Minecraft:The Void

The Void is an empty Minecraft:biome which generates the Minecraft:void start platform. It is used by "The Void" Minecraft:superflat preset Template:In, and can be set in a Minecraft:single biome world as well. The void biome only exists Template:In; Template:In, the "The Void" flat world preset is set to the Minecraft:plains biome, but generates identically as in Java Edition.

Description

Superflat

The Minecraft:superflat preset "The Void" uses this biome. Preset generates only a 33×33 Minecraft:void start platform centered on a block of cobblestone at coordinates X=8, Y=-61, Z=8, 3 blocks above the bottom of the world. Since the world is made up of one layer of Minecraft:air, only the platform generates. Below the platform, there is just Minecraft:void, and above the platform, there is just Minecraft:sky.

Single biome world

If the Void is chosen for a Minecraft:single biome world, terrain generates the same as if using Minecraft:Default world option, but without any Minecraft:structures or Minecraft:features. The void start platform does generate on the same coordinates as in the superflat world, which puts it inside of the bedrock layers at the bottom of the world.

Such a world consists almost entirely out of just nine blocks:

• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink.

Only Minecraft:terrain features can generate in this world. They include Minecraft:caves and Minecraft:ore veins. Thanks to ore veins, an additional six blocks generate naturally:

• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink,
• Template:BlockLink.

Occasionally, water and lava can form Minecraft:obsidian and Minecraft:cobblestone (and there is one additional cobblestone in the center of the start platform). These seventeen blocks in total represent 100% of the natural terrain in this world.

Usage

This biome can be useful for constructing a redstone contraptions world without interference from the surroundings. It can also be useful for building completely custom terrain from scratch.

Because void doesn't generate in a default world, visiting it is not required for any Minecraft:advancement.

Mobs

No Minecraft:mobs apart from Minecraft:phantoms<ref>Template:Bug</ref> and Minecraft:pillager patrols<ref>Template:Bug</ref> can spawn naturally. Not even Minecraft:wandering traders spawn in this biome. However, other types of mob spawning occur as usual, such as Minecraft:zombified piglins spawning from Minecraft:nether portals or Minecraft:monster spawners spawning any mob.
