Minecraft:Snowy Beach: Difference between revisions

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 Minecraft:beaches in the coldest temperature zones, where they may border Minecraft:snowy plains, Minecraft:ice spikes, Minecraft:snowy taigas, and regular Minecraft:taigas. Minecraft:Frozen rivers can cut through snowy beaches, and icebergs from the Minecraft:frozen ocean begin generating close to the land.

Not every snowy biome is separated from the frozen ocean by a snowy beach. Near Minecraft:mountains, Minecraft:stony shores often replace snowy beaches, even though they are not as cold.

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 in Bedrock Edition Minecraft:rabbits 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.

 == 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>

 == 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.

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