Top 5 Minecraft biomes that are difficult to survive

Minecraft's far and wide world has all sorts of biomes. Each biome is entirely different, depending on various factors like height, temperature, waterbody, etc. As Minecraft is a survival game, some biomes are not ideal for players to live and survive in.

Biomes are areas of a map with a particular kind of environmental conditions. There are over 61 different types of biomes in Minecraft, including Nether and End realms. Out of them, biomes like Plains or Forest are among the safest biomes as they don't pose much threat to players' lives.

On the other hand, some biomes are very dangerous for players.

When players first enter the End realm, it can be one of the most challenging biomes to survive in. Ender Dragon and loads of Enderman reside on the main End island.
