Generated structures


Info

Every specific group of blocks purposefully formed in Minecraft based on coding is part of a natural structure.

The Overworld

The Overworld contains numerous generated structures, at a wide variety of scales.

Terrain

Biomes dictate the shape and height of the world. At this stage, the ground is made entirely of stone, with water filling in most empty spaces below layer 63, with exception for structures.

Mountain

Mountains are hills with extreme slopes and cliffs. Mountains can sometimes have caves through them. On an amplified An amplified world Amplified, stylized in-game in the computer edition as AMPLIFIED, and in Console Edition as Amplified Worlds, is a world type. Contents 1 Generation 2 Video 3 History 4 Issues 5 Trivia 6 minecraft world, mountains are extremely common in all biomes except ocean and swamp biomes.

Floating $$$@@@$$$island$$$@@@$$$

Floating "islands" are structures that float in midair that are not connected to the ground, the sea, hills or cliffs. Floating "islands" are normally just random pieces of floating dirt and stone found near cliffs, but on rare occasions they can be large, floating structures that even have springs and trees on them. Floating Islands are most frequently found in the extreme hills A river bisecting a jungle biome. At the top right is a forest.

Hollows

Hollows are the opposite of floating islands. They look like caves, but they have nothing to do with cave generation (although they may intersect with them). When there are many overhangs, they close together and create a hollow. They have exactly the same floor as the terrain above, depending on the biome that they are located in, unlike caves. Hollows have no specific floor. Grass can generate inside too, and interestingly will survive without light. When they generate under the sea level, they are filled with water. They are extremely rare in the default The Overworld, as seen in an extreme hills and a forest biome The Overworld is the dimension in which all players begin their Minecraft journey.

Customized is a world type that replaces the normal varied terrain of the Overworld with custom features.

Hill

Hills are randomly generated pieces of land in the map. Like stairs, hills are always traversable to their lowest point by virtue of the algorithm which generates them; there is almost always a place on each level from where the next level can be accessed, meaning that the player can climb a hill one level at a time until they reach the top. Cases where this is not true are rare.

Beach

Beaches usually generate next to oceans and cover all nearby shorelines. They come in two different varieties: sand Sand Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 2.5 Tool Renewable No Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Experience Smelted: 0.1 Drops Itself Data values Sand dec: 120 hex: C0 bin: 11000 Red Sand dec: 121 hex: C1 bin: 11001 Name sand This minecraft beach and stone Stone Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 30 Tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Cobblestone (1) Data value dec: 01 hex: 1 bin: 1 Name stone See the block called stone. For minecraft beach. Sandstone is located below sand in sand beaches. Stone beaches are usually steep cliffs that lead straight into the water.


Surface layer

The uppermost layers of the terrain are converted to a biome-dependent material: usually grass blocks and dirt, or sand in deserts and beaches. Podzol is found in mega taiga, mycelium in mushroom island biomes, and red sand is found in the mesa biome. Sandstone is generated under sand.

Basin

Occasionally, instead of being converted to dirt or sand, the top layer is stripped away, leaving a `basin` of bare stone Stone Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 30 Tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Cobblestone (1) Data value dec: 01 hex: 1 bin: 1 Name stone See the block called stone. For minecraft . They bear some resemblance to a geological `shield` (an area of tectonically stable rock that has been exposed to prolonged erosion due to its very old age; it is distinct from the geological term "basin"). They seem to be more common in forest or plains, and are occasionally seen filled with water. Commonly, minerals can be found in these, generally coal ore Coal Ore Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 15 Tool Renewable No Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Experience Mined: 0–2 Smelted: 0.1 Drops Coal (1) Data value dec: 16 hex: 10 bin: 10000 Name coal_ore This article is minecraft and iron ore Iron Ore Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 15 Tool Renewable No Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Experience Smelted: 0.7 Drops Itself Data value dec: 15 hex: F bin: 1111 Name iron_ore See the ore. minecraft .

Prior to the Adventure Update The Adventure Update was a major update to Minecraft focused on fighting, exploration, and adventuring, as well as other aspects. Its content was implemented in Beta 1.8 and Minecraft 1.0. It was announced on Jun. minecraft , oceans were generated as part of the terrain generation algorithm, but since then, they are part of the ocean biome.

River

Rivers are long "strands" of water that cut through or separate biomes. They do not have a current.

For the block, see minecraft settled at the very bottom. In some cases, rivers will generate higher than normal, producing a dry riverbed, sometimes with occasional small water patches.

Lake

Lakes are small bodies of liquid. Water lakes, which are small pools of water springs, can generate above sea level or inside caverns. They can also generate isolated underground, connected to no other structures whatsoever. When in a winter biome, these small lakes are never initially frozen but will turn to ice if exposed. The lakes can also be composed of lava; be that as it may, lakes of lava are much rarer. Lava lakes found at the surface are surrounded by stone (which can be replaced by ore veins such as dirt, gravel and coal). Both types of lake generate with a small air pocket above them, which may result in floating sand, floating snow cover or even the top 2/3rds of trees above the lake. Lava lakes may cause trees to burn away.

Cavern

Caverns are caves and tunnels that are automatically generated under the ground in various places. Caverns are composed mainly of stone, and expose large amounts of ores All of the current ores. Ores are rare stone blocks used to obtain resources. Contents 1 Usage 1.1 As a smelting ingredient 1.2 Further uses 2 Availability 3 Table 4 Video 5 History 6 Gallery minecraft and igneous stones.

Ravines can have small ledges along the top. They can be found at levels 20 to 68, sometimes appearing on the world surface or underwater, forming canyons and trenches. They can go very deep underground, sometimes spawning slimes Slime Health points Big: 16 () Small: 4 () Tiny: 1 () Attack strength Big: 4 () Small: 2 () Tiny: 0 () Size Big: Height: 2.04 Blocks Width: 2.04 Blocks Small: Height: 1.02 Blocks minecraft or exposing diamond ore Diamond Ore Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 15 Tool Renewable No Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Experience Mined: 3–7 Smelted: 1 Drops Diamond (1) Data value dec: 56 hex: 38 bin: 111000 Name diamond_ore This article is minecraft . If they reach deep enough, they may also be floored by the lava lakes at level 11. In the Amplified world type, ravines can reach from surface level to bedrock. Ravines can also be found in oceans or rivers having a waterfall from the river/ocean falling into them.

Ravines can connect to caves, dungeons, abandoned mineshafts, and any other generated structures. Due to the large surface area of their walls, ravines often have water and/or lava flowing down them (from springs in the walls, underground lakes, or even openings to the sea).
