}}[[File:Savannabiome.png|thumb|A savanna biome.]]
The '''savannas''' are arid [[biomes]], featuring scattered acacia [[tree]]s. There are three different variants of the savanna biome.

== Variants ==
{{for|variants existing before 1.18|Biome/Before 1.18}}
There are three savanna biome variants:
* {{BiomeLink|Savanna}}
* {{BiomeLink|Savanna Plateau}}
* {{BiomeLink|Windswept Savanna}}

== Description ==
Savannas are usually bordered by [[forest]]s and [[plain]]s. [[Acacia]] and small [[oak tree]]s are the two types of trees that grow here; this is the only place where acacia trees naturally generate. As the savannas have arid climates, it never [[rain]]s here and thus [[lightning]] can never naturally strike; however, overcast skies (and daytime hostile [[mob]]s spawning in the case of [[thunderstorm]]s) still apply. [[Grass]] and [[leaves]] in the savanna take on an olive-green color, giving an illusion of dryness.

The '''savanna''' is mostly flat with vast amounts of [[tall grass]] covering the surface. Savanna typically generates bordering a [[desert]], [[forest]] or [[plains]] biome.

[[Village]]s generates in savannas, consisting mainly of terracotta, acacia [[logs]], and [[planks]]. [[Pillager outpost]]s may generate as well.

== Mobs ==
The following mobs naturally spawn here：
