Plains
Overworld (temperate)
Flat grassland with few trees - the classic starter biome and the easiest place to build, farm and find your first village.
Resources
- Oak wood (scattered trees, often with beehives near flowers)
- Hay bales in villages (9 wheat each)
- Horses and donkeys for early mounts
- Village loot: beds, food, iron gear, obsidian in weapon smith chests
Mobs
- Horses, donkeys, sheep, cows, pigs
- Pillager patrols and outposts
- Standard hostile mobs at night
Structures
- Plains villages
- Pillager outposts
Why go
- Best biome to start a world: flat building space, animals everywhere and a village head start
- Horse breeding and taming
- Bee farming: plains trees near flowers have a 5% chance to generate with a bee nest
Tips
- Mark village coordinates early - they are your first bed, food and trading post.
- Lava pools generate exposed in plains: free obsidian and nether portal access before diamonds.
