The '''desert hills''' were a variant of the [[Minecraft:desert]] that no longer generates since [[Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs: Part II]] and were removed in ''Java Edition''.<br />
== Description ==<br />
Like all other hills [[Minecraft:Biome|biomes]], desert hills featured hillier terrain with occasional overhangs, cliffs, and floating islands. Sand often generated floating here, providing a risk of suffocation when the sand fell down. Desert hills were comprised mostly of [[Minecraft:sand]] and [[Minecraft:sandstone]] like the rest of the desert. No biome-specific structures other than [[Minecraft:Fossil|fossils]], [[Minecraft:Desert pyramid|desert pyramids]],{{only|bedrock}} and [[Minecraft:Desert well|desert wells]] generated within this biome, making this variant overall more difficult and less rewarding. Desert hills didn't generate in the thin desert border around a [[Minecraft:badlands]] biome.<br />
<br />
With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], desert hills re-use desert atmospherics, the sky is tinted turquoise-green at daytime and much brighter during the night. Moonlight is much more vibrant blue, and the warm color grading temperature tints everything yellow/orange.<br />
<br />
== Mobs ==<br />
Desert hills used the same mob spawning chances as deserts.<br />
<br />
The following mobs naturally spawned here:<br />
