The '''wooded badlands''' or '''mesa plateau stone''' is a more humid variant of the [[Minecraft:badlands]] covered by [[Minecraft:oak trees]], [[Minecraft:grass blocks]], and [[Minecraft:Coarse Dirt|coarse dirt]].<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
Wooded badlands generate groves of trees at high [[Minecraft:altitude]]s, and therefore are the forest variant of the badlands. The uppermost layers of terrain consist of both [[Minecraft:grass block|grass blocks]] and [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]], with [[Minecraft:oak]] trees and [[Minecraft:grass]] growing on them, the former always appearing as small variants. [[Minecraft:Leaf Litter|Leaf litter]] and [[Minecraft:dead bushes]] commonly cover the ground under the trees. In wooded badlands, the grass and oak leaves take on a dull greenish-brown color darker than that of the [[Minecraft:savanna]] biome, giving it a droughted and weathered appearance. <br />
<br />
This variant is a rare source of wood in the otherwise barren badlands. The coarse dirt and grass layer on top begins generating above Y=97. Beneath, wooded badlands generate similar to regular badlands, with [[Minecraft:Red Sand|red sand]], [[Minecraft:Red Sandstone|red sandstone]], [[Minecraft:Stained Terracotta|stained terracotta]], [[Minecraft:Dead Bush|dead bushes]] and [[Minecraft:Cactus|cacti]] making up the landscape. Cacti might bloom with a single [[Minecraft:Cactus Flower|cactus flower]] on top. Additionally, [[Minecraft:Gold Ore|gold ore]] has a higher chance of generating, like in other badlands biomes, and mineshafts made of dark oak planks generate much more elevated and exposed than regular mineshafts. The [[Minecraft:Deep Dark|deep dark]] biome can spawn under this biome, although not as common as beneath [[Minecraft:mountains]] and plateaus.<br />
<br />
Despite being more lush, wooded badlands still count as arid biomes and never experience [[Minecraft:Rain|rainfall]] unless divided by a [[Minecraft:river]], in which case rain appears in the river biome only.<br />
<br />
[[Minecraft:Armadillo|Armadillos]] live in wooded badlands, and the warm variants of [[Minecraft:Animal|farm animals]] can spawn on top of the wooded plateaus. [[Minecraft:Wolf|Striped wolves]] exclusively spawn in here. <br />
<br />
With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], wooded badlands have unique atmospherics, the sky is tinted turquoise-green at daytime and much brighter during the night, while the daytime horizon is tinted brown. Moonlight is more vibrant blue, and the warm color grading tints the environment more yellow, although color saturation is slightly lower.<br />
<br />
Wooded badlands generate at higher [[Minecraft:humidity]] values compared to the default badlands, which means that they can often be found bordering [[Minecraft:jungle]]s. Wooded badlands also border [[Minecraft:Desert|deserts]], [[Minecraft:badlands]], [[Minecraft:Forest|forests]], and [[Minecraft:plains]], and they usually do not border [[Minecraft:Ocean|oceans]], but they can also generate by the ocean in areas with mountain peaks. They can also generate in [[Minecraft:Mountains|mountain]] peaks, where they can elevate up to Y=256 and rarely border [[Minecraft:Stony Peaks|stony peaks]]. Because of this, the wooded badlands is the highest biome with trees, that may peak at Y=263.<br />
<br />
Due to their high humidity values, wooded badlands almost always have [[Minecraft:lush caves]] beneath them, although [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] may generate instead when they are far inland. Due to their low erosion value, wooded badlands have a high chance to generate the [[Minecraft:Deep Dark|deep dark]] beneath them.<br />
