Desert

A desert is an expansive arid biome mainly consisting of sand. It is notable for its many structures such as desert pyramids and villages, and its dangerous hostile mob variants.

Deserts are uncommon, making up around 3% of the Overworld by area. However, they tend to be large when they do occur.

Deserts generate in areas with very high temperatures and are more likely to generate in areas with medium to high erosion values. They can generate in lower erosions, but usually as a separation between a badlands biome and the oceans with stony shores.
