	Deserts ~~are~~ uncommon, ~~making~~ up around 3% of the Overworld by area~~. However,~~ they tend to be large ~~when they do occur~~.		Deserts generate in areas with very high temperatures. Despite being uncommon, deserts make up around 2.4% of the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] by area since they tend to be quite large. Deserts frequently border [[Minecraft:Mangrove Swamp\|mangrove swamps]], [[Minecraft:Savanna\|savannas]], and all [[Minecraft:Badlands (disambiguation)\|badlands]] variants. They may also border [[Minecraft:Jungle\|jungles]], [[Minecraft:Forest\|forests]], [[Minecraft:plains]], and [[Minecraft:Windswept Savanna\|windswept savannas]].

	~~Deserts~~ generate ~~in areas with very high temperatures and are more likely to generate in areas with medium to high~~ [[Minecraft:~~Biome#Erosion\|erosion~~]] ~~values. They can generate in lower erosions~~, ~~but usually as~~ a ~~separation between~~ a [[Minecraft:~~badlands~~]] ~~biome and the~~ [[Minecraft:~~ocean~~]]s with [[Minecraft:~~stony shore~~]]s.		Unlike most biomes, deserts do not usually generate [[Minecraft:beaches]] along the coastlines, instead remaining a desert, or generating a [[Minecraft:Stony Shore\|stony shore]] if erosion is low. [[Minecraft:River]]s are common, and tend to have less water and more dry grassland, with [[Minecraft:oak]] trees.

	~~Deserts are often found bordering all badlands variants or~~ [[Minecraft:~~mangrove swamp]]s. Other biomes they can border include all [[Minecraft:jungle~~]]s, [[Minecraft:~~savanna]]s, [[Minecraft:windswept savanna]]s, [[Minecraft:plains]], and [[Minecraft:forest]]s.~~		[[Minecraft:Lush caves]], [[Minecraft:Dripstone Caves\|dripstone caves]], and [[Minecraft:Sulfur Caves\|sulfur caves]] frequently generate beneath deserts.

	In coastal areas, deserts border [[Minecraft:warm ocean]]s. Unlike most biomes, they do not generate [[Minecraft:beach]] biomes along the coastline, though [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s do generate if erosion is low. [[Minecraft:River]]~~s are common~~, and ~~tend to have less water and more dry grassland, with~~ [[Minecraft:~~oak]] trees.~~

	~~At high humidity values, [[Minecraft:lush~~ caves]] ~~can sometimes~~ generate ~~underneath~~ deserts~~, with easily spottable [[Minecraft:azalea tree]]s on the surface~~.
