Structures in this biome

The following structures can generate in savanna:

  • Village — Villages are the most common inhabited structure. They generate in plains, desert, savanna, taiga, snowy and (since 1.19) meadow biomes, and their building style follows the biome underneath them.
  • Pillager Outpost — Pillager outposts are watchtowers guarded by pillagers, with a caged allay in newer versions. They never generate within a few hundred blocks of a village.

Finding a savanna in your world

Biome placement depends on the world seed and the Minecraft version. Open your seed on the seed map, then pan around: biome shading shows where each biome sits, and structure layers show what generates inside it.

Note that biome rendering requires the WebAssembly generation engine described in the seed map documentation. Structure candidate positions, chunk geometry and slime chunks are computed exactly without it.
