These biomes are further populated by trees, plants, lakes, lava pits, and passive creatures such as sheep, cows, wolves, and birds. The world is a three-dimensional environment predominantly comprised of textured cubes forming grasslands, mountains, oceans, deserts, and swamps collectively referred to as biomes.
