As with other mountain biomes, the [[Minecraft:deep dark]] is very common deep underground. Higher up, [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] are common, especially far inland. [[Minecraft:Ice caves]] are relatively common beneath areas where temperatures are low and weirdness is high.{{upcoming\|Fourth Drop 2026}}

	== Generation ==		== Generation ==
	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~~.		Snowy slopes usually generate as mountain slopes in cold to temperate climates where humidity is low. As terrain rises further, they often give way to [[Minecraft:jagged peaks]] and [[Minecraft:frozen peaks]].

	~~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.		On high slopes, they often border [[Minecraft:grove]]s if humidity rises, and [[Minecraft:cherry grove]]s or [[Minecraft:meadow]]s where terrain plateaus. Falling terrain tends to produce biomes such as [[Minecraft:plains]] and [[Minecraft:snowy plains]]. Rare biomes like [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s, and [[Minecraft:dappled forest]]s sometimes generate nearby.

	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~~.		In very low temperatures, snowy slopes can stretch into lower terrain and valleys, possibly covering thousands of blocks. In these areas, thin [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s, [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], or snowy plains may cut through the valleys.

	~~Because snowy slopes are~~ mountain biomes, ~~they are almost guaranteed to have~~ [[Minecraft:deep dark]] ~~underneath~~, ~~and commonly also~~ [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]].		As with other mountain biomes, the [[Minecraft:deep dark]] is very common deep underground. Higher up, [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] are common, especially far inland.
