6 new biomes Minecraft should add in future updates

Minecraft biomes are regions with unique geography, plants, mobs, and other characteristics and each one could change depending on how a player approaches them. With forests, deserts, caves, oceans, and more already in the game, further additions will only enhance its longevity.

Minecraft relies on its constant stream of updates to keep players coming back to the game. Adding new biomes not only improves the visual variety but also opens up opportunities for new blocks, resources, and gameplay mechanics.

On that note, this article will be listing six such biomes that Minecraft should consider adding in their future updates.

1) Volcanic islands

Volcanic islands could bring a new fiery dynamic environment to the game, featuring towering volcanoes. These biomes could include a unique type of wood called “charcoal planks,” crafted from special trees growing in this area.

The islands could also have black sand, which can be crafted into a new black sandstone block family. Lava flows and occasional eruptions could add a touch of danger, making this biome both beautiful and challenging.

New hostile mobs exclusive to this biome could be added. Including the Red Dragon could work in this biome.

A peach forest biome could add a pop of color to Minecraft’s natural palette. These forests would feature peach trees with cream-orange leaves, providing a refreshing change from the usual greens.

The trees could yield a new type of wood with a soft, pastel hue, perfect for builders looking for new design options. Additionally, peach fruit could be a potential new food source. Golden peaches could be crafted and used to grant player immortality for a minute or two.

These new peach plank blocks could pair well with cherry planks or could be a replacement block for them.

3) Amber caves

Amber caves could add a glowing, mysterious underground biome. The caves would feature amber blocks with a yellowish-orange hue, potentially could be semi-transparent or textured like amethyst.

These caves could also introduce rare fossils that can be uncovered using a brush, providing players with new decorative items. The warm glow of amber would make these caves a stunning addition to Minecraft’s underground world.

New ancient mobs could be uncovered here, which would give the brushes more use. Apart from mobs from the past, there could be new ancient tree saplings.

4) End forest

The End dimension has long needed an update, and an End forest biome could be the perfect solution. The forest would feature towering purple fungi and plants. This biome would fit seamlessly into the dimension’s alien aesthetic.

It could also introduce new mobs, resources, and blocks, making the End more rewarding to explore. Adding one or two biomes would greatly serve the End, as the dimension currently offers very little to players.

Maybe new structures could also be added to the forest, and variants of enderman specific to this biome could also excite the fans.

5) Mushroom caves

Mushroom caves could be a special underground biome connected to the rare mushroom fields biome. These new Minecraft caves would feature giant mushrooms and unique flora, creating a fun and magical underground environment.

A new glowing mushroom block could serve as a light source, offering builders more creative options. New types of mushrooms could be added too. This biome would give players more reason to seek out mushroom fields.

Since there are already shroomlights that act as glowing mushroom blocks, a new mob that could be bottled up for light could be added. This would replace the fireflies as well.

6) White beach

White beaches could bring a tropical vibe to Minecraft. Featuring bright white sand, perfect for creating stunning builds, this biome could also add palm trees, that could yield a new type of wood.

A white sandstone block family could also be introduced, expanding the options for builders. This biome would be a serene and scenic addition to the game. With palm trees, coconuts would also be added as a food source.

Crabs could be the perfect addition to this biome after losing the Mob vote to armadillos. It would have dropped crab claw, an item that could let players reach a longer block distance.

Minecraft’s biomes are a cornerstone of the game’s charm, and more additions would only add to the experience. Volcanic islands, peach forests, amber caves, End forests, mushroom caves, and white sand beaches each bring features that could excite Minecraft players.
