The '''snowy taiga mountains''' or '''cold taiga mutated''' was a rare variant of the [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]] that no longer generates since [[Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs: Part II]], and was removed in ''Java Edition''.

== Description ==
The very rare snowy taiga mountains featured much steeper terrain than the [[Minecraft:snowy taiga hills]], but not as mountainous as the [[Minecraft:Windswept Hills|windswept hills]]. Similarly to the [[Minecraft:taiga mountains]], this variant reached high elevations. The steep elevations made this biome difficult for survival. Structures didn't generate here. Although this was a snowy biome, [[Minecraft:river]]s generated inside snowy taiga mountains were not replaced by [[Minecraft:frozen rivers]].

Because snowy taigas were already very rare, this biome variant was the third rarest in the game, behind the [[Minecraft:modified badlands plateau]] and the [[Minecraft:modified jungle edge]].

== Mobs ==
Snowy taiga mountains used the same mob spawning chances as snowy taigas. 

The following mobs spawned naturally here:
