Dark Oak Forest is an uncommon biome in the Overworld that has some of the best loot in the game, provided a special structure generates in it. This structure is called Woodland Mansion, which is home to the Illager group of mobs. Two of the most powerful Illagers, evokers and vindicators, dwell in this massive structure.

This structure can be raided for some of the best loot items in the game, including emeralds from vindicators and totem of undying from evokers. Furthemore, there are many chests that can hold great loot items.

The End (BE only) or End Highlands (JE only) are biomes in the End realm in which the mysterious End Cities can generate. This structure is protected by shulkers, which are stationary creatures that shoot levitation bullets towards players. The building is filled with some of the rarest loot items in the entire game like shulker shells, elytra, and diamond horse armor.

Hence, the End biomes automatically become the best place to loot for valuable items in Minecraft.

Deep Dark is a spooky biome that generates underground in the Overworld realm. It was recently added with the Minecraft 1.19 Wild update, along with a new structure called Ancient City. This structure only generates in the Deep Dark and contains some of the rarest loot items in the game like enchanted golden apples, echo shards, disc fragments, etc.

However, it can be quite tricky to loot this area since it is infected with sculk blocks that can summon the warden. The warden is a terrifying beast that can easily kill players with one or two hits.

4) Desert

The desert is a barren biome that hardly generates anything interesting worth looting. However, it can either generate desert pyramids or desert villages, which are great locations to loot.

Desert pyramids have a secret underground room at the center of the pyramid that contains four chests with valuable loot like saddles. Whereas, desert villages can provide players with all kinds of resources like food, iron, emeralds, etc.

5) Pale Garden

Pale Garden is a relatively new biome that is essentially a spookier variant of Dark Oak Forest. Though Woodland Mansions can also generate in these biomes, they can be more tempting for the unique pale oak trees and white wood set it offers.

Furthermore, if players encounter the creaking hostile creature, they can attack it to find its creaking heart block and get some resin clumps. These clumps can then be used to create various resin building blocks.
