Where to find cold and warm mobs in Minecraft

The latest Minecraft updates have introduced variants for a host of popular mobs like cows, pigs, and chickens. Despite being purely cosmetic changes, this update brings much-needed diversity to players traveling from one biome to another. These styles also enhance the game's visual, spawning mob styles that blend seamlessly with their specific biomes.

That said, here are all the biomes where you will come across the cold and warm mobs in Minecraft.

Note: Apart from natural spawn, you can also spawn specific variants by using the spawn egg. This article lists the natural spawn areas of the mob types.

Here are all the biomes where you can find warm mobs in Minecraft:

Apart from the newly introduced warm and cold variants, players will also encounter the regular variants of mobs like chickens, cows, and pigs in the Mojang sandbox. If you're someone who loves the default look of these mobs that have been present since they were added to the game, you can find them in the following biomes:

• Plains
• Sunflower Plains
• Forests
• Dark Forests
• Flower Forests
• Birch Forests
• Old Growth Birch Forests
• Swamps
• Cherry Groves

It should also be noted that all variants of a mob have the same features and drops—they are purely cosmetic changes and bring no functional differences. The only exception is the introduction of the blue and brown eggs that can be used to spawn the cold and warm chicken variants respectively.

Additionally, the variant of a particular mob is determined by the biome where it spawns. However, when bred by players, the version of the baby mob is not decided by the current biome. Instead, it features a 50% chance of being selected from one of the parents' types. This adds a randomization factor which further enhances the immersiveness that the title is known for.
