Minecraft’s ULTIMATE Biome Tier List (1.20)

We are going to be ranking 35 of Minecraft’s most unique biomes ranging from the standard grassy Plains all the way to the deep dark and the newly released cherry blossom Forest we’ve got four categories to sort them into magnificent interesting mediocre and dull and they will be judged on how much

Content they have to offer to the player let’s go ahead and just jump straight into it to start off today’s list we have the Badlands the Badlands are quite a rare biome in Minecraft you don’t see it very often but when you do it’s very

Fun to see since it’s such a change of pace compared to all the green and blue that Minecraft has to offer but outside of you know what it does offer visually there’s not much in the sense of you know actual Landscapes with it essentially if you were to replace all

Of the Red Sand and terracotta in that biome with you know grass dirt and stone it would look almost identical to just any normal planes or Hills biome the only thing it does have going for it is its special mine shafts but it’s going

To be going in the media next up we have the bamboo forest so these really only typically spawn in or around jungle biomes so you’re not going to see a ton of these as you don’t typically see a ton of jungles and even then jungles don’t have a 100 chance you know to

Spawn with a bamboo variant typically what they offer is essentially just bamboo and pandas but bamboo is pretty useful and pretty fun it’s just that’s about the only thing it offers compared to jungles or other you know biomes so it’s also actually going to be going in

The mediocre tier next up we have the basalt Deltas our first Nether biome so these guys are kind of interesting I’d say that this specifically is one of the most dangerous biomes on this list if not the most dangerous just because of how hazardous the terrain is in terms of

Actual content it doesn’t have much to offer typically magma cubes will spawn here and outside of the Blackstone and basalt that it offers there’s not a whole lot you know gameplay wise there’s not a whole lot you can farm from it unless you are specifically looking for magma cubes the salt or Blackstone

Because of that it is also going to be going in the mediocre category next up we have a beach so these don’t really offer very much in terms of unique they’re essentially just the bridge between several biomes whether that be a desert or any kind of ocean biome

There’s not a whole lot to these and you will find like buried treasure on these but other than that there’s there’s not a whole lot going for them they’re more of just a transitory biome when you’re going between two of them or unique and interesting ones this one is going to be

Our first doll category one next up we have the Birch Forest so these guys are essentially similar to the rest of the forests in the game are I guess our typical forests except the main difference is that instead of oaklawns or dark oak logs or Spruce you’re

Actually going to be having Birch but as far as that goes that’s about the only change and now I know I’ve put thorough in here already but just because of the way this list has been laid out this biome the birch tree bottom was also growing in the mediocre tier next up we

Have of the ocean this is just our basic Ocean Mile now These Guys these guys have a lot to offer a ton of different structures and naturally generated terrain Ken’s spawn here underwater Ravines ocean temples ocean ruins you can find drowned dolphins sea turtles all kinds of fish here as well this one

Is actually going to be our first interesting category moving on from the ocean we’re gonna go right back into hell itself we have the Crimson Forest now these guys oh boy there’s a lot to offer here obviously you have the Crimson logs and Crimson leaves I’m not

Sure that’s what they’re called but you guys know what I’m talking about the leave block on the Crimson trees I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s also got hoglands baby hoglands and piglens to offer here they naturally spawn and generally speaking just like the Warped Forest this is one of the most

Interesting biomes in the game so I am going to put it in the Magnificent tier first one up there next up we have the dark oak biome so this one is actually a lot different than other forests I think this is where Minecraft really started to actually develop on their forests and

Making them unique from one another so with this the trees are very very widely different compared to normal trees as well as brown and red mushrooms spawn within this forest and most of all or I guess you’ve probably least of all since it’s so rare Woodland Mansions

Exclusively spawn here this is the only biome that you can find them in and because they are already have a rare percentage on top of that he that’s why you never run into them they’re super super rare in any given Minecraft world but because it’s a four smile that

Actually has a lot going for it it’s going to be put in the interesting tier above the birch tree Forest next up we have our first biome in the end and it’s gonna be the main end Island where the dragon spawns this guy man how many speed runs of Minecraft and completions

Of the game have you gone through now there’s not a whole lot of content that can be taken back with you like in your inventory story but what it does offer is you know basically the the end boss of the game and for that I can’t put it

Any lower than interesting but outside of that end dragon fight which don’t get me wrong it’s amazing I I wouldn’t ask for anything else it’s just outside of that fight there’s not much else to the island next up we have deserts now deserts well I guess especially this

Picture here they are kind of barren there’s not a whole lot to them but what they do have is a lot of exclusive items Cactus dead bushes desert temples even those little you know desert Wells that they that are basically useless they have them deserts have a lot going for

It in terms of exclusivity despite having having such a Barren landscape and because of that since we’re judging based off the amount of content they give the player is going to be going in the interesting category next up we have drip Stone caves so this is gonna be our

First cave variant biome uh released in the 1.18 update I believe if I remember correctly these guys are basically just filled the broom with blocks of drip Stone as well as actual you know I believe they’re called pointed trim Stone but other than you know the word

