How to change a biome in Minecraft

Type /fillbiome ~-16 ~-16 ~-16 ~16 ~16 ~16 minecraft:cherry_grove in chat as an operator to turn the area around you into a cherry grove.

fillbiome

Changes the biome in a box of blocks, for example to turn part of a world into a cherry grove.

/fillbiome <from> <to> <biome> [replace <filter>]

Examples

/fillbiome ~-16 ~-16 ~-16 ~16 ~16 ~16 minecraft:cherry_grove

Turns the area around you into a cherry grove.

/fillbiome ~-32 -64 ~-32 ~32 320 ~32 minecraft:plains replace minecraft:desert

Converts desert to plains in a column.

Arguments

fromRequired
First corner.
toRequired
Opposite corner.
biomeRequired
Biome ID, for example minecraft:plains.
filterOptional
Only replace this biome or #tag.

What it does

Sets the biome for every cell in the area, which changes grass and water colors, weather and which mobs spawn there. Biomes are stored in 4 by 4 by 4 cells, so the edges snap to that grid. Add replace <filter> to only change cells of one biome or biome tag.

Good to know

  • Needs operator permission level 2.
