Ranking coldest to warmest Minecraft biomes

Minecraft consists of a wide variety of biomes that make up the in-game worlds players love to explore. Each Minecraft biome is unique in many different ways, one of those being climate.

Being the complex game that it is, Minecraft has a weather feature that gives every biome a specific type of temperature, making some biomes colder or warmer than others. This can affect crop growth, mob spawning, and other quality of life elements of the game.

For multiple reasons, it can be important for players to know the temperature of the biomes they’re working in. Because there are so many Minecraft biomes to keep track of, the article lists each one in order from coldest to warmest.
