Villages and desert temples may offer refuge and valuable loot, desert wells may serve as a rare source of water, and fossils can provide large numbers of bone blocks and bone meal, or simply a neat paleontological find, while pillager outposts are the only source of wood on the desert surface.ĭeserts are more likely to generate in areas with high erosion values, which means that the terrain in which they generate is generally flat but with occasional hills, similar to the ones found in windswept hills biomes.

Deserts make up for their barrenness by featuring a relatively large number of structures, such as pillager outposts, villages, desert pyramids, fossils, and desert wells. Lava ponds may still generate water may still generate if the altitude dips low enough, allowing for sugar cane. The surface is made entirely of sand, with sandstone generating underneath the sand to prevent it from falling into caves below. Among the mobs that can spawn in the desert, only rabbits spawn in the wild, while villagers, cats, cows, sheep, pigs and camels appear in desert villages. Desert biomes are quite barren, with the only vegetation being cacti and dead bushes.
