Minecraft biomes: what they are and how many are in the game

A biome is a group of ecosystems with common characteristics related to Climate, geology, flora and fauna. This definition is just as applicable to planet Earth as it is to the world of Minecraft, although logically there are types of biomes in Mojang’s video game that don’t exist in the real world.

In the case of Minecraft we are talking about a game whose world is generated with a certain randomness: no two worlds are the same, each has its own shape. However, in Minecraft, for example, you will never see blocks of lava and snow nested within each other. This is precisely because the creators thought about the use of biomes: each part of the game world (region) is assigned a biome, while it is not possible that in a snowy biome we see lava blocks characteristic of the biomes, that are in the Nether.

Total exist in Minecraft source code 99 different biomes, many of which are variants and others are never used. Each of them has been assigned a different ID. Below is a list of all biomes in Minecraft along with their ID numbers.
