			These hills were no taller than most other hill biomes in the game, despite the name "mountains". As a hills variant, the biome was almost similar to the [[Minecraft:snowy plains]]. However, [[Minecraft:river]]s generated inside this biome were not replaced by [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s. No structures generated in this biome, though polar bears, rabbits and strays spawned. Caves frequently generated on the sides of the mountains. {{IN\|Bedrock}}, no hostile mobs other than strays, skeletons and slimes spawned here.

			=== Current ===
			{{IN\|be}}, snowy mountains in older worlds still received updates. When generated through [[Minecraft:single biome]] or [[Minecraft:behavior pack]]s, they can also generate new blocks.

			They appear similar to the old snowy mountains, with the difference that [[Minecraft:zombie horsemen]] can spawn at night.

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

== Description ==
These hills were no taller than most other hill biomes in the game, despite the name 'mountains'. As a hills variant, the biome was almost similar to the [[Minecraft:Snowy Plains|snowy plains]]. However, [[Minecraft:River|rivers]] generated inside this biome were not replaced by [[Minecraft:Frozen River|frozen rivers]]. No structures generated in this biome, though polar bears, rabbits and strays spawned. Caves frequently generated on the sides of the mountains. {{IN|Bedrock}}, no hostile mobs other than strays, skeletons and slimes spawned here.

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

== Mobs ==
Snowy mountains used the same mob spawning chances as snowy plains.

The following mobs spawned naturally here:
