These are the 23 Biomes in Minecraft: Xbox One Edition
You must travel through at least 17 of them for the achievement to pop. I have confirmed that it does count if you are on multiple maps, also you will find every biome in the tutorial level. If you need a picture of each area head over to http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Biome

1. River (Water only a few blocks deep and a short distance shore to shore)
2. Frozen River (Same as above frozen over)
3. Taiga (Area with only spruce treas and ferns, only spawns sheep)
4. Taiga Mountain (Same as above on a mountain)
5. Cold Taiga (Snowing Taiga)
6. Cold Taiga Mountain (Mountain Snowing Taiga)
7. Extreme Hills (cliffs)
8. Plains (Vast open area with no trees, or very few treas or hills)
9. Ice Plains (frozen over plains)
10. Forest (mixture of many trees, but missing the vines of swamps and jungles)
11. Swampland (short trees with vines and grey colored ground with mushrooms)
12. Swampland Mountain (same as above on a mountain)
13. Mushroom Island (Island with giant red and brown mushrooms)
14. Mushroom Island Shore(Same as above but where the sand meets the water)
15. Beach (Large area of sand that meets an ocean)
16. Cold Beach (Same as above but with snow on it)
17. Jungle (Large bright green trees and bushes covered in vines, coco beans grow on the trees)
18. Jungle Mountain (same as above but on a mountain)
19. Jungle Edge (This is questionable, but its where you will see the forest trees meet the jungle trees)
20. Desert (Large open areas of sand that have cacti)
21. Ocean (Very large and deep patches of water)
22. Nether (Its the nether...how else do you describe it)
23. The End (Where you fight the Ender dragon)

I have also read on various sites that the Village, Cave, Ravine, and Deep Ocean are also Biomes. Since you only need 17, it is best to stick with the ones that are not duplicated (i.e. Jungle, Jungle Edge, Jungle M). Please let me know if any of these are wrong or extras need to be added.

Thanks to r3volv3r789 who said, "If you're not able to figure out which biomes you are missing just go here and jump into the cave that is behind you after you start. These are the rare biomes: 90296315345015956."
DaOverUnderFor those wondering, the best way of doing this is to walk around in one world. Unlike the 360 version the world extends waaaaaaaaay beyond the map you can see (the one you hold in your hand).

I tried creating new worlds, spawning, and exiting if I didn't get any progress. That didn't work very well for me. I didn't get any progress in 45 minutes. I think it only spawns you near certain biomes, and it most definitely doesn't spawn you near a village which you need as a biome.

Capt EggcellentDoes this have to be done on one map?
Posted by Capt Eggcellent on 07 Sep 14 at 11:42
FullMoonBeaverI reckon it is across any maps you play on. I ave had progress update across 3 maps that I have been on.

Page DaemonI highly recommend using the tutorial world for this. There's lots of variety not too far from the starting point.
Posted by Page Daemon on 07 Sep 14 at 18:36
MemoriesofweThe tutorial world is always the best place to get achievements. It is made to include everything the game has to offer. Even knowing what I am looking for I still have only found 11 of the 23.

KinectKid333I did not know that Nether and End were considered biomes.

LegendOfKenr3volv3r789 what is that?
Posted by LegendOfKen on 21 Sep 14 at 07:04
Page Daemon@LegendOfKen - That's a world seed. Enter that when creating a new world and you will end up in the world that @r3volv3r789 is talking about.
Posted by Page Daemon on 21 Sep 14 at 07:06
GammyGreenGiant@legend Snap your achievement to check the progress in %. 17 biomes so, it's pretty much 6% complete for every biome found

D3AD JESTRThanks r3volv3r789, I only needed one more so the achievement popped as soon as I loaded your suggested seed :)

xQu33nEmblaI was missing a few of the biomes and had no clue which one that was. Thanks to r3volv3r789 seed, the achievement unlocked after I went out of the cave on the other side with all the snow on the ground. So thanks a bunch for sharing this!
Posted by xQu33nEmbla on 24 Sep 14 at 18:26
MemoriesofweAdded r3volv3r789's seed to the solution. Thank you for verifying!
Posted by Memoriesofwe on 24 Sep 14 at 19:16

BastiXS96it has to be done in survival? or can it be done in creative too?
Posted by BastiXS96 on 16 Nov 14 at 17:46
MemoriesofweIf you try to enter creative, a message pops up that says all achievements will be blocked. You must be insurvival to get any achievement in the game, including this one.

Smasher39r3volv3r789 must have the magic seed, because I was only at 60ish% and as I was walking through the cave the achievement popped! Thanks r3volv3r789!

SpitzstiQzI'm doing this on the Playstation 4 and that seed worked for that too, just in case anyone was interested.

XXXICenturyMattI'm on the Xbox 360 version and r3volv3r789's seed worked for me too. Achievement unlocked immediately. Looks like ice plains. Seriously, thank you r3volv3r789.

SaVaGeStRiKeR11Could someone invite me to a game on the 360 and then like walk me through each biome?
Posted by SaVaGeStRiKeR11 on 23 Jun 15 at 23:05

Hexa Foxr3volv3r789's seed no longer works. I do not see any ice anywhere. I have tried several times.
Posted by Hexa Fox on 07 Jan 16 at 01:47
MemoriesofweThat seed location only has the rare biomes, not all of them. You will still need to wander the map to get the rest of the biomes. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Posted by Memoriesofwe on 07 Jan 16 at 01:51
DrMmmPieWith the latest update there is now 40 biomes, so its a hell of a lot easier to get.
Posted by DrMmmPie on 12 Apr 16 at 22:19
MrMoo1985I had this achievement unlock on my Xbox One, after loading up a battle mini game, and not through exploring the different biomes across multiple world maps
