5 best Minecraft biome mods in 2023

Biomes are regions in Minecraft that have a particular type of terrain generation, set of blocks, flora, and fauna. The moment players enter the game's world, they spawn in a biome located in the Overworld realm. Even other realms, like the Nether and the End, have different biomes to explore.

Biomes are one of the most integral features of the game since players are encouraged to head out, find new places, collect blocks or items, and interact with mobs.

However, there are only a few types of biomes in vanilla Minecraft. For more variety, players can download mods that specifically add new biomes to the game. There are many mods that help players find new biomes and change the vanilla biomes.
