A '''desert''' is an expansive arid [[Minecraft:biome]] mainly consisting of [[Minecraft:sand]].
A '''desert''' is an expansive arid [[Minecraft:biome]] mainly consisting of [[Minecraft:sand]]. It is notable for its many structures such as [[Minecraft:desert pyramid]]s and [[Minecraft:village]]s, and its dangerous [[Minecraft:hostile mob]] variants.
<!-- Biome with the most unique generated structure can generate in, being 5.-->


== Description ==
== Generation ==
The surface is made entirely of [[Minecraft:sand]], with [[Minecraft:sandstone]] generating underneath the sand. The terrain is usually flat, but with occasional hills.
Deserts are uncommon, making up around 3% of the Overworld by area. However, they tend to be large when they do occur.


Desert biomes are quite barren. Among the animals that can spawn in the desert, only [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s and [[Minecraft:camel]]s spawn in the wild, while [[Minecraft:villager]]s, [[Minecraft:cat]]s, [[Minecraft:cow]]s, [[Minecraft:sheep]], [[Minecraft:pig]]s and [[Minecraft:camel]]s appear in desert [[Minecraft:village]]s. [[Minecraft:Cactus]] and [[Minecraft:dead bush]]es generate frequently across the landscape, with cacti sometimes featuring a [[Minecraft:Cactus Flower|cactus flower]] on top of them. [[Minecraft:Sugar cane]]s may generate more commonly along water. [[Minecraft:Lava]] ponds may still generate; water may still generate if the altitude dips low enough. Deserts make up for their barrenness by featuring a relatively large number of structures, such as pillager outposts, villages, [[Minecraft:desert pyramid]]s, [[Minecraft:fossil]]s, and [[Minecraft:desert well]]s. Villages and desert pyramids may offer refuge and valuable loot, desert wells may serve as a rare source of water, and fossils can provide large numbers of [[Minecraft:bone block]]s and [[Minecraft:bone meal]], or simply a neat paleontological find, while [[Minecraft:pillager outpost]]s are the only source of wood on the desert surface. 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 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.


Despite the structures, survival in deserts can still be difficult if one does not bring sufficient resources, as the desert has virtually no resources of its own. Wood [[Minecraft:log]]s can be obtained only from [[Minecraft:pillager outpost]]s, [[Minecraft:mineshaft]]s, or [[Minecraft:azalea tree]]s if there's a lush cave underground, though [[Minecraft:dead bush]]es provide a source of [[Minecraft:stick]]s. Tree saplings can be obtained by trading with a [[Minecraft:wandering trader]]. The only desert water sources are [[Minecraft:village]]s, [[Minecraft:desert well]]s, [[Minecraft:river]]s, and aquifers. At night or thunderstorms, most [[Minecraft:zombie]]s and [[Minecraft:zombie villager]]s that spawn in deserts are replaced by [[Minecraft:husk]]s, variants of zombies that inflict the [[Minecraft:Hunger (effect)|Hunger]] effect, while most [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s are replaced by [[Minecraft:parched]], variants of skeleton that shoot [[Minecraft:arrows of weakness]], and uncommonly, these two can spawn riding [[Minecraft:camel husk]]s, undead variants of camels. These three [[Minecraft:monster]]s do not burn in the sun, resulting in more hostile mobs present during daytime.
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.


With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], deserts have unique atmospherics, the sky is tinted turquoise-green at daytime and much brighter during the night. Moonlight is much more vibrant blue than in any other biome. Deserts use the warmest color grading temperature of all biomes, tinting everything yellow/orange.
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.


Deserts generate in areas with very high temperatures and are more likely to generate in areas with high [[Minecraft:Biome#Erosion|erosion]] values. They can generate in lower erosions, but usually as a separation between a badlands biome and the oceans. Somewhat contrary to intuition, deserts can generate at any humidity value.
At high humidity values, [[Minecraft:lush caves]] can sometimes generate underneath deserts, with easily spottable [[Minecraft:azalea tree]]s on the surface.


Deserts are often found bordering [[Minecraft:badlands]] (all variants) or [[Minecraft:mangrove swamp]]s. Other biomes they can border include [[Minecraft:jungle]]s (all variants), [[Minecraft:savanna]]s, [[Minecraft:windswept savanna]]s, [[Minecraft:plains]] and [[Minecraft:forest]]s (regular variant only).
== Description ==
The surface is made entirely of [[Minecraft:sand]], with [[Minecraft:sandstone]] generating underneath the sand. The terrain is usually flat, but with occasional hills and cliffs.


