Comparison between large and normal. The red dot is the origin of the world. Both worlds have the same seed.
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 does not affect Nether biomes at all.[1]
Generation[]
Prior to version 1.18, Large Biomes worlds were generated as Default worlds, but had 16 times as much area (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 were geographically the same, overall. Rivers were not larger than they were in a default world.
Because of the multi-noise parameters used to generate biomes as of 1.18, Large Biomes terrain is no longer geographically consistent with the Default generation using the same seed.
The player can use a map to gain a visual representation of the scale of the biomes in their world.
Large Biomes offer a play experience different from regular sized worlds. If a player starts in an undesirable area, such as a desert, it can be difficult to survive. The generation system also leads to rare biomes being far more difficult to come by, but with more valuable resources when they are eventually found.

A '''glow ink sac''' is an item dropped by a [[glow squid]] upon death. Unlike regular ink sacs, it can be added to [[sign]]s to make glowing text, and can be used to craft glow item frames.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Glow squid]]s drop 1–3 glow ink sacs upon death. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 1–6 with Looting III.
=== Compound creation ===
A glow ink sac can be created from its base [[element]]s, using the [[compound creator]].{{only|bedrock|education}}

[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|150px|An oak sign with a glow ink sac used on it.]]
Glow ink sacs can be used on [[sign]]s or [[hanging sign]]s to make their text brighter in low light levels. This also adds an outline around the text on the sign, the color of which is based on the color of the sign's text. The text does not emit any light, it is only more visible in darkness, similarly to the eyes of spiders and endermen. Normal [[ink sacs]] can be applied to revert glowing text back to default.

[[Wandering Trader|Wandering trader]]s always spawn with 2 [[llama|trader llama]]s, each held with a lead. When a trader llama is detached, either by killing it or the wandering trader, dragging them far apart, or putting the llama in a [[boat]] or a [[minecart]], the lead drops at the llama's position.

=== Leashing mobs ===

[[File:SuspendedCows.png|190px|thumb|Two block tall mobs, such as cows, also suspend at 7 blocks above the ground.]]
{{control|Using}} a lead on a [[mob]] ties the lead to the mob, allowing it to be moved by the player. Multiple mobs can be held by leads at once, but each mob held requires its own lead.
It is possible to leash the following mobs and other entities:

Additionally, [[villager]]s, [[wandering trader]]s, and [[monster]]s other than the ones listed above, can be leashed using a map editor or [[NBT]] editor.
With a mob on a lead held by the player, {{control|using}} the lead on any type of [[fence]] (or [[wall]]{{only|bedrock|short=1}}) attaches the lead to it with a visible knot, tying the mob to it. To attach it to a wall on Bedrock Edition, the player must hold a lead in the main hand.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-108078}}</ref> Multiple leads may be attached to one fence post. A mob tied to a fence tends to stay within 5 blocks of the fence post.
A lead is broken by pressing the {{control|use item}} control on the mob again, hitting the knot, or removing the attached fence post. Leads also break when hit by projectiles. Whenever a lead is removed or broken, it drops as an [[item (entity)|item]] at the location of the mob. However, it does not drop when unleashed in Creative mode.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-79639}}</ref> A lead does not break if the attached animal dies.
A lead can stretch a maximum of 10 blocks. If the mob is able to move towards the player or fence post, it does so. If not, or if the mob is moving very quickly away from the player, the lead breaks.
When the player or the knot is more than 7 blocks above the ground, the mob being leashed becomes suspended.
Most mobs that can be leashed can still be leashed even if attacking the player leashing them, and any attached leads do not break.
[[Wolf|Wolves]] cannot be leashed after becoming angry. Despite this, if they become angry while already leashed, the lead does not break, but it cannot be reattached when broken through other methods while the wolf is still angry.
A lead attached to a hoglin breaks if it becomes a [[zoglin]].
A lead does not prevent mobs from despawning if they normally would despawn.
When moving downwards and accelerating towards the ground, leashed mobs accumulate fall damage and take it if they hit the ground while still accelerating. When moving up or decelerating (such as when the lead is stretched to its limit), the fall distance is set to one block and the mob therefore does not take any fall damage if it touches the ground.
If the player walks into and back out of a [[nether portal]] while holding a lead connected to a mob, the lead remains attached to the mob. However, if a mob attached to a lead walks into a nether portal, the lead breaks and drops as an item in the other dimension.
A lead can be used to remove a mob from a boat without needing to break the boat, if the mob can normally be leashed.
If a chunk unloads while containing a leashed mob (either by the player walking too far away, or traveling to another dimension via a portal), the lead breaks and drops as an item, leaving the mob free to wander around.

'''Chains''' are metallic decoration [[block]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Chains can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
{{breaking row|Chain|Pickaxe|Wood|horizontal=1}}
=== Natural generation ===
Chains generate in [[bastion remnant]]s and sometimes in [[ruined portal]]s that generate in the Nether. They always generate above [[magma cube]] spawners, also found in [[bastion]]s.
Chains can also generate in [[mineshafts]]. They generate on the sides of a wooden bridge (a mid-air corridor) when the distance between the bridge and the highest solid block below it is higher than the distance to the lowest solid block above it. Chains here generate vertically in a pillar between the bridge and the ceiling. The lowest block of the pillar, connecting the chain to the bridge, is always an [[oak fence]].

== Usage ==
Chains can be used to suspend [[bell]]s, [[hanging sign]]s, or both types of [[lantern]]s (normal lanterns and soul lanterns), as the chain texture connects to the chain of the lantern seamlessly as if it were part of it, and it connects the hanging sign chains together. Chains do not require a supporting block to be placed whether it is on the top, next to it or at the bottom. It can exist completely free-standing in mid air<ref>{{bug|MC-178791}}</ref> and it can be rotated. Chains connect horizontally or vertically, but not across different orientations (so a chain with N orientation does not connect to a chain with E orientation in the adjacent block).
Horizontal chains one block above a surface may be walked over. Horizontal chains two blocks above a surface prevent players from traveling past them. Vertical chains block travel if targeted directly, but may be skirted.
Precision is required, but chains can be walked on, allowing for inconspicuous, although somewhat costly, bridges.
Chains can be pushed by [[piston]]s without being broken.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* A vertical chain, being a solid, but not a full [[block]], allows for many sizes of [[mob]]s and [[player]]s to pass alongside each piece horizontally.
* Despite its name, it cannot be [[crafted]] into [[chainmail armor]].<ref>{{bug|MC-178979}} - Invalid</ref>
* Chains do not stick together when moved by pistons, regardless of orientation.

A sample of a world with large biomes.
Trivia[]
- The scale of biomes can be altered through the
firstOctaveparameters inbiome_sourceof Custom worlds. Decreasing eachfirstOctaveby 2, roughly makes biomes have a similar size to Large Biomes. This affects thetemperature,vegetation,continentalness, anderosionparameters. Conversely, increasing all 4 parameters by more than 2 creates a more rugged terrain. - The Legacy Console Edition added a biome scale slider in TU54 with a "large biome size" option. This differs from large biomes on Java Edition by a scale factor of 4x smaller biomes on Legacy Console. This is due to Legacy Console Edition's default generated worlds using small biomes with 4x smaller biomes compared to default worlds on Java and Bedrock, and "medium sized biomes" 2x smaller than Java/Bedrock.
