The plains are common grassland biomes in the Overworld with wide, open terrain and many flowers.

Plains biomes are common and expansive, and commonly border sunflower plains, forests, and flower forests. Plains biomes also generate at colder and warmer temperature ranges, where they border savannas, deserts, and badlands, or taigas and snowy plains, respectively. They are the second most common Overworld biome, after forests.

Plains generate at any type of elevation; in flatland with occasional hills and cliffs next to swamps, mangrove swamps, and all windswept biomes; or in higher inland terrain with fjords, plateaus, and mountains. Common mountain biomes near plains include cherry groves, meadows, and snowy slopes. When it generates at the lukewarm biome temperature range, stony peaks generate instead of jagged peaks/frozen peaks.

Plains are grassy with few terrain features, creating a wide, open view. Many of the grass blocks are covered in short grass or tall grass, with many different flowers. Oak trees generate sometimes; ¹⁄₃ are large, while ¹⁄₂₀ have bees and bee nests.

Some occasional large patches of flowers grow various colors of tulips. Along with flower forests, plains are the only places where tulips generate. Oxeye daisies, cornflowers, dandelions, poppies and azure bluets, sporadically generate within the plains. Bushes also generate in small patches.

Villages generate in plains, using oak planks and logs. Pillager outposts generate here as well.

Horses and donkeys spawn in plains biomes, as well as hostile zombie horses during the nighttime. Common temperate animal variants also spawn.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:
