A '''snowy beach''' or '''cold beach''' is a snowy variant of the [[Minecraft:beach]] biome that replaces it in snowy regions.
A '''snowy beach''' or '''cold beach''' is a snowy variant of the [[Minecraft:beach]] biome that replaces it in frozen regions.


== Generation ==
== Generation ==
A snowy beach often generates around [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, or any of their variants. Because [[Minecraft:taiga]] biomes have the ability to generate in the same temperature as [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], and [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, snowy beaches can sometimes generate next to taiga biomes, resulting in incorrect, weird, albeit intentional terrain generation.<ref>{{bug|MC-239444}}</ref>
Snowy beaches replace beaches in the coldest temperature zones, where they frequently border [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], and regular [[Minecraft:taiga]]s. Snowy beaches usually separate land from the [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]] biome, though they can occasionally generate completely landlocked. Terrain is generally flat and smooth, but can generate as wide, rugged, or even mountainous depending on the surrounding terrain.
 
In areas of low erosion, snowy beaches are replaced by [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s. Warmer regions generate as regular beaches instead. Sometimes, land biomes can directly border frozen oceans without any snowy beach, occasionally featuring tall cliffs.
 
[[Minecraft:Ice caves]]{{upcoming|Fourth Drop 2026}} are common below snowy beaches. Like regular beaches, [[Minecraft:lush cave]]s sometimes generate if humidity is high, while [[Minecraft:sulfur cave]]s are rare.


== Description ==
== Description ==
Snowy beaches are the same as regular beaches terrain-wise, being made mostly of sand, though their landscape is covered entirely in [[Minecraft:Snow|snow layers]]. The water surrounding snowy beaches freezes into [[Minecraft:ice]] due to the cold temperatures and these beaches often lead to [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]]s.
Snowy beaches are the same as regular beaches terrain-wise, being made mostly of sand with sandstone underneath. The temperature in snowy beaches is low enough to allow [[Minecraft:snowfall]], covering the sand in [[Minecraft:snow]] and freezing the water around.


Turtles cannot spawn here, but in ''Bedrock Edition'' [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s can. Shipwrecks and buried treasure may still generate in this beach variant.

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

Template:Infobox biome A snowy beach or cold beach is a snowy variant of the Minecraft:beach biome that replaces it in frozen regions.

Generation

Snowy beaches replace beaches in the coldest temperature zones, where they frequently border Minecraft:snowy plains, Minecraft:snowy taigas, Minecraft:ice spikes, and regular Minecraft:taigas. Snowy beaches usually separate land from the Minecraft:frozen ocean biome, though they can occasionally generate completely landlocked. Terrain is generally flat and smooth, but can generate as wide, rugged, or even mountainous depending on the surrounding terrain.

In areas of low erosion, snowy beaches are replaced by Minecraft:stony shores. Warmer regions generate as regular beaches instead. Sometimes, land biomes can directly border frozen oceans without any snowy beach, occasionally featuring tall cliffs.

Minecraft:Ice cavesTemplate:Upcoming are common below snowy beaches. Like regular beaches, Minecraft:lush caves sometimes generate if humidity is high, while Minecraft:sulfur caves are rare.

Description

Snowy beaches are the same as regular beaches terrain-wise, being made mostly of sand with sandstone underneath. The temperature in snowy beaches is low enough to allow Minecraft:snowfall, covering the sand in Minecraft:snow and freezing the water around.

Turtles cannot spawn here, but Minecraft:rabbits can Template:In. Shipwrecks and buried treasure may still generate in this beach variant.

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