The savanna^[a] is an arid grassland biome, featuring scattered acacia and oak trees. It is populated by warm animal variants, llamas, and armadillos, and villages made of acacia wood are commonly found here.

Savannas generate in moderately high temperature zones at low humidity, meaning that they commonly border plains, forests, deserts, badlands, and mangrove swamps. They can also generate close to jungles but never border them. Near lower temperatures, the landscape can transition into sunflower plains and flower forests.

Savannas can generate at any type of terrain, however, in mountainous terrain on plateaus and slopes, they are replaced by savanna plateaus leading to stony peaks. Near swampland, they border their windswept variant instead.

Acacias and small oaks are the two types of trees that grow here. As the savannas have arid climates, it never rains here and thus lightning can never naturally strike; however, mobs can still spawn during dry thunderstorms. Grass and leaves in the savanna take on an olive-green color, giving an impression of dryness.

The savanna is mostly flat with vast amounts of tall grass covering the surface. Dandelions and poppies are twice as common as in most other biomes. Villages generates in savannas, consisting mainly of terracotta, acacia logs, and planks. Pillager outposts may generate as well. Abandoned camps sometimes generate in savannas.​^{[upcoming: Third Drop 2026]}

Farm animals spawn with their warm variants in savannas. Armadillos, donkeys, and horses can also spawn, as well as zombie horsemen during nighttime. Savannas are one of the few biomes where llamas can spawn.‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}

With Vibrant Visuals, savannas use warmish color grading that tints the environment more orange/yellow. The night sky is slightly brighter and moonlight appears more vibrant blue.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:
