What are biomes and why do they make Minecraft unique?

Biomes are the feature that makes each Minecraft world so unique and diverse;  every biome is based on a real one and each one has its unique features and mobs, for this reason, we decided to do a list of the top 15 most beautiful biomes in Minecraft. 

15. Plains

Plains are one of the most common biomes you can find in any Minecraft world, but that doesn't mean you can't find some of the most beautiful views in the game; also the fact that most of the plains terrain is flat makes it perfect for exploring or settling to build your home in. Also, most villages will spawn in this biome making it perfect for easy loot gathering. 

What makes this biome great:

• Beautiful views
• The flat terrain makes it perfect for exploring
• Most villages are located in this biome

14. Forest

Forests are the perfect biome to start your adventure due to the abundance of wood, forests are full of trees, flowers, and mushrooms giving you some of the most beautiful and unique views in the game.

What makes this biome great:

• Beautiful views 
• Full of creatures and plants
• Perfect for gathering wood 

13. Dark forest

Dark forests in general are a complicated biome since they are full of trees and so compacted together that many hostile mobs will spawn here, but that doesn't mean we can't take advantage of that situation. We can use the lack of light as a natural mob spawner to gain XP, also dark forests are the only biome where woodland mansions can spawn, this is perfect also for gaining XP and getting some loot; just take in mind that forests can be a really big biome so try not to get lost in the process. 

What makes this biome great:

• Beautiful views
• Perfect for gathering resources
• Here you can find woodland mansions 

12. Sunflower Plains

• Common but beautiful 

11. Flower forest

The flower forest is very similar to the forest biome, but with fewer trees, although the lack of trees is countered by the abundance of flowers; in this biome, you will find every kind of flower and some which will only spawn in the flower forest, this biome is perfect for harvesting and farming dyes.
