Using the /locatebiome Command
The fastest way to teleport to a specific biome in Minecraft is using the /locatebiome command. This command finds the nearest instance of your target biome and provides coordinates you can teleport to.
Here’s the basic syntax:
/locatebiome minecraft:biome_name
For example, to find a cherry grove biome, you’d type:
/locatebiome minecraft:cherry_grove
The game will respond with coordinates like “The nearest Cherry Grove is at [2304, ~, -1856] (2935 blocks away)”. Copy these coordinates for the next step.
Teleporting to the Located Biome
Once you have the coordinates, use the teleport command:
/tp @s 2304 ~ -1856
The tilde (~) keeps your current Y-coordinate, which is usually what you want. If you prefer to specify an exact height, replace the tilde with a number like 70.
Common Biome Names for Commands
Here are some popular biomes and their exact command names:
- Cherry Grove: minecraft:cherry_grove
- Bamboo Jungle: minecraft:bamboo_jungle
- Mangrove Swamp: minecraft:mangrove_swamp
- Deep Dark: minecraft:deep_dark
- Mushroom Fields: minecraft:mushroom_fields
- Ice Spikes: minecraft:ice_spikes
Requirements and Limitations
You’ll need cheats enabled or operator permissions to use these commands. In single-player worlds, enable cheats when creating the world or open to LAN with cheats on. The /locatebiome command searches in a large radius but won’t find biomes that are extremely far away.
If the command returns “Could not find that biome nearby”, try exploring in different directions or using a seed with guaranteed biome spawns. For the ultimate Minecraft adventure with endless exploration possibilities, discover our collection of exciting sandbox and building experiences.
TL;DR
Use /locatebiome minecraft:biome_name to find coordinates, then /tp @s [x] ~ [z] to teleport there. Requires cheats enabled.
