# Biome name

```yaml
name: custom_biome_name
```

Specifies the name of the custom biome. It is typically the same as the file name.

> For example -> `name: forest`

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE**: The name must be unique!
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE**: Do not use spaces; use underscores `_` instead.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
`Some biomes share the same names as the Minecraft vanilla ones. This is normal because, by default, the eden.yml generator attempts to replicate the vanilla biomes.`
{% endhint %}

### Biome Manager plugin

&#x20;If the [extensions.use-biome-manager-plugin](../../../extensions#biome-manager-plugin) property is enabled in the `main.yml` file and you own the plugin, the Minecraft client will recognize this as a custom biome named `paradiseland:custom_biome_name` with your specified custom colors, sounds, and more.
