Minecraft:Commands/fillbiome

Fills a specified area of a region with a specific Minecraft:biome.

Usage

Because biomes in a world are stored in cells of 4×4×4 blocks, this command is applied on each selected cell instead of each block.

Although biomes are stored in cells, biome boundaries are slightly fiddled with to make them smooth, so the shape of the region whose biome is actually changed is irregular.

• This command is used to attempt to change the biome between the two stone blocks to Minecraft:desert.

• As shown here, the biome changes are not applied at the exact coordinates specified.
  As shown here, the biome changes are not applied at the exact coordinates specified.

The command only changes the biome, but not the blocks in it. For example, changing a Minecraft:forest to a Minecraft:desert with this command does not change the Minecraft:grass blocks to Minecraft:sand and does not plant cacti, but Minecraft:rabbits spawn in the new "desert" that still looks like a forest. Also, the grass color will change and mobs like Minecraft:snow golems will die.
