Biomes in Minecraft can be very strange and often interesting. The Mushroom Biome is one of the most mysterious and strange. While a desert may seem barren and empty, this biome is home to many interesting features. These features range from important to almost unremarkable. Here's everything you need to know about Minecraft's Desert Biome.

20 Minecraft Biomes and Their Secrets

While there is no specific location for the desert biome, it is generally fairly quick to find (unless you are extremely unlucky). This biome will likely stand out right away due to the bright blanket of yellow sand that covers the entire landscape. Players will usually find a desert by generally walking around the main landmass where they spawned (unless they spawned on a small island). A good place to look for a desert biome is near jungle biomes, as deserts have a history of spawning around them frequently. Deserts can appear on the coasts of landmasses or can be landlocked.

While it may seem extremely peaceful during the day, don’t be fooled when the sun goes down. Desert biomes can be extremely hostile at night. Being very open is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Players can see the mobs around them, while the mobs can see the player. If players keep their distance from their enemies, a player can survive very easily. If a player gets within range of a mob, they may have a hard time.

Deserts are known for the desert temples that they have scattered throughout their seemingly endless biome. Desert temples are home to treasure, booby traps, lots of orange colored clay, and one blue colored clay (because why not?). If players are smart enough to realize that the design in the center of the temple floor is actually a signal for the player to dig and reap the rewards, they will realize that beneath the floor lies the treasure they seek. However, if they are not careful, the results can be explosive.
