Related Biomes
Plains
One of the most common biomes. Villages spawn frequently here. Excellent for early-game building due to flat terrain.
Sunflower Plains
The only biome where sunflowers naturally generate. Sunflowers always face east, making them a natural compass.
Forest
One of the most common biomes. Great source of wood early game. Both oak and birch trees generate here.
