The sunflower plains biome is a variant of the plains that generate with sunflowers. It is the only biome where sunflowers naturally generate.

Generation

Sunflower plains replace plains at very low humidity in medium temperatures. They generate in high weirdness, often separated from flower forests by rivers or mountain valleys. They border most biomes that plains can border, including cherry groves but never forests or other woodland biomes.

Description

Like the plains, sunflower plains feature a wide, open view with few oak trees that sometimes come with bee nests. Large quantities of sunflowers generate across their landscape, and it is the only biome where sunflowers generate.

Other flowers such as azure bluet, oxeye daisy and cornflower, and short grass, tall grass, and bushes also grow among the sunflowers. In Bedrock Edition, villages and outposts still generate here, but in Java Edition, they do not.[1]

Sunflower plains are populated by the same mobs as plains, including temperate animals with horses, donkeys, and zombie horsemen at night.
