Temperature and animal spawning information
I was messing around on my creative single player world to get some data on temperature at different latitudes and altitudes and came up with this:
Latitude |
Average Temp. @ 160 |
Average Temp. @ 252 |
0 |
49.42 |
32.05 |
1000 |
46.26 |
28.9 |
2000 |
42.66 |
25.29 |
3000 |
38.92 |
21.55 |
4000 |
36.03 |
18.66 |
5000 |
31.73 |
14.36 |
6000 |
28.6 |
11.23 |
7000 |
25.52 |
8.16 |
8000 |
21.98 |
4.61 |
9000 |
18.35 |
0.98 |
10000 |
14.56 |
-2.81 |
11000 |
11.04 |
-6.33 |
12000 |
8.62 |
-8.75 |
13000 |
6.28 |
-11.09 |
14000 |
3.36 |
-14.01 |
15000 |
1.26 |
-16.11 |
16000 |
-0.64 |
-18.01 |
17000 |
-2.58 |
-19.95 |
18000 |
-4.91 |
-22.28 |
19000 |
-6.57 |
-23.94 |
20000 |
-7.93 |
-25.29 |
21000 |
-9.44 |
-26.81 |
I then cross checked this against the wiki to get possible animal spawning ranges:
Latitude |
Average Temp. @ 160 |
Average Temp. @ 252 |
Sheep |
Cows |
Pigs |
Chickens |
Horse |
Bear |
Deer |
Pheasant |

Note that different animals have additional spawning requirements that are biome and rainfall dependent. Check the wiki for details. I can make the following broad statements that may help you figure out how far north or south you should go for different animals and temperatures.
- No animals spawn within 2000 blocks of the equator.
- Chickens only spawn between 2000 and 7000 blocks of the equator.
- Sheep start spawning when you are more than 8000 blocks from the equator.
- Both cows and horses start spawning 6000 blocks from the equator but stop when you get more than 15000 blocks from the equator.
- If you liking hunting wild animals, look at least 9000 blocks from the equator.
- The temperature at y252 is about 17 degrees colder than the temperature at y160 no matter how far north or south you go.
- The temperature drops 34.86 degrees for the first 10000 blocks you walk from the equator but only 22.49 degrees after you walk an additional 10,000 blocks.
- The average biome temperature falls below zero once you are more than 16000 blocks from the equator.
- Pigs start spawning just 2000 blocks from the equator and can be found as far as 21000 blocks from the equator.

Cake!
And here I am just picking a location that looks nice :B
Guess that's another reason to love pork

This is amazing information!
Can you do a spread sheet for fruit trees and berries?
