	Generated in high weirdness values, ice spikes are most commonly separated from snowy plains by [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s. Besides weirdness, ice spikes also require low [[Minecraft:humidity]] values during world generation, meaning that they never border any forested biomes, and more commonly [[Minecraft:windswept gravelly hills]]. When generated near warmer biomes, they border [[Minecraft:~~plains~~]] and rarely [[Minecraft:cherry grove]]s.		Generated in high weirdness values, ice spikes are most commonly separated from snowy plains by [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s. Besides weirdness, ice spikes also require low [[Minecraft:humidity]] values during world generation, meaning that they never border any forested biomes, and more commonly [[Minecraft:windswept gravelly hills]]. When generated near warmer biomes, they border [[Minecraft:Dappled Forest\|dappled forests]] and rarely [[Minecraft:cherry grove]]s.

	Near oceans, ice spikes border [[Minecraft:snowy beach]]es, [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s, and [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]]s depending on the terrain. Ice spikes can generate in flatland or hilly terrain but are replaced by [[Minecraft:snowy slopes]] at lower erosion, although they can rarely replace rivers in mountain valleys.

	The ice spikes features large numbers of [[Minecraft:ice spike]]s and [[Minecraft:ice patch]]es dotted across its landscape. Instead of grass blocks, [[Minecraft:snow block]]s cover the ground. Vegetation is extraordinarily scarce, as it can only appear in locations where the underlying dirt was exposed during terrain generation.

Vegetation is extraordinarily scarce, as it can only appear in locations where the underlying dirt was exposed during terrain generation.

	Because the whole biome experiences [[Minecraft:snowfall]], [[Minecraft:lightning]] typically doesn't strike within it. [[Minecraft:Rabbit]]s and [[Minecraft:polar bear]]s spawn at daytime, as well as most common hostile mobs plus [[Minecraft:stray]]s and [[Minecraft:zombie horsemen]] at night, the latter only on player-created [[Minecraft:grass block]]s. This is unlike snowy plains {{in\|be}}, where no mobs other than skeletons and strays can spawn.

	Ice spikes have the highest snow accumulation upon generation of any biome {{in\|be}}. On top of the terrain snow blocks, snow generates stacked in many layers which quickly adds up during snowfall.		Ice spikes have the highest snow accumulation upon generation of any biome {{in\|be}}.
