Minecraft:Snowy Plains

Template:Infobox biome The snowy plains or ice plains are Minecraft:snow-covered grassland Minecraft:biomes in the Minecraft:Overworld that usually generate near other snowy biomes.

Generation

Snowy plains generate in areas with very low temperature and low to medium humidity, more frequently at negative weirdness. They can border Minecraft:plains, Minecraft:snowy taigas, Minecraft:ice spikes, Minecraft:forests and Minecraft:windswept gravelly hills.

At higher elevations, snowy plains give way to Minecraft:snowy slopes, Minecraft:jagged peaks and Minecraft:frozen peaks, less frequently to Minecraft:groves. Regular snowy plains are often separated from ice spikes or snowy taigas by Minecraft:frozen rivers.

In coastal areas, snowy plains border Minecraft:frozen oceans, with Minecraft:snowy beaches or Minecraft:stony shores generating along the coastline.

Description

Snowy plains are plains covered with Minecraft:snow layers, which are often stacked Template:In due to a higher snow accumulation. Minecraft:Aquifers and Minecraft:springs freeze over soon after generation due to the temperature if not exposed to light; thus, Minecraft:sugar cane that generates alongside water sources often uproot itself shortly after. Minecraft:Lava lakes and lava springs that generate within the snowy plains biomes melt the snow layers around them.

Minecraft:Polar bears and Minecraft:rabbits are the only passive mobs spawning here. At nighttime, in Bedrock Edition, no other hostile mobs than Minecraft:skeletons, and their cold Minecraft:stray variants can spawn here. Rarely, Minecraft:zombie horsemen can also spawn, as well as other hostile mobs Template:In.

Minecraft:Igloos are typical structures in snowy plains. Minecraft:Villages generate commonly, with structures made of spruce wood, and Minecraft:pillager outposts can also be found.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, snowy plains use default atmospherics with a strong cold color grading, making the biome appear icy blue. They have cold sunlight, which appears slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.
