Tutorials/Best biomes to play

Biomes in Minecraft, there are many biomes to play in, but there are better biomes to play in than others. Taiga biomes are recommended for beginners since there are diamonds in the weaponsmith chests in a taiga village, tons of trees for wood, and lots of wolves and foxes to tame. Mushroom Island biomes are recommended for people who want a peaceful Minecraft without the peaceful mode. Ocean biomes are the best biome to get fish.

Starting
When you enter your world in Minecraft, your spawn will be in a random biome. There are better biomes to play in than others, as some have lots of trees, some have no hostile mobs, and some have a greater chance of generating a village.

Biomes best for you
There are many biomes below that are good for you, depending on what you want to do in Minecraft. Exploring, fishing, building, watching mobs fight each other, it's all up to you!

The Overworld
The sections below talks about the biomes best for you in the overworld.

The easiest biomes to play in
Read on to find the easiest biome to play in Minecraft if you're a beginner or want a easier version of Minecraft.Taiga biomes are recommended for beginners or players that want a easy version of Minecraft since there are diamonds or obsidian in the weaponsmith chests in a taiga village, and a weaponsmith house has a greater chance of generating in a taiga village than any other village in Bedrock Edition, meaning you might get iron tools in the first day if you manage to find a weaponsmith chest. Lots of trees generate in this biome, so it's super easy to get wood. Wolves can be tamed if you have bones, which can be obtained from Skeletons and other generated structures around this biome. Taming a wolf can make it be your body guard and if you tame two wolves you can breed them to make a wolf army! Foxes are also in this biome, which can be tamed if you breed two foxes and steal the baby fox, which can also protect you after the baby fox grows up. The disadvantage of this biome is having lots of trees, making it easy to get lost in the night. A easy way to prevent this is looking for forest rocks, marking the rocks with a different block for each rock, and remembering the path between each rock. Lighting the ground with torches will also work, or using a shovel to carve an one block wide path so you can follow the path to come back to your base.

Plains biomes are also a good choice of a easy biome, because of the large spaces, you can see any animals or mob you want from a higher ground. Villages also have a bigger chance of generating in this biome, making it easy to find a bed and food if you're a beginner. The plains biome also have some variants, flower forests, birch forests, oak forests, and wooded hills. The forests are no too cramped and have just enough wood you need. Flower forests can be good if you want some honey or dyes. The plains biome has a negative side, since the area is so large, zombies and skeletons can see you during the night because it is so open compared to a forest, where you can hide behind a tree to avoid being seen.

The best biome for wood
If you're planning to build a wooden house but can't find enough wood, these biomes are for you!

Dark Forest and Jungle biomes are good for wood, since both biomes have more trees than taiga biomes. The dark forest has so many two block wide trees that the leaves cover the roof of the forest, causing shade and other hostile mobs like zombies and skeletons to survive in day time. It is even more easier to get lost in these biomes than any other biome, since there are lots of trees and thin spaces to walk. Woodland mansions also generate in the dark forest biome, making it difficult if a beginner player wanders into a mansion with tough mobs like vindicators and evokers inside. It's rare for the world spawn to generate in a jungle biome, and jungle biomes are rare anyways. Bamboo jungles are even more rarer, as pandas spawn in this biome. The jungle biome has tall two block wide trees towering the canopy, making tons of wood for the player to collect. The bad part about this biome is having lots of trees, although not as much as the dark forest biome. This biome can also be bad if a beginner play wanders into a jungle temple, which has traps that most beginner players don't know, such as arrow traps and sometime hostile mobs can go inside the temple and attack the player by surprise.

If you're building a giant wooden mansion or a wooden village, you can even build it in these biomes. You just need to remove some trees (well, if you do then you're basically getting wood!) and build the structure if you don't want the Mine and Move technique.

The best biome for diamonds
Everyone loves diamonds before 1.16, and full diamond gear and tools are recommended to defeat the ender dragon and the wither, in which the killing the ender dragon is the only way to end the game!

The best biome for diamonds is based on playstyle, since there are a lot of different sources you can get diamonds from. The best bet in most cases however is probably the swamp biome since it has a lot of clay patches, and clay patches can be used to predict where diamonds will spawn. Be sure to find some wood to upgrade your pickaxe until an iron pickaxe or else when you mine the diamonds with a stone pickaxe or a wooden pickaxe it will drop nothing!

If you want to find a biome that generates both fossils and diamonds, the desert biome is your bet! This biome doesn't have trees, but you can get a iron pickaxe somewhere else. Be careful of the spiky cactus!

The best biome for gold
Piglins love gold! If you need some survival items in the nether, bartering with piglins can get you crying obsidian to fire resistance potions, and most other items for surviving in the nether. The only problem is that you need gold to barter with them, as they don't accept anything else to barter for.

The best biome to find gold is the badlands biome, also known as the mesa biome. Mineshafts are very common in this biome, and they can generate more above than a normal mineshaft. Sometimes, a badlands mineshaft can be exposed to the ground, and the mineshafts can hide a lot of gold inside. Mining or finding a cave in this biome also have gold inside, though it's not as safe as mineshafts. Gold can also be crafted into golden apples other than bartering with piglins, which the apple gives you a brief regeneration if you ever lose a lot of health.

