Plains

The Plains biome is the most abundant variant. Plains biomes are common in a Minecraft world, generating in both temperate and dry biome clusters. It also generates as a separation when a swamp biome generates alongside a desert.

Description
Plains are grassy and mostly flat. Many of the grass blocks are covered in grass or tall grass. Oak trees generate sometimes; 1⁄3 are large. Rarely, these trees have bees and bee nests.

Some patches of plains grow various colors of tulips and these patches, along with flower forests, are the only places where tulips generate. Oxeye daisies, cornflower, and azure bluets flowers sporadically generate within the plains. Sunflowers are found in the sunflower variation.

Villages from plains use oak planks and logs. Pillager outposts generate as well, but are even rarer.

Horses spawn in plains biomes. In Bedrock Edition, this is the only biome where donkeys can spawn.

Despite 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. Oak trees sparsely generate, making wood scarce should one not want to tear down village houses or battle pillagers in outpost for wood. Additionally, the amounts of grass can prove to be a nuisance when building a shelter or combating. However, tamed horses can serve as a method of travel, allowing players to more efficiently explore their surroundings for more resources.

There are some unique features concerning the plains biome in the game's world generation: small forest biomes often generate in patches within large plains, and small plains generate in patches within large dark forest or deep oceans as glades.
