The '''snowy plains''' or '''ice plains''' are snow-covered grassland [[Minecraft:biome]]s in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] that usually generate near other snowy biomes.

== Generation ==
== 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 taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:forest]]s and [[Minecraft:windswept gravelly hills]].  
Snowy plains generate where temperatures are very low and humidity is low to moderate. [[Minecraft:Frozen river]]s frequently meander through snowy plains, and they commonly border [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]]s, either directly or separated by [[Minecraft:snowy beach]]es or [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s.  


At higher elevations, snowy plains give way to [[Minecraft:snowy slopes]], [[Minecraft:jagged peaks]] and [[Minecraft:frozen peaks]], less frequently to [[Minecraft:grove]]s. Regular snowy plains are often separated from ice spikes or snowy taigas by [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s.
[[Minecraft:Snowy taiga]]s and [[Minecraft:ice spikes]] often border snowy plains, sometimes separated by frozen rivers. Where erosion is low, snowy plains are replaced by large areas of [[Minecraft:snowy slopes]] or [[Minecraft:grove]]s, which can climb further to [[Minecraft:jagged peaks]] or [[Minecraft:frozen peaks]]. A thin snowy plains biome may generate in the lowest part of such mountain valleys.


In coastal areas, snowy plains border [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]]s, with [[Minecraft:snowy beach]]es generating along the coastline.
[[Minecraft:Windswept gravelly hills]] and [[Minecraft:windswept hills]] can generate nearby when the erosion is high. [[Minecraft:Plains]] and [[Minecraft:forest]] biomes generate where the temperature rises.
 
[[Minecraft:Ice caves]],{{upcoming|Fourth Drop 2026}} [[Minecraft:sulfur caves]], and [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] are somewhat common beneath snowy plains. The [[Minecraft:deep dark]] may generate beneath elevated terrain or near slope biomes.


== Description ==
== Description ==
Snowy plains are plains covered with [[Minecraft:snow layer]]s, which are often stacked {{in|BE}}. [[Minecraft:Aquifers]] and [[Minecraft:spring]]s 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 themselves shortly after. [[Minecraft:Lava lake]]s and lava [[Minecraft:spring]]s that generate within the snowy plains biomes melt the snow layers around them. Polar bears, rabbits, zombie horses, and strays spawn here; with the latter two being hostile mobs, making this biome and its variants slightly harder to survive in, as zombie horses spawn with a [[Minecraft:zombie]] rider wielding a [[Minecraft:spear]], while strays are a variant of the [[Minecraft:skeleton]] that shoot arrows of [[Minecraft:Slowness]].
Snowy plains are plains covered with [[Minecraft:snow]] layers, which are often stacked {{in|BE}} due to a higher snow accumulation. [[Minecraft:Aquifers]] and [[Minecraft:spring]]s 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 lake]]s and lava springs that generate within the snowy plains biomes melt the snow layers around them.  


Survival in snowy plains biomes is quite difficult due to the sparseness of the biome and the lack of [[Minecraft:animal]]s; only polar bears and [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s may naturally spawn here, though [[Minecraft:cow]]s, [[Minecraft:sheep]], [[Minecraft:pig]]s and [[Minecraft:horse]]s may spawn as part of villages. Infrequent spruce trees are the only natural source of wood in the regular snowy plains biome and maintaining [[Minecraft:water]] sources, for farming [[Minecraft:crops]] for example, can be tough due to water in this biome freezing into [[Minecraft:ice]], if it is not protected by light or a roof. Strays often spawn in place of skeletons which can make dealing with [[Minecraft:hostile mob]]s even more difficult due to their Slowness arrows, and aggravating polar bears, or even coming near one if accompanied by cubs, can lead to fatal consequences if the player is unprepared. The ice spikes variety can be valuable to late-game [[Minecraft:player]]s due to the occurrence of ice spikes that can be used for a base or as a source of packed ice [[Minecraft:block]]s.
[[Minecraft:Polar bear]]s and [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s are the only passive mobs spawning here. At nighttime or during thunderstorms, in ''Bedrock Edition'', no other hostile mobs than [[Minecraft:frostbite]]s,{{upcoming|Fourth Drop 2026}} [[Minecraft:skeleton]]s, and their cold [[Minecraft:stray]] variants can spawn here. Rarely, [[Minecraft:zombie horsemen]] can also spawn, as well as other hostile mobs {{in|je}}.
 
[[Minecraft:Igloo]]s are typical structures in snowy plains. [[Minecraft:Village]]s generate commonly, with structures made of [[Minecraft:Spruce Planks|spruce]] wood, and [[Minecraft:pillager outpost]]s 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.

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 where temperatures are very low and humidity is low to moderate. Minecraft:Frozen rivers frequently meander through snowy plains, and they commonly border Minecraft:frozen oceans, either directly or separated by Minecraft:snowy beaches or Minecraft:stony shores.

Minecraft:Snowy taigas and Minecraft:ice spikes often border snowy plains, sometimes separated by frozen rivers. Where erosion is low, snowy plains are replaced by large areas of Minecraft:snowy slopes or Minecraft:groves, which can climb further to Minecraft:jagged peaks or Minecraft:frozen peaks. A thin snowy plains biome may generate in the lowest part of such mountain valleys.

Minecraft:Windswept gravelly hills and Minecraft:windswept hills can generate nearby when the erosion is high. Minecraft:Plains and Minecraft:forest biomes generate where the temperature rises.

Minecraft:Ice caves,Template:Upcoming Minecraft:sulfur caves, and Minecraft:dripstone caves are somewhat common beneath snowy plains. The Minecraft:deep dark may generate beneath elevated terrain or near slope biomes.

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 or during thunderstorms, in Bedrock Edition, no other hostile mobs than Minecraft:frostbites,Template:Upcoming 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.
