How to play Minecraft single-biome challenge

The Minecraft single-biome challenge is unique, wherein players must survive and live in one biome. It is a rather distinctive take on the vanilla gameplay, limiting the player's ability to forage for resources and items in multiple areas across the world. It's a great way for vanilla players to enhance their hardcore gameplay with an added layer of difficulty.

Here's everything you need to know to play the Minecraft single-biome challenge.

The Minecraft single-biome challenge is essentially a variant of vanilla gameplay where players create a world with only a single biome. Since some resources and items are found in specific biomes only, this makes it challenging for players to survive, relying on chests and the wandering traveller for those items.

That said, here's how you can play the Minecraft single-biome challenge:

1. Create a new world.
2. Head over to the World tab.
3. Cycle through the world types till it displays a Single biome.
4. Now, you can head over to the Customize tab to select the preferred biome or leave it as is to randomize the spawn, adding another level of challenge.
5. Now, you can make additional adjustments to game rules or other aspects to suit your gameplay. However, it is recommended to leave the settings to default for the best experience.
6. Head over to the Game tab and select the Game mode. Once done, hit the Create World button to play the Minecraft single-biome challenge.

Once done, you can jump into the single-biome challenge and survive. Since you are locked to one biome in Minecraft, it will be difficult for you to come across a diversity of materials and items. However, the single biomes will have the usual density of ores and items, allowing you to find resources and structures to essentially beat the game.

You will need to explore every inch of your world to find items that are normally scattered across different biomes. However, if you want a helping hand, use our handy Minecraft seed map to locate nearby structures and resources (we promise not to tell). For an even greater difficulty, you can try this challenge in a hardcore world and earn the ultimate bragging rights.
