The '''plains''' are common grassland [[Minecraft:biome]]s in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] with wide, open terrain and [[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 are the second-most common Overworld biome after [[Minecraft:forest]]s, covering about 10.2% of its area. This is due to both their abundance and their potential to grow very large. They generate across a broad range of moderate temperatures when humidity is low to moderate.


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 terrain varies widely, from small islands and expansive flatlands to rolling hills and steeper ground where they transition into [[Minecraft:meadow]]s, [[Minecraft:snowy slopes]], or windswept biomes. They most often border forests, [[Minecraft:savanna]]s, [[Minecraft:sparse jungle]]s, [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s, [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], or [[Minecraft:dappled forest]]s. Because plains have a wide temperature range, they can transition into [[Minecraft:mangrove swamp]]s, [[Minecraft:badlands]], [[Minecraft:desert]]s, or [[Minecraft:snowy plains]].
 
Beneath inland plains, [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] are common, whereas [[Minecraft:sulfur caves]] and [[Minecraft:ice caves]]{{upcoming|Fourth Drop 2026}} are less abundant. The [[Minecraft:deep dark]] sometimes generates where erosion is low, especially near elevated terrain and [[Minecraft:mountain]]s.

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 rarely in the plains.

Some occasional large patches of flowers grow various colors of [[Minecraft:tulip]]s. Along with [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s, plains are the only places where tulips 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]]es also generate in small patches of plain fields.

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

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

Generation

Plains are the second-most common Overworld biome after Minecraft:forests, covering about 10.2% of its area. This is due to both their abundance and their potential to grow very large. They generate across a broad range of moderate temperatures when humidity is low to moderate.

The terrain varies widely, from small islands and expansive flatlands to rolling hills and steeper ground where they transition into Minecraft:meadows, Minecraft:snowy slopes, or windswept biomes. They most often border forests, Minecraft:savannas, Minecraft:sparse jungles, Minecraft:flower forests, Minecraft:sunflower plains, or Minecraft:dappled forests. Because plains have a wide temperature range, they can transition into Minecraft:mangrove swamps, Minecraft:badlands, Minecraft:deserts, or Minecraft:snowy plains.

Beneath inland plains, Minecraft:dripstone caves are common, whereas Minecraft:sulfur caves and Minecraft:ice cavesTemplate:Upcoming are less abundant. The Minecraft:deep dark sometimes generates where erosion is low, especially near elevated terrain and Minecraft:mountains.

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.
