Savanna
Savanna — biome.
Obtaining
Natural generation
Savanna is a warm, dry landscape with acacia trees, tall grass, and open plains. Its profile has temperature 2.0, downfall 0.0, and no precipitation. The feature list combines savanna trees and tall grass with warm flowers, sugar cane near water, pumpkins, mushrooms, and firefly bushes near water. Underground passes retain lava lakes, amethyst geodes, monster rooms and the ordinary ore set.

Resources
The open terrain makes the biome a practical source of acacia wood, grass, and common surface materials. Small water features can carry sugar cane and firefly bushes, while the broad sight lines make routes and early shelters easy to survey.
Sounds
Savanna uses the biome music pool while the player is in the biome. Ambient environmental sounds come from the normal Overworld sound system rather than a unique savanna event.

Climate and environment
The creature table includes sheep, pigs, chickens, cows, horses, donkeys, and armadillos. Llamas belong to the separate savanna plateau profile rather than the regular savanna. The regular hostile and ambient groups remain available at night, so the open terrain is easy to read but not automatically safe.
