Large Biomes
 |
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition. |
Large Biomes is a world type that generates Overworld worlds at a higher scale than in normal worlds. It is intentionally programmed to not affect Nether biomes at all.[1]
This world type is a part of the Legacy Console Edition, but not the Bedrock Edition.

Generation[edit]
Large Biome worlds are generated as Default worlds, but scaled 4x (multiplied by 4 along the X and Z axis), causing the biomes of the Overworld to be expansive. A Default and Large Biome world sharing the same seed are geographically the same, overall. Rivers are not larger than they are in a default world.
The player can use a map to gain a visual representation of the scale of the biomes in their world.
