5 rarest biomes in Minecraft in 2025

Minecraft has three different dimensions that consist of various biomes. Biomes are essentially regions with specific terrain, block composition, climate, mobs, and more. For example, when players first spawn, they will most likely spawn in a biome like Forest, Beach, Desert, Plains, etc. Among these biomes, some are extremely rare to find in the Overworld.

Here is a list of some of the rarest biomes in Minecraft in 2025.

Pale Garden is one of the newest biomes added to Minecraft and is also the rarest in the entire game. It only covers 0.078% of the surface in the Overworld. Pale Garden is a forest-like biome, generating lots of pale oak trees, which have a similar girth and shape as a dark oak tree. Pale Garden is considered a variant of Dark Oak Forest since they always generate adjacent to one another.

Some pale oak trees will consist of a creaking heart block that can spawn the new creaking mob, which is a hostile creature that spawns at night.

Windswept Gravelly Hills is another extremely rare biome that only covers 0.103% of the surface area in Minecraft's Overworld. Prior to the 1.18 update, this biome was called Gravelly mountains but was originally called Extreme Hills M. It is an old biome and has been the rarest for quite some time before Pale Garden was released in 2024.

The specialty of this biome is that it is made up of large amounts of gravel blocks that replace the top few layers of stone and dirt. Even though it has some grass blocks, hardly any flower or tree grows in this region.
