Minecraft:Windswept Savanna: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:21, 11 May 2026

Template:Infobox biome The windswept savanna or savanna mutated is a shattered and mountainous variant of the Minecraft:savanna that generates in areas with high erosion close to Minecraft:swamps and other Minecraft:windswept biomes. The terrain consists of huge cliffs and floating islands covered with Minecraft:coarse dirt, Minecraft:stone, and savanna vegetation.

Generation

The rare windswept savanna variant generates in areas with high erosion and Minecraft:weirdness, as well as medium Minecraft:continentalness and temperate to high temperatures. It is full of extremely steep mountains, enormous overhangs, Minecraft:floating islands, and huge waterfalls and lavafalls, with higher and rougher terrain than the windswept hills biome, and can peak at Y=256. Large and deep lakes often form on the bases of the mountains.

Windswept savanna biomes can often generate standalone bordering other Minecraft:biomes that aren't just the default savanna, with these biomes usually being temperate or warm; humid or dry. They commonly surround Minecraft:swamps or Minecraft:mangrove swamps and border colder Minecraft:windswept hills. Windswept savannnas have a tendency to generate close to the coast or on small islands.

Despite being a highland biome, the Minecraft:deep dark doesn’t generate under windswept savannas.

Description

The terrain is covered with a mixture of Minecraft:grass block patches and Minecraft:coarse dirt patches, with a large amount of exposed Minecraft:stones. Unlike regular savannas, Minecraft:tall grass, Minecraft:villages and Minecraft:pillager outposts cannot generate in this biome.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Farm animals spawn as warm variants in this biome. Minecraft:Armadillos, Minecraft:horses and Minecraft:donkeys still appear like in regular savannas, as do hostile Minecraft:zombie horsemen during the Minecraft:nighttime. In Minecraft:Bedrock Edition, Minecraft:llamas also live here.

The giant overhangs often reduce skylight on the terrain similar to Minecraft:caves, allowing hostile mobs to spawn at day.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, windswept savannas use warmish color grading that tints the environment more orange/yellow. The night sky is slightly brighter and moonlight appears more vibrant blue.

Windswept savannas can't generate in regions with cold or snowy biomes which means that these biomes can be found in extreme terrain. Despite being a highland biome, the [[Minecraft:deep dark]] doesn’t generate under windswept savanna.

-The steep generated mountains make this variant almost unsuitable for shelter and even just exploring quite hazardous, due to the sharp cliffs often risking fatal fall damage if not above [[Minecraft:water]]. Additionally, the giant overhangs often reduce skylight on the terrain below them, not only enough to spawn [[Minecraft:hostile mobs]] in daylight, but to produce complete darkness similar to [[Minecraft:Cave|caves]], further adding to the difficulty of this biome.
