The Orchard is a sparsely forested biome with distinct grass and foliage colors, and characteristic flowering oak trees. Rose bushes and oxeye daisies spawn in this biome, as well as sprouts. There is not a lot to eat here immediately, until a farm is set up. However, the large areas of grass and the ponds allow for quick farm-building, making it a relatively easy biome to survive in. The leaves can also be broken to obtain apples for consumption.
History[]
Before Minecraft 1.8, Apple Trees dominated the biome, in which the leaves had chances of dropping an apple, (please see Apple Tree for more details of the tree and the leaves). Before it was a sub-biome of the Plains, now it is redesigned and independent. However, they were removed because they made it too easy to gain apples. The only trees were small oak trees, and they were much more spread out. Orchards were also sub-biomes of the vanilla Plains biome, but were made separate in 1.8. In 1.10, the trees were modified to be more spread out, and small shallow lakes appear across the biome sometimes too. In 1.13.2, Orchard was once again made into a sub-biome of the Plains biome, and in 1.18, it was changed back to its own biome again.

Trivia[]
- The BoP Orchard is different from real-life orchards: ones in real-life are usually human-made for commercial purposes. There are a few instances of apple orchards growing naturally, however.
- The new design of the biome is a combination of the removed Dense Forest, the old Orchard, and possibly the Overgrown Greens.
