			The '''plains''' are common grassland [[Minecraft:biome]]s in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] with wide, open terrain and many [[Minecraft:flower]]s.

			Plains biomes are common and expansive, and commonly border [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], [[Minecraft:forest]]s, and [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s. Plains biomes also generate at colder and warmer temperature ranges, where they border [[Minecraft:savanna]]s, [[Minecraft:desert]]s, and [[Minecraft:badlands]], or [[Minecraft:Taiga\|taigas]] and [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], respectively. They are the second most common Overworld biome, after forests.

			Plains generate at any type of elevation; in flatland with occasional hills and cliffs next to [[Minecraft:swamp]]s, [[Minecraft:mangrove swamp]]s, and all [[Minecraft:windswept]] biomes; or in higher inland terrain with [[Minecraft:fjord]]s, plateaus, and [[Minecraft:mountains]]. Common mountain biomes near plains include [[Minecraft:cherry grove]]s, [[Minecraft:meadow]]s, and [[Minecraft:snowy slopes]]. When it generates at the lukewarm biome temperature range, [[Minecraft:stony peaks]] generate instead of [[Minecraft:jagged peaks]]/[[Minecraft:frozen peaks]].

The '''plains''' is a common grassland [[Minecraft:biome]] in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] that usually generates in flat terrain.

== Description ==
Plains biomes are common and expansive, and can border [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], [[Minecraft:forest]]s, [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s, [[Minecraft:savanna]]s, [[Minecraft:desert]]s, [[Minecraft:badlands]], [[Minecraft:meadow]]s, [[Minecraft:cherry grove]]s, [[Minecraft:Taiga|taigas]], [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], and [[Minecraft:snowy slopes]]. They are the second most common Overworld biome, after forests, and make up around 11.56%{{verify}} of the Overworld by area.

Plains are grassy and mostly flat. Many of the [[Minecraft:grass block]]s are covered in [[Minecraft:grass]] or [[Minecraft:tall grass]]. Oak [[Minecraft:tree]]s generate sometimes; {{frac|1|3}} are large, while {{frac|1|20}} have [[Minecraft:bee]]s and [[Minecraft:bee nest]]s.

Some occasional large patches of plains grow various colors of [[Minecraft:tulip]]s. These patches, along with [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s, are the only places where [[Minecraft:tulip]]s generate. [[Minecraft:Oxeye daisies]], [[Minecraft:cornflower]]s, [[Minecraft:dandelion]]s, [[Minecraft:poppy|poppies]] and [[Minecraft:azure bluet]]s, sporadically generate within the plains. [[Minecraft:Bush|Bushes]] also generate in small patches.

[[Minecraft:Village]]s generate in plains, using oak [[Minecraft:planks]] and [[Minecraft:log]]s. [[Minecraft:Pillager outpost]]s generate here as well.

Plains biomes generate at temperatures of -0.450 to 0.500, meaning it generates in 3 temperature ranges: lukewarm, temperate, and cold. When it generates at the lukewarm biome temperature range, [[Minecraft:stony peaks]] generate instead of [[Minecraft:jagged peaks]]/[[Minecraft:frozen peaks]].

== Mobs ==
[[Minecraft:Horse]]s and [[Minecraft:donkey]]s spawn in plains biomes, as well as hostile [[Minecraft:zombie horse]]s during the [[Minecraft:nighttime]].

The following mobs naturally spawn here:
