	[[Minecraft:Seagrass]] generates on the riverbed but cannot replace ice, and [[Minecraft:bushes]] can generate on land atop [[Minecraft:grass block]]s. The rest of the frozen river biome generates exactly the same as any other biome, however, due to the extended coastlines, [[Minecraft:firefly bushes]] and [[Minecraft:Sugar Cane\|sugar cane]] are more common, the latter uprooting itself due to the freezing water. When cutting through an [[Minecraft:Ice Spikes\|ice spikes]] biome, [[Minecraft:spruce]] trees are often placed on land in the frozen river, although the biome itself does not generate them.

	With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], frozen rivers use default atmospherics with a strong cold color grading, making the biome appear colder blue. They use cold sunlight, which appears slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.
