Beaches don't have many resources of their own. [[Minecraft:Buried treasure]]s often generate buried under most beaches, and [[Minecraft:shipwreck]]s occasionally generate on beaches. [[Minecraft:Turtle]]s may spawn on regular beaches, and along with rabbits in snowy beaches {{in|bedrock}}, they are the only [[Minecraft:passive mob]]s that can spawn in beach biomes, although other passive mobs can wander into beaches from surrounding biomes. [[Minecraft:Drowned]] often spawn in the water surrounding beaches. [[Minecraft:Ocean ruins]] generated in the ocean nearby may spread onto beaches, causing some ruins to form on land.
The beach biome consists entirely of [[Minecraft:sand]] with [[Minecraft:sandstone]] underneath, like [[Minecraft:desert]]s, but without any vegetation. Beach biomes, along with their sand, commonly continue [[Minecraft:Water|underwater]] for a few blocks.


Beaches are composed of mostly [[Minecraft:sand]], with some [[Minecraft:gravel]], [[Minecraft:dirt]], and [[Minecraft:clay]] patches under the [[Minecraft:water]], similarly to [[Minecraft:river]]s. Like the sand in [[Minecraft:desert]]s, [[Minecraft:sandstone]] generates underneath it. Beach terrain is usually a smooth descent into the water, though it can vary in steepness and width.  
[[Minecraft:Buried treasure]]s often generate buried under the sand, and [[Minecraft:shipwreck]]s occasionally generate stranded on beaches. [[Minecraft:Turtle]]s may spawn here, but other animals cannot.


With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], beaches use a coolish humid [[Minecraft:Fog#Volumetric fog|volumetric fog]] setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Beaches have default atmospherics, lighting, and color grading like temperate biomes.

Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox biome Beaches are common coastal Minecraft:biomes that serve as transition biomes from the mainland to an Minecraft:ocean. Beaches are covered entirely with Minecraft:sand and are the main source of Minecraft:turtles and Minecraft:buried treasures.

Generation

Beaches generate on the coast bordering non-deep Minecraft:oceans and most flatland biomes. Rarely, a beach generates completely land-locked.

Depending on the surrounding terrain, beaches can be wide and hilly, short and flat, or jagged with tall cliffs. Beaches are replaced by Minecraft:stony shores near Minecraft:mountains, or Minecraft:snowy beaches in frozen biomes. The coast may not always have a beach biome; land biomes can also directly border oceans, sometimes with tall cliffs.

Description

The beach biome consists entirely of Minecraft:sand with Minecraft:sandstone underneath, like Minecraft:deserts, but without any vegetation. Beach biomes, along with their sand, commonly continue underwater for a few blocks.

Minecraft:Buried treasures often generate buried under the sand, and Minecraft:shipwrecks occasionally generate stranded on beaches. Minecraft:Turtles may spawn here, but other animals cannot.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, beaches use a coolish humid volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Beaches have default atmospherics, lighting, and color grading like temperate biomes.