Drip Stone there’s not much that these caves offer it does add a lot of new environment to it but it’s not significant enough for me to put in the interesting category it is only going in the mediocre one next up we have a flower Forest so the only real

Difference between a flower forest and other typical forests you find in the game is the fact that they have a ton of flowers now I don’t know if the top of my head if there are flowers that only exclusively grow in flower forest and if

That’s the case it might be bumped up a tear but as of right now it’s just not different enough from other forests that we already have in the game to where I can’t put it any higher than the Dole category oh I’m so sorry flower Forest

Up next is one of those forests I was talking about we have the regular Oak Wood Forest this guy is going in the mediocre it is probably the most standard of biomes that we have in the game that you typically think about when you hear the word Minecraft and it has a

Decent amount of content to it you’ll find typical forest animals here things like you know sheep cows as well as bees beehives usually bond in these biomes so it’s got a decent amount going for it it has enough to differentiate it from Birch forests and other kinds of forests

But it’s just not really you know super interesting it goes right in the mediocre category next up we have the frozen ocean so this is honestly not too bad of a biome if I do say so myself you have things like hacked ice and blue ice

That can spawn in these as well as things like Strays as well as polar bears and you know polar bear cubs so honestly it’s got enough to differentiate it from a normal ocean to where I’m going to put it in the interesting category next up we have the

Eroded Badlands so this is very similar to the Badlands biome up here only main difference is the terrain as you can see it looks a lot more like the geography that you’d see in places like the Grand Canyon New Mexico Arizona type Vibe but in terms of content it is almost

Identical to the Badlands in fact I might not even should have added this to the list but because it’s here I’m going to be putting in the mediocre category next up we have the ice spikes now this is a very rare biome in Minecraft I don’t get me wrong I I fully understand

That but what it does have to offer is not much different you can find all the items in this biome elsewhere and plentiful of it and considering how rare it is it’s not very practical to go out searching for it so all things considered it is going to be our third

Dull biome next up we have the Soul Sand Valley our next Nether biome these guys have a decent amount to offer they’ve got soul sand as well as that other Soul Sand variant I’m putting the name off the top of my head basically the Soul Sand variant that doesn’t slow you down

And then also what comes with every Soul Sand Valley is a lot of fossils and skeletons lots and lots of skills Athens but because a lot of this stuff can actually be obtained elsewhere in the game I’m only going to be putting it in you know what I might even put it in

Dull I I might change this later but for now it it it’s gonna be going in dull you know no I’m actually gonna put it in mediocre you’re welcome to all the uh Soul Sand Valley stands out there it is not going to be going in the dull

Category today next up we have the jagged Peaks which is our first mountainy biome today these guys um spawn with a lot of goats and a lot of pack snow and those are it’s two main characteristics that it has to offer but it’s also just such a unique setting in

Minecraft you know obviously they were only very recently introduced into the game and perhaps because of that I’ve got a little bit of honeymoon phase to this biome so I’m actually going to be putting it up in the interesting category next up we’ve got the jungle now this this guy is jam-packed with

Stuff obviously you have a lot of exclusive things like jungle logs jungle leaves Coco beans parrots and even things like ocelots and I feel like I’m having the opposite effect of the jagged Peaks where the jungles have been been in the game so long that none of the

Stuff in there is surprising oh you know what I also forgot to mention jungle temples but jungle temples are very possible they don’t really have any loot in them but with that all being said I’m actually going to be putting it in the interesting category usually it’s a good

Day when you stumble across the jungle there’s a lot of stuff you can find in there next up we have one of our newest biomes The Mangrove swamp of course it’s got the new exclusive Mangrove type of trees as well as lots of mud and overall just very swampy Vibes just like regular

Swamps but it’s got that added advantage to it over regular swamps where there’s a lot more content in here there’s a lot more to find a lot more to do so this one just like the jungle is going to be going in the interesting category next

Up we have the Lush caves so this cave biome actually has a lot more going for it compared to the drip Stone caves yeah of things like glowberries as well as lots of moss and drip leaves and I believe axolotls can also spawn in drip Leaf caves and for all those factors I

Think there’s a lot more to offer and a lot more to do in a drip Leaf cave I’m sorry I’ve been saying triple Escape I mean Lush cave a lot more dude a lush cave than drip Stone and for that fact I’m going to be putting it in the

Interesting category man it feels like the rest of them here are are Heavy Hitters I’m gonna have a lot more in the top categories but to start off with these Final 14 is actually going to be the nether wastes which is going in the Dole since the 1.16 update the

Netherways has felt like the transitory biome when getting to the other cooler biomes in the nether so similar to how the beaches are this is kind of the in-between there’s not a whole lot here the only thing that it does have exclusive to it unlike these other biomes is the fact that Nether

Fortresses can only spawn in this biome but even then I feel like Nether fortresses are kind of their own thing if that makes sense I don’t know basically no other waists are very ugly big and there’s not a whole lot to do in them other than to try and get to the

