Template:For Minecraft:Biomes are stored as Minecraft:JSON files within a Minecraft:data pack in the path Template:Cd Template:In or in a Minecraft:behavior pack in the folder Template:Cd Template:In.

JSON format

Java Edition

Template:Nbt: The root object.
- Template:Nbt: Determines whether or not the biome has precipitation.
- Template:Nbt: Controls gameplay features like grass and foliage color, and a height adjusted temperature (which controls whether raining or snowing occurs if Template:Nbt is Template:Cd, and generation details of some features).
- Template:Nbt: (optional, defaults to none) Either Template:Cd or Template:Cd. Modifies temperature before calculating the height adjusted temperature. If Template:Cd, makes some places' temperature high enough to rain (0.2).
- Template:Nbt: Controls grass and foliage color.
- Template:Nbt: Ambient effects in this biome.
  - Template:Nbt: (Required, but the normal value is 4159204) Decimal value converted from Hex color to use for water blocks and cauldrons.
  - Template:Nbt: (optional) Decimal value converted from Hex color to use for tree leaves and vines. If not present, the value depends on downfall and the temperature.
  - Template:Nbt: (optional) Decimal value converted from Hex color to use for leaf litter.
  - Template:Nbt: (optional) Decimal value converted from Hex color to use for grass blocks, short grass, tall grass, ferns, tall ferns, and sugar cane. If not present, the value depends on downfall and temperature.
  - Template:Nbt: (optional, defaults to none) Can be Template:Cd, Template:Cd or Template:Cd.
- Template:Nbt: (optional) Map of Minecraft:environment attributes that apply when in this biome.
- Template:Nbt Template:Nbt Template:Nbt: Template:Json ref (Required, but can be empty)
- Template:Nbt: List of generation steps (Can be empty). Usually there are 11 steps, but any amount is possible.
  - Template:Nbt Template:Nbt Template:Nbt each entry of the list: Template:Json ref — Features to place during that generation step. The same placed features in the same step in two biomes cannot be in different orders. In each step, all feature IDs need to be ordered consistently across biomes. For example, in the UNDERGROUND_ORES step of minecraft:plains, ore_dirt is before ore_gravel. In other biomes' UNDERGROUND_ORES step, if both ore_dirt and ore_gravel as present, ore_gravel cannot be before ore_dirt.
  These generation steps are also referred to by name for structure generation. They are, in order:
  - Template:Cd: Used by small end island features in vanilla.
  - Template:Cd: Used by lava lakes in vanilla.
  - Template:Cd: Used for amethyst geodes and icebergs in vanilla.
  - Template:Cd: Used for dungeons and overworld fossils in vanilla.
  - Template:Cd: Used for desert wells and blue ice patches in vanilla.
  - Template:Cd: Not used for features in vanilla.
  - Template:Cd: Used for overworld ore blobs, overworld dirt/gravel/stone variant blobs, and sand/gravel/clay disks in vanilla.
  - Template:Cd: Used for infested block blobs, nether gravel and blackstone blobs, and all nether ore blobs in vanilla.
  - Template:Cd: Used for water and lava springs in vanilla.
  - Template:Cd: Used for trees, bamboo, cacti, kelp, and other ground and ocean vegetation in vanilla.
  - Template:Cd: Used for surface freezing in vanilla.
- Template:Nbt: (optional) Higher value results in more creatures spawned in world generation. Must be between 0.0 and 0.9999999 (both inclusive).
- Template:Nbt: (Required, but can be empty. If this object doesn't contain a certain category, mobs in this category do not spawn.) Entity spawning settings.
  - Template:Nbt: (Can be empty. If empty, mobs in this category do not spawn.) The key must be one of Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd, or Template:Cd. A list of spawner data objects, one for each mob which should spawn in this biome.
    - Template:Nbt: The spawner data for a single mob.
      - Template:Nbt: The namespaced entity id of the mob.
      - Template:Nbt: How often this mob should spawn, higher values produce more spawns.
      - Template:Nbt: The minimum count of mobs to spawn in a pack. Must be greater than 0.
      - Template:Nbt: The maximum count of mobs to spawn in a pack. Must be greater than 0. And must be not less than Template:Nbt.
- Template:Nbt: (Required, but can be empty. Only mobs listed here use the spawn cost mechanism) See Template:Slink for details.
  - Template:Nbt: The namespaced entity id of the mob.
    - Template:Nbt: New mob's maximum potential.
    - Template:Nbt: New mob's charge.

Template:WIP

Template:Nbt: The root object.
- Template:Nbt: The format version of the file, requires "1.21.110" for all current features.
- Template:Nbt: The biome definition.
  - Template:Nbt
    - Template:Nbt: A Minecraft:namespaced identifier for the biome.
  - Template:Nbt: Components used to define the biome's generation.
    - Template:Nbt: Defines the climate properties of the biome.
      - Template:Nbt: Minecraft:Downfall, mainly causes grass and foliage tints to change in terms of humidity (if not overridden in resource packs), and the random extinction of Minecraft:fire. If set to 0, no Minecraft:precipitation occurs.
      - Template:Nbt: Minecraft:Snow accumulation, the first value controls how much snow is pre-generated (0 being one uniform layer, 0.125 randomized patches without snow and stacked near blocks, higher increases the snow piles), the second value controls the speed of snow accumulation during snowfall and must be equal to or higher than the first value.
      - Template:Nbt: Minecraft:Temperature, controls at what height rainfall transitions to snowfall and water freezes, changes grass, sky, and foliage tints, affects sponge drying.
    - Template:Nbt
      - Template:Nbt: Chance of creatures spawning when the chunk is generated. Must be ≤0.75.
    - Template:Nbt
      - Template:Nbt: Whether or not the biome is humid. This overrides the downfall property with 0 or 1 while leaving tints unaffected.
    - Template:Nbt
      - Template:Nbt Template:Nbt: The color foliage will be tinted by on a Minecraft:map in this biome for example Template:Cd. If not set, this defaults to the colormap determined by temperature and downfall.
      - Template:Nbt: The color grass will be tinted by on a Minecraft:map in this biome. If not set, this defaults to the colormap determined by temperature and downfall.
        Template:Nbt: It could be Template:Cd or Template:Cd. When set to Template:Cd, this will apply a secondary randomized temperature gradient in the biome and use the colormap to tint grass, like in Minecraft:swamps.
