A '''frozen river''' is an ice topped variant of the [[Minecraft:river]] that replaces it in cold regions.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
In a frozen river biome, the water is completely covered in a layer of [[Minecraft:ice]]. Riverbeds consist of [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:sand]], [[Minecraft:gravel]], and [[Minecraft:clay]], and are one of the few places where clay generates, alongside [[Minecraft:Lake (disambiguation)|lakes]], [[Minecraft:swamp]]s, [[Minecraft:lush caves]], and in the shallow variants of [[Minecraft:Frozen Ocean|frozen]], [[Minecraft:Cold Ocean|cold]], and [[Minecraft:Lukewarm Ocean|lukewarm]] oceans, as well as normal [[Minecraft:ocean]]s. [[Minecraft:Seagrass]] does not generate on the riverbed. While [[Minecraft:sugar cane]] can generate alongside a frozen riverbank, it often uproots itself after generation due to the water being frozen. [[Minecraft:Oak tree]]s and grass can still generate here if this biome generates on land. Sometimes, frozen rivers can generate next to regular [[Minecraft:taiga]] biomes, as these are able to generate in the same temperature range as frozen rivers.<ref>{{bug|MC-239444||Frozen rivers can generate in the middle of taiga biomes|WAI}}</ref><br />
<br />
With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], frozen rivers use default environmental settings with a strong cold color grading, making the biome appear colder blue.<br />
<br />
== Mobs ==<br />
[[Minecraft:Stray|Strays]], a variant of [[Minecraft:Skeleton|skeletons]] can spawn here{{only|be|short=true}}. In ''Bedrock Edition'', like some other cold biomes, only strays, skeletons and [[Minecraft:slime]]s can spawn as well as [[Minecraft:drowned]]. [[Minecraft:Salmon]] spawn in the water here. {{IN|je}}, no land based [[Minecraft:passive mobs]] spawn. {{IN|be}} however, [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s and [[Minecraft:polar bear]]s spawn on land here.<br />
<br />
The following mobs naturally spawn here:<br />