Other nether biomes next up we have a coral ocean here or I believe they’re called War motions something like that either way the main drive and appeal of this biome is the amount of coral and tropical fish you can find here that’s basically what it’s all about and

Because it’s only about that it does it very very well you’re not going to see any complaints from me about the quality of the coral reefs in these biomes outside of coral reefs though that’s about all it offers from different ocean biomes and because of that I can’t put

It any higher than the mediocre tier next up oh man is is this even you know a question the mushroom Palm easy esteer Magnificent the only biome in the game that you where you can find mushroom biomes mycelium and technically you can find the big mushrooms and dark oak

Forest but regardless this is still just such a unique biome and such a rare one too and now all the way from the magnet distance here we have the planes biome our most standard of biomes in the entire game right right alongside the Oak Forest and because of that it’s

Going to be going right in the mediocre tier actually you know what I just thought about it I’m gonna be putting it in the adult tier there’s not really much it has to offer on its own of course it’s iconic because it’s been one of the longest standing biomes in the

Game probably 12 13 years at this point but it also means that everything in this biome can be found in all these other biomes there’s not much that it has That’s Unique for it I feel like it’s one of those biomes you stay in to set up your base but not to really

Explore next up we have the Savannah Biome these guys are gonna be going in the yeah the interesting category it’s on the more unique side of our forced biomes that we have with the Savannah trees that we have as well as I believe mules and donkeys can spawn in this

Biome if I’m correct if I’m wrong in that someone will let me know and call me out for it in the comments but I I believe they can spawn in this biome so hence why it’s going in the interesting category next up it’s probably even hard

To tell what this is on the picture but this is the deep dark and 100 it’s going in the Magnificent I don’t think I could even talk about all that it has to offer with skulk all the different skull variation blocks and ancient cities the warden I mean oh my gosh there’s there’s

So much that these biomes have to offer so yes 100 it’s going in the Magnificent here next up we have the snowy planes and it’s essentially planes but with snow and unfortunately snow is just not enough to bring it up an entire tier so it is going to be remaining in the dull

Category just with it you know there are two planes Brothers right here next up we have the shattered savannas now these guys don’t typically offer anything extra that Savannahs have and are also a lot rare because of the terrain that they have this is probably the one

Exception I’m going to be making on this list and it’s not even really an exception it’s just because you can’t find this terrain anywhere else in the game these guys are insane you would travel the world looking for a Bible like this to set up a basin and for that

And only for that it gets up to the mediocre tier and not Dull next on the list we have the snowy tiger now I just mentioned that no is simply not enough to change something from dull To Mediocre or interesting but snowy tiger actually has a little bit more going for

It of course first off it’s got a different wood type making it you know just a little bit more unique but then also foxes can spawn in this biome and berries so it’s got a little bit more going for it than simply just adding snow regardless anyways it’s going to be

Going in the mediocre tier next up we have the Stony Peaks so it’s very similar to this biome right up here the jagged Peaks but of course there’s a lot less snow I believe goats can still spawn on this biome I’m not 100 sure but you’re not going to find very much

Powdered snow here here and because of that it’s a little bit less exclusive than the Snowy Peaks it’s going to be going in the mediocre tier next on the list we have the swamp bomp is um it’s a pretty unique biome honestly I think it’s one of Minecraft’s best forests and

I know we have a lot of force on this list but they did a good job with this one obviously it looks very distinctly unique compared to the others and the trees it offers are just Oak but the other things it has is pretty good witch Huts can spawn here as well slimes

Commonly spawn here which is one of the most sought after mobs in the game for a variety of reasons you know leads redstone contraptions slime blocks etc etc and for that it is barely barely going to make its way into the interesting category oh wow these final

Three are some some Heavy Hitters first up we have the newly introduced Cherry Grove biome I think I mentioned this before with some other biomes but the honeymoon phase with a bio not to mention all the other unique aspects it has to it with the Cherry Oaks the

Cherry blossom petals as well as they’re like flowers on the ground I’m I’m not remembering what they’re called off the top of my head but essentially they litter them around with these beautiful pink petals it is going to be going up in the interesting category and our final two will probably not surprise

Very many people but warped Forest is also going to be going up here in the Magnificent here it’s got all the same attributes as a Crimson Forest except instead of piglons and hoglands you have Enderman which are arguably a lot more useful than hoglins and piglens plus I

Think the look of the blue in the nether is a little bit better than the red and last but not least we have the biome and Highlands which is also going to be going in the Magnificent tier these guys have coarse fruit as well as entities

And that’s really the main reason you go to the end you go through the entire Dragon boss fight and leave the island just to get to these outer end islands and find an End city as well as coarse fruit but with that being said that is

My complete biome tier list if you agree with me if you disagree with me let me know in the comments but either way make sure to like And subscribe I’m looking to continue to grow this channel so if you’re willing to join me I’m willing to

Have you here with a journey with all that being said I will see you guys in the next one
