Snowy slopes generate as mountain slope biomes, similar to [[Minecraft:meadow]]s and [[Minecraft:cherry grove]]s, but at higher altitudes and not as plateaus. They can also generate standalone on smaller peaks, sometimes measuring only a few blocks in size.
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]].


They can generate in the coldest to medium temperature zones with lower humidity. They often border [[Minecraft:jagged peaks]] and [[Minecraft:frozen peaks]] as mountain biomes and meadows and cherry groves in valleys, and they are replaced by [[Minecraft:grove]]s in higher humidity. Snowy slopes can also border medium biomes when they generate on plateaus, like [[Minecraft:plains]], [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], and [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s.
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 the coldest temperature zones, snowy slopes extend to entire valleys and hills around mountains, replacing [[Minecraft:snowy plains]] and [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], and also bordering [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s and [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]]s with tall cliffs or [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s. Ice spikes and snowy plains can sometimes generate as thin strips replacing rivers in highland snowy slopes.
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.


Because snowy slopes are mountain biomes, they are almost guaranteed to have [[Minecraft:deep dark]] underneath, and commonly also [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]].
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}}

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.
