Minecraft:Biome tag (Java Edition)

A biome tag is a group of Minecraft:biomes. Biome tags are used to to control where Minecraft:structures generate, the spawn conditions of various Minecraft:entities, and numerous other gameplay features. See below for the use of each tag. Biome tags can also be used when testing for biome arguments in commands with Template:Cd, which succeeds if the biome matches any of the biomes specified in the tag.