The most peaceful biome play in
Ugh! Attacked by zombies, slain by skeleton arrows, or blown up by creepers again? This biome can be just for you if you don't want to change your difficulty to peaceful because it might ruin your hostile mob loot farms or because Minecraft will be easy.

A rare spawn in a mushroom fields biome is very lucky, since no hostile mobs spawn here, and its peaceful. Hostile mobs may wander into this biome, such as drowned from the surrounding oceans and if the biome is connected with other biomes, more hostile mobs will wander into this biome. Mooshrooms also spawn regularly, meaning they keep spawning even when some mooshrooms are killed. Mooshrooms make beef and mushrooms easy to get, as they are passive, and you can also milk it like a normal cow and use a bowl on it to get mushroom stew.

One of the problems for this biome is there are no trees, so you can't craft a crafting table and more items using the table, such as bowls, buckets, and your tools. And since this biome is in the middle of an ocean, you need a boat to get to the other biomes, which means you can be trapped on this island for a long time unless you swim over the ocean to other biomes and to get wood. A mineshaft might generate under the island, so you need to go down underground and get wood from the mineshaft if there is one.

The hardest biomes to play in
Looking for a challenge but all the other biomes are just too easy? Here, you'll find biomes that will cause death quickly if you aren't prepared for the night!

Swamp biomes are hard to play in, since witches spawn in swamp huts around this biome and slimes can spawn in the night. Witches can give beginner players a hard time if they ever run into one. Villages don't generate in this biome, which means you need to travel to other biomes to find a shelter if you can't craft a bed to sleep in during the night. Slimes will spawn frequently in the night, so if you run into one, even when you kill it, it breaks into more smaller chunks and could be really annoying and hostile. Animals don't spawn here, making it hard for food, although some animals might wander into this biome.

Desert biomes are also hard, since there are not too many passive mobs here except rabbits, making it hard for food, and if the player runs into a husk it can pursuit the player in daylight, since the husk can survive in daylight and inflict you with the hunger effect, so that the player cannot sprint if their hunger points are too low. The desert biome also doesn't generate too many villages, and it has no trees. There are desert temples, that have treasures inside, which you can loot. You can spawn next to desert temples, that is just about the only advantage of the desert biome.

Snowy Tundra biomes are as hard as the desert biome since there isn't many trees around and not too many animals spawn in this biome, except for polar bears, which you can kill for fish. Strays spawn in the night time, and they have arrows that inflict the player with slowness so the stray can hit the player more precisely. If you're lucky, you might come by an igloo, which has a bed, a crafting table, a furnace, plus some igloos even have a ladder that descents to an old looking basement. The basement also has a brewing stand with a splash potion of weakness in it, a cauldron with some water, a potted cactus, a chest with basic loot and an golden apple, and a villager plus a zombie villager in the cells which you can heal using the weakness potion and the golden apple and you can move villagers to a nearby village.

The best biome for fish
Tired of chasing and killing animals, waiting for your crops to grow, or eating rotten flesh all day? Here, you can catch a fish to eat in less than 30 seconds just with a simple fishing rod: two pieces of string and three sticks!

Going to the ocean biome can be good, as there are fish everywhere and you can even take a dive to catch fish so you can get bones if the fish is large enough! Fishing here can get you fish lot quicker than other biomes. If you're lucky and stumbled across a coral reef (warm ocean), there is tropical fish everywhere, and you don't need to cook them when you catch them. The chance of catching a tropical fish using a fishing rod is pretty rare, but if you find a warm ocean biome, you can dunk into the water and grab a nice tropical fish to eat without cooking it!

Be careful of drowned when fishing, which is a hostile mob that lurks below the waves, throws tridents, and can swim as quick as the player. They can be pretty bad to unsuspecting players who are so into fishing that a trident hit them and they ended dying because they can't swim away fast enough.

Although fish generate in river biomes, there isn't too much fish to dive and and catch, and drowned also spawn in rivers. Rivers are pretty thin, making drowned cornering you if you don't be careful.

If you run into a ocean monument while catching fish, write down the coordinates and find a dry island immediately. Put your fish into a chest and get into your combat gear. Read here for the full guide on how to defeat ocean monuments.

The Nether
In the hot abyss of the underworld, the nether houses many treasures. With hostile mobs and fire everywhere, you'll die in lava if you're not prepared. If you're looking for some nether biomes to play in, read on to find out what nether biome you want to play in.

Easiest biome to play in (Nether)
Man! Everywhere you look, there are hostile mobs everywhere! Where will it be peaceful in this dimension?

Warped forest biomes are good for you because no hostile mobs spawn here, except for endermen. Endermen are not hostile unless looked in the face or attacked, which it will be more nastier than a wither skeleton. Bring a carved pumpkin and wear it, and all of your endermen problems will be over!

Hardest biomes to play in (Nether)
The nether is already hard enough for most players, but not for players who are brave enough to get into the depths of the nether. The biomes below will tell you the hardest biomes in the nether and whether if you dare to try it or not.

Basalt deltas are the #1 most dangerous biome in the nether, as magma cubes are everywhere, and lava pits are under you. Gamerule /keepInventory is recommended in case the you die in lava and the lava burns up everything in the your inventory. Bring at least full iron armor, weapons, tools, and a bow and some arrows to get rid of the magma cubes without them knocking you off into the lava.
