'''Snowy slopes''' are snowy [[Minecraft:biome]]s that often generate on the sides of [[Minecraft:mountains]]. Unlike the [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], this biome is made out of [[Minecraft:stone]] covered with one or more layers of [[Minecraft:snow block]]s and occasional [[Minecraft:powder snow]] patches.


== Generation ==
== Generation ==
Snowy slopes generate next to groves, most [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], [[Minecraft:plains]], [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], and [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s.
Snowy slopes usually generate as mountain slopes in cold to temperate climates where humidity is low. As terrain rises further, they often give way to [[Minecraft:jagged peaks]] and [[Minecraft:frozen peaks]].
 
On high slopes, they often border [[Minecraft:grove]]s if humidity rises, and [[Minecraft:cherry grove]]s or [[Minecraft:meadow]]s where terrain plateaus. Falling terrain tends to produce biomes such as [[Minecraft:plains]] and [[Minecraft:snowy plains]]. Rare biomes like [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s, and [[Minecraft:dappled forest]]s sometimes generate nearby.
 
In very low temperatures, snowy slopes can stretch into lower terrain and valleys, possibly covering thousands of blocks. In these areas, thin [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s, [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], or snowy plains may cut through the valleys.
 
As with other mountain biomes, the [[Minecraft:deep dark]] is very common deep underground. Higher up, [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] are common, especially far inland. [[Minecraft:Ice caves]] are relatively common beneath areas where temperatures are low and weirdness is high.{{upcoming|Fourth Drop 2026}}

Snowy slopes are similar to [[Minecraft:grove]]s except that no trees generate. It is a mostly barren biome covered in snow, multiple layers of snow blocks and [[Minecraft:strip]]s of powder snow, with steep sides to the north or east also having stone cliffs covered with [[Minecraft:snow layer]]s. [[Minecraft:Goat]]s spawn in this biome alongside [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s. This is the only mountain biome where [[Minecraft:igloo]]s can generate. Polar bears can spawn in this biome.{{only|be|short=1}}

Template:Infobox biome Snowy slopes are snowy Minecraft:biomes that often generate on the sides of Minecraft:mountains. Unlike the Minecraft:snowy plains, this biome is made out of Minecraft:stone covered with one or more layers of Minecraft:snow blocks and occasional Minecraft:powder snow patches.

Generation

Snowy slopes usually generate as mountain slopes in cold to temperate climates where humidity is low. As terrain rises further, they often give way to Minecraft:jagged peaks and Minecraft:frozen peaks.

On high slopes, they often border Minecraft:groves if humidity rises, and Minecraft:cherry groves or Minecraft:meadows where terrain plateaus. Falling terrain tends to produce biomes such as Minecraft:plains and Minecraft:snowy plains. Rare biomes like Minecraft:ice spikes, Minecraft:sunflower plains, Minecraft:flower forests, and Minecraft:dappled forests sometimes generate nearby.

In very low temperatures, snowy slopes can stretch into lower terrain and valleys, possibly covering thousands of blocks. In these areas, thin Minecraft:frozen rivers, Minecraft:ice spikes, or snowy plains may cut through the valleys.

As with other mountain biomes, the Minecraft:deep dark is very common deep underground. Higher up, Minecraft:dripstone caves are common, especially far inland. Minecraft:Ice caves are relatively common beneath areas where temperatures are low and weirdness is high.Template:Upcoming

Description

Snowy slopes are similar to Minecraft:groves except that no trees generate. It is a mostly barren biome covered in Minecraft:snow, multiple layers of Minecraft:snow blocks and Minecraft:strips of Minecraft:powder snow, with steep sides to the north or east also having Minecraft:stone cliffs covered with snow layers.

Minecraft:Infested stone generates underground as well as Minecraft:emerald ore.

Minecraft:Goats spawn in this biome alongside snowy Minecraft:rabbits and Minecraft:polar bears.Template:Only At nighttime, Minecraft:strays and Minecraft:frostbitesTemplate:Upcoming may also spawn alongside common hostile mobs.

This is the only mountain biome where Minecraft:igloos can generate. Minecraft:Pillager outposts also generate here.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, snowy slopes use default environmental settings with a coolish color grading, making the biome appear colder blue. They use cold sunlight, which is slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.
