	== Generation ==		== Generation ==
	Snowy ~~taiga biomes~~ generate at ~~the coldest temperature zones, in medium~~ to high ~~humidity~~. ~~They~~ commonly border ~~[[Minecraft:snowy plains]]~~ and are often separated ~~from them~~ by [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s. ~~In higher humidity~~, ~~as well as in higher temperature zones~~, ~~they are replaced by warmer~~ [[Minecraft:~~taiga~~]]~~s without snow~~.		Snowy taigas generate at very low temperatures where humidity is moderate to high. Snowy plains commonly border them, especially where humidity decreases, and the two are often separated by a [[Minecraft:frozen river]]. Higher temperatures or humidity may cause regular [[Minecraft:taiga]]s to generate instead. [[Minecraft:Forest]]s, [[Minecraft:windswept forest]]s, and [[Minecraft:windswept hills]] may border snowy taigas.

	~~Because~~ snowy taigas ~~generate in the frozen temperature zone, they border~~ [[Minecraft:~~snowy beach~~]]~~es and~~ [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]]s~~, although~~ [[Minecraft:~~stony shore~~]]~~s can also generate. Near~~ [[Minecraft:~~mountains]], snowy taigas are widely replaced by [[Minecraft:grove~~]]~~s, although they can still generate as narrow river valleys~~.		As erosion lowers near mountainous areas, snowy taigas can transition into large areas of [[Minecraft:grove]]s, where a snowy taiga sometimes generates as thin biome in the valleys. Near the coast, snowy taigas border [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]]s either directly or separated by a [[Minecraft:snowy beach]] or [[Minecraft:stony shore]].

	~~Because of their slightly high humidity,~~ [[Minecraft:~~lush~~ caves]] ~~can possibly generate under snowy taigas, although, when the snowy taiga generate far inland,~~ [[Minecraft:~~dripstone~~ caves]] may generate ~~under the snowy taiga instead~~.		[[Minecraft:Lush caves]] and [[Minecraft:ice caves]]{{upcoming\|Fourth Drop 2026}} are somewhat common under snowy taigas, though all cave biomes may generate.

[[Minecraft:Abandoned camp]]s sometimes generate in snowy taigas.~~{{upcoming\|Wilderness Bound}}~~		[[Minecraft:Igloo]]s and [[Minecraft:trail ruins]] may generate here, as well as [[Minecraft:village]]s and [[Minecraft:pillager outpost]]s {{in\|bedrock}} only. Villages generated here use the same architecture as normal taiga villages, but all of the roofs are covered by stacked snow. The water in village farms is frozen, leading to the crops uprooting. [[Minecraft:Villager]]s wear the snowy plains outfit. [[Minecraft:Abandoned camp]]s sometimes generate in snowy taigas.

	In ''Bedrock Edition'' the water has a unique tone, and during [[Minecraft:snowfall]] snow layers build up and the [[Minecraft:leaves]] of the trees become white.
