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


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

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 with few terrain features, creating a wide, open view. Many of the [[Minecraft:grass block]]s are covered in [[Minecraft:short grass]] or [[Minecraft:tall grass]], with many different [[Minecraft:flower]]s. 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]].
[[Minecraft:Horse]]s and [[Minecraft:donkey]]s spawn in plains biomes, as well as hostile [[Minecraft:zombie horse]]s during the nighttime. Common temperate [[Minecraft:animal]] variants also spawn.

Template:Infobox biome The plains are common grassland Minecraft:biomes in the Minecraft:Overworld with wide, open terrain and many Minecraft:flowers.

Generation

Plains biomes are common and expansive, and commonly border Minecraft:sunflower plains, Minecraft:forests, and Minecraft:flower forests. Plains biomes also generate at colder and warmer temperature ranges, where they border Minecraft:savannas, Minecraft:deserts, and Minecraft:badlands, or 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:swamps, Minecraft:mangrove swamps, and all Minecraft:windswept biomes; or in higher inland terrain with Minecraft:fjords, plateaus, and Minecraft:mountains. Common mountain biomes near plains include Minecraft:cherry groves, Minecraft:meadows, 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.

Description

Plains are grassy with few terrain features, creating a wide, open view. Many of the Minecraft:grass blocks are covered in Minecraft:short grass or Minecraft:tall grass, with many different Minecraft:flowers. Oak Minecraft:trees generate sometimes; Template:Frac are large, while Template:Frac have Minecraft:bees and Minecraft:bee nests.

Some occasional large patches of flowers grow various colors of Minecraft:tulips. Along with Minecraft:flower forests, plains are the only places where tulips generate. Minecraft:Oxeye daisies, Minecraft:cornflowers, Minecraft:dandelions, Minecraft:poppies, and Minecraft:azure bluets, sporadically generate within the plains. Minecraft:Bushes also generate in small patches of plain fields.

Minecraft:Villages generate in plains, using oak Minecraft:planks and Minecraft:logs. Minecraft:Pillager outposts can generate here as well.

Minecraft:Horses and Minecraft:donkeys spawn in plains biomes, as well as hostile Minecraft:zombie horses during the nighttime. Common temperate Minecraft:animal variants also spawn.
