Biomes

Plains

The Plains biome was the first biome ever added to Minecraft, even before the Forest biome. 

Structures: You will often find villages here because it is nice and flat. You can also find Pillager Outposts, Ruined Portals, Mineshafts, and Strongholds. Now, these structures can generate in almost any biome, but the Plains are no exception.

Features: Plains biomes have few trees but often generate near a forest. They are nice and flat, so they are a good place to settle.

Mobs

Plains are home to many iconic passive mobs, such as cows, pigs, and chickens. Below is a list of mobs that can be found in this biome.

• cow

• pig

• sheep

• chicken

• horse

• donkey

Mobs only found in this biome

none

Desert

The Desert biome is not a good place to live in, unless you make your base on the edge with a plains and/or forest biome nearby.

Structures: Deserts are home to some biome specific structures such as desert wells, which are basically useless, desert temples (only found in mesas and deserts), and villages, which are only found in plains, deserts, taigas, savannas, and snowy plains.

Features: very barren, with a few hazards 

Mobs

Deserts are home to very few mobs, with many mobs only spawning in the desert.

Forest

This is another common and iconic biome that is a good place for a base. They provide lots of wood, can have very good caves, and have lots of flowers (not a big deal but for some reason people like dying stuff), and also have many passive mobs.
