	'''Snowy slopes''' are snowy ~~biomes~~ that often generate on the sides of [[Minecraft:mountains]]. Unlike the [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], this biome is made out of [[Minecraft:stone]] covered with one or more layers of [[Minecraft:snow block]]s and occasional [[Minecraft:powder snow]] patches.		'''Snowy slopes''' are snowy [[Minecraft:biome]]s that often generate on the sides of [[Minecraft:mountains]]. Unlike the [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], this biome is made out of [[Minecraft:stone]] covered with one or more layers of [[Minecraft:snow block]]s and occasional [[Minecraft:powder snow]] patches.

	== Generation ==		== Generation ==
	Snowy slopes generate ~~next~~ to ~~groves~~, ~~most~~ [[Minecraft:~~snowy plains~~]], [[Minecraft:~~ice spikes~~]], [[Minecraft:plains]], [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], and [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s.		Snowy slopes generate as mountain slope biomes, similar to [[Minecraft:meadow]]s and [[Minecraft:cherry grove]]s, but at higher altitudes and not as plateaus. They can also generate standalone on smaller peaks, sometimes measuring only a few blocks in size.

			They can generate in the coldest to medium temperature zones with lower humidity. They often border [[Minecraft:jagged peaks]] and [[Minecraft:frozen peaks]] as mountain biomes and meadows and cherry groves in valleys, and they are replaced by [[Minecraft:grove]]s in higher humidity. Snowy slopes can also border medium biomes when they generate on plateaus, like [[Minecraft:plains]], [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], and [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s.

			In the coldest temperature zones, snowy slopes extend to entire valleys and hills around mountains, replacing [[Minecraft:snowy plains]] and [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], and also bordering [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s and [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]]s with tall cliffs or [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s. Ice spikes and snowy plains can sometimes generate as thin strips replacing rivers in highland snowy slopes.

			Because snowy slopes are mountain biomes, they are almost guaranteed to have [[Minecraft:deep dark]] underneath, and commonly also [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]].

They use cold sunlight, which is slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.

'''Snowy slopes''' are snowy biomes that often generate on the sides of [[Minecraft:mountains]]. Unlike the [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], this biome is made out of [[Minecraft:stone]] covered with one or more layers of [[Minecraft:snow block]]s and occasional [[Minecraft:powder snow]] patches.

== Generation ==
Snowy slopes generate next to groves, most [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], [[Minecraft:plains]], [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], and [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s.

With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], snowy slopes use default environmental settings with a coolish color grading, making the biome appear colder blue.
