He said the cave BIOMES overwrite the Mushroom Island. Mobs can still spawn in Dripstone Caves and Lush Caves, so if one of those biomes happens to generate under a Mushroom Island mobs can spawn there.
Seeing the old biomes at the end really took me back, and made me appreciate how far Minecraft has come!! The old biomes are super nostalgic, but also... would NEVER prefer them to the ones we have now lmao
Give me the old school Soul Sand Valley any day where Netherwart grew in abundance. Pity they killed that 1 and made it so Netherwart can only be found in Nether Fortresses now.

Had to get a PS4 so I could get all the updates past the Aquatic update which is where Crimson Roots were then spawned/generated in the Soul Sand Valleys and Netherwart was removed to the occasional Bastion and Wither/Nether Fortresses.

Can't believe you didn't have anything interesting to say about Soul Sand Valleys... There's a LOT of cool things about it! The only mobs that spawn in Soul Sand Valleys are Skeletons, Ghasts, Endermen (rarely), and Striders. Not only that, but the biome also has special spawning conditions that limit the number of mob spawns for the mobs that spawn in the biome. Because of this, when Nether Fortresses generate in Soul Sand Valleys the spawn rates of the fortress mobs are increased (because Wither Skeletons, Blazes, Zombie Piglins, and Magma Cubes aren't in the list). Secondly, Nether Fossils generate all over the biome, making it a really quick and easy way to get tons of bone meal if you don't have a skeleton farm. Having Soul Speed also makes it the most fun to traverse too.
Finding the deep dark below mountains is true from my experience. Also found a cave from near a mountain that goes down to an ancient city as well. Pretty interesting.

Maybe it’s Mojang trying to teach us a lesson about how fragile the coral reefs are on Earth? But I agree with the sentiment.

I have a question about biomes I read online that eroded badlands are the "rarest" biome, however I haven't found any evidence for those claims nor any actual numbers related to it When I tried to calculate its rarity myself it ended up not being as rare as other biomed like stony peaks or windswept savannas, so I was wondering if anyone knew how biome rarity is calculated and what it even really means

The only thing that the soul sand valley has a use for is getting lots of soul sand/soil for nether highways, and finding lots of fossils. That’s about it though
Just wanted to remind you that we appreciate you, toycat ~ thanks you for continuing to share Minecraft news and facts with us, throughout everything 💜 We love you!!
I wish mojang would localise weather. Therefore, the warmer/humid climates may have rain, while perhaps the plains does not. Code wise, this could be achieved with scores and modifiers. The game already has a way of keeping track of rain with days. However what the game could do is have a score for the world and apply to the biomes. Should a biome qualify for rain on a certain day, it will have rain while a biome that does not qualify won't rain. Humid biomes can have a modifier that increases the score for that biome, as well as dry biomes (like deserts), which could have modifiers that decrease the score for that biome. This may help ensure biomes such as rainforests have more rain, while the savannah won't. Not only that, it may add more variety to biomes with unique weather events. Imagine a savannah with a very low rain score that could be in a drought. Or a tropical beach with a very high rain score would be in a stormy monsoon. The same goes for a snow biomes with a high rain (or weather) score that could have blizzard conditions. Or a desert with a high weather has sand storms.
Special weather conditions may also augment or lead to unique mob encounters. Imagine a blizzard summoning snow golems, or even causing normal snow golems to transform into mosntrous creatures the player has to fight. Or a monsoon causing drowned to spawn on land. Or a new mob entirely that only spawns in a certain weather condition. They could be a boss that revives/activates a new ruin for reneweable loot. They could generate new structures in selected chunks the player can find and expect to find the creature under the right weather conditions. More over, with the decentralised world score for weather, the game can afford to run in seasons. Where the score and modifiers for the biomes change over time. Assuming that mojang would presumably have to adjust the lentgh of time similar to the lentghs of the days and nights. I would consider a season would last 30 in game days (20 min per day x 30 days = 600 real life minutes, or 10 hours) Granted it is a long time, however the seasons could be shortened or the season changed via commands. The idea is for the changes to be gradual. Forcing the fast paced player to slow down as well as let longer running players enjoy the world changing around them. The game has an unfortunate side effect of being stationary or riggid. While mobs, animations, atmoshpere and music could breathe life into the world. A world/server can sadly stagnate over time, because once the player has found everything, done everything. The excitement dies off and leaves the player to keep themselves motivated to keep playing ok their own.
Skeleton trap, that keeps happening and its always weird as hell, like i was at the bottom of the ocean yesterday, and then lightning in front of me, skeleton horse x3, which dont float. I just left.
In part one .. just came back to mc since 1.8, and my world is desert, badlands, bamboo forests, mangrove swamps... Etc around spawn, and lush caves galore. Havent found a spruce tree yet tho and the one wandering villager who had one drowned himself before i could get my emeralds
Outro joke didn’t quite hit the mark, 6/10. Don’t nether fortresses in soul sand valleys spawn more mobs, including wither skeletons, making them good places to farm wither skeleton skulls? 🤔
So disappointing. I thought I'd learn about the desert biome but instead I was shown what one used to look like. Your idea of A-Z is way different from mine!

Caves beneath Mushroom island biomes do not spawn mobs. Unless you leave the biome underground
He said the cave BIOMES overwrite the Mushroom Island. Mobs can still spawn in Dripstone Caves and Lush Caves, so if one of those biomes happens to generate under a Mushroom Island mobs can spawn there.
I think this is the case before caves and cliffs
Edit: It might have been before nether update even
It is pretty safe to mine in the mushroom biome, though. You might run into a spawner, but you don't get any random hostile mobs.
you will certainly be a large horse.
