown inside the biome turn into moss trees. Swamplands also generate with mud and pumpkins, and are fully affected by the seasons, in addition the only biome that spawns algae. |
 |
Shrubland
| Often generates flat grassy hills with a few shrubs scattered in. |  |
Outback
| A red wasteland with scorched dirt, spinifex and occational oak trees.
