	~~A biome has three climate attributes: temperature, downfall and precipitation.~~

	=== Temperature ===		=== Temperature ===
	Each biome has a '''base temperature''' value (see {{Slink\|2=List of biome climates}}), but the actual temperature value at each location in the biome is also affected by the height of the location. Locations with Y≤80 use the base temperature as actual temperature. At Y=81, the actual temperature value randomly fluctuates up and down by -0.00875 — +0.01125 from the base temperature based on a noise on the XZ plane, and at Y≥81 the actual temperature decreases by 0.00125 ({{frac\|1\|800}}) every block up.

Line 768:		Line 766:

	=== Downfall ===		=== Downfall ===
	The downfall value is a number between 0.0 and 1.0 (see {{Slink\|2=List of biome climates}}) mainly used for block colors. When the downfall value is greater than 0.85, the biome is marked as humid, which is related only to the random extinction of [[Minecraft:fire]]. ~~This value doesn't affect~~ the [[Minecraft:~~weather~~]].		The downfall value is a number between 0.0 and 1.0 (see {{Slink\|2=List of biome climates}}) mainly used for block colors. When the downfall value is greater than 0.85, the biome is marked as humid, which is related only to the random extinction of [[Minecraft:fire]].

			Additionally, the downfall controls whether a biome is arid {{In\|be}}; if it is 0.0, no [[Minecraft:rain]] or [[Minecraft:Snowfall\|snow]] occurs. Otherwise, a location is rainable when its temperature value is equal or greater than 0.15, and snowable otherwise.

	=== Precipitation ===		=== Precipitation ===
	~~The~~ precipitation ~~value~~ can be "true" or "false". If the precipitation of the biome is false, no [[Minecraft:rain]] or [[Minecraft:Snowfall\|snow]] occurs. Otherwise, a location is rainable when its temperature value is equal or greater than 0.15, and snowable otherwise.		{{IN\|je}}, precipitation is separate from downfall, which can be "true" or "false".

	~~So, if~~ the base temperature is less than 0.15, it's snowable at any Y level. ~~Even if~~ equal or greater than 0.15, it will still snow above a certain Y level, ~~which are listed below:~~		If the base temperature is less than 0.15, it's snowable at any Y level. If equal or greater than 0.15, it will still snow above a certain Y level, caused by temperature decrease above Y=81.
