A stony shore replaces normal beaches in areas with mountainous terrain at low [[Minecraft:Biome#Erosion\|erosion]] values. This often (but not necessarily) occurs near [[Minecraft:mountains]] or plateau biomes. Stony shores can generate in any temperature zone, meaning that they create a high contrast with snowy or dry biomes.

			Because of their low erosion values, stony shores generate close to [[Minecraft:deep dark]]. Stony shores are not to be confused with the oceanic [[Minecraft:cliff]]s that generate at higher continentalness and weirdness.

A '''stony shore''' or '''stone beach''' is a coastal [[Minecraft:biome]] that is almost entirely made of [[Minecraft:stone]] and [[Minecraft:gravel]]. Stony shores replace [[Minecraft:beach]] biomes in some mountainous areas.

== Generation ==
A stony shore replaces normal beaches in areas with mountainous terrain at low [[Minecraft:Biome#Erosion|erosion]] values.

== Description ==
Stony shores are made entirely of [[Minecraft:stone]], with long [[Minecraft:Strip|strips]] of [[Minecraft:gravel]]. They are usually a steep drop into the water they border. Stony shores may generate at high enough elevations to have snow on their peaks (above Y=120±8), even when bordering warm biomes.<ref>{{bug|MC-240697||It snows in the stony shore biomes from Y {{=}} 118 and above}}</ref> Water and lava [[Minecraft:Spring|springs]] frequently generate on the sides of stony shores. {{IN|bedrock}}, buried treasure can sometimes generate at high altitudes, and can even generate at Y=90; {{IN|java}}, it doesn't generate here.<ref>{{bug|MC-127290}}</ref>

The steep drops into the ocean below makes this variant dangerous, especially if the player is unaware of their surroundings.