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.
Among the animals that can spawn in the desert, only [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s and [[Minecraft:camel]]s spawn in the wild, while [[Minecraft:villager]]s, [[Minecraft:cat]]s, and farm animals appear in the common desert [[Minecraft:village]]s.  


At high humidity values, [[Minecraft:lush caves]] can sometimes generate underneath deserts, making deserts the only non-forested biomes where lush caves can generate. Because deserts have a high erosion value, the [[Minecraft:deep dark]] cannot generate underneath them.
[[Minecraft:Cacti]] and [[Minecraft:dead bush]]es generate frequently across the landscape, with cacti sometimes featuring a [[Minecraft:cactus flower]] on top of them. [[Minecraft:Sugar cane]] generates more commonly along water which is equally common to other flatland biomes. Unique [[Minecraft:desert well]]s generate occasionally with water as well as [[Minecraft:desert pyramid]]s and [[Minecraft:pillager outpost]]s. Deserts are one of the only biomes where [[Minecraft:fossil]]s generate underground.
 
This large amount of structures makes desert a valuable source of treasure loot. In contrast, the desert is also one of the most dangerous biomes because of its hostile mob variants. [[Minecraft:Husk]]s and [[Minecraft:parched]] spawn at nighttime or during dry [[Minecraft:thunderstorm]]s, sometimes on [[Minecraft:jockey]] mounts or [[Minecraft:camel husk]]s. These mobs do not despawn during the daytime.
 
With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], deserts have unique atmospherics, the sky is tinted turquoise-green at daytime and much brighter during the night. Moonlight is much more vibrant blue than in any other biome. Deserts use the warmest color grading temperature of all biomes, tinting everything yellow/orange.

A desert is an expansive arid Minecraft:biome mainly consisting of Minecraft:sand. It is notable for its many structures such as Minecraft:desert pyramids and Minecraft:villages, and its dangerous Minecraft:hostile mob variants.

Generation

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 and are more likely to generate in areas with medium to high erosion values. They can generate in lower erosions, but usually as a separation between a Minecraft:badlands biome and the Minecraft:oceans with Minecraft:stony shores.

Deserts are often found bordering all badlands variants or Minecraft:mangrove swamps. Other biomes they can border include all Minecraft:jungles, Minecraft:savannas, Minecraft:windswept savannas, Minecraft:plains and Minecraft:forests.

In coastal areas, deserts border Minecraft:warm oceans. Unlike most biomes, they do not generate Minecraft:beach biomes along the coastline, though Minecraft:stony shores do generate if erosion is low. Minecraft:Rivers 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 trees on the surface.

Description

The surface is made entirely of Minecraft:sand, with Minecraft:sandstone generating underneath the sand. The terrain is usually flat, but with occasional hills and cliffs.

Among the animals that can spawn in the desert, only Minecraft:rabbits and Minecraft:camels spawn in the wild, while Minecraft:villagers, Minecraft:cats, and farm animals appear in the common desert Minecraft:villages.

Minecraft:Cacti and Minecraft:dead bushes generate frequently across the landscape, with cacti sometimes featuring a Minecraft:cactus flower on top of them. Minecraft:Sugar cane generates more commonly along water which is equally common to other flatland biomes. Unique Minecraft:desert wells generate occasionally with water as well as Minecraft:desert pyramids and Minecraft:pillager outposts. Deserts are one of the only biomes where Minecraft:fossils generate underground.

This large amount of structures makes desert a valuable source of treasure loot. In contrast, the desert is also one of the most dangerous biomes because of its hostile mob variants. Minecraft:Husks and Minecraft:parched spawn at nighttime or during dry Minecraft:thunderstorms, sometimes on Minecraft:jockey mounts or Minecraft:camel husks. These mobs do not despawn during the daytime.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, deserts have unique atmospherics, the sky is tinted turquoise-green at daytime and much brighter during the night. Moonlight is much more vibrant blue than in any other biome. Deserts use the warmest color grading temperature of all biomes, tinting everything yellow/orange.
