The named biomes
Meadows
Named in the official Sift reveal. A verified resource table, travel route and complete list of inhabitants are not supplied in that announcement.
Carapace
Also named in the reveal. We do not infer armor drops, enemies or a crafting material from the biome’s name.
Read the scenery carefully
Our gallery uses the official announcement’s screenshots. Unless the source explicitly labels a scene, its caption does not assign it to a specific biome. Color, vegetation or a single structure is not sufficient to establish a complete biome boundary.
Artwork can help you recognize the visual direction. It cannot, on its own, give a reliable spawn location, biome size, map seed or farming route.
Why there is no interactive world map yet
A useful map needs verified locations, navigable connections and a clearly identified game version. Publishing a decorative map with invented markers would make exploration harder, not easier.
The wiki’s next map milestone is a reproducible Dungeons II route with documented starting conditions. A future Java/Bedrock map would need its own evidence rather than a copy of the spin-off’s geography.
