[[Minecraft:Sweet berry bush]]es generate, but are less common compared to regular taiga. The main distinction are the [[Minecraft:snow|snow layer]]s that cover almost the entire landscape, save for the ground protected by the leaves of spruce trees. The gelid temperature of the snowy taiga means that any exposed [[Minecraft:water]] freezes into [[Minecraft:ice]], though lakes that generate within the taiga are often partially protected by the leaves of the trees, meaning lakes aren't usually completely frozen. | [[Minecraft:Sweet berry bush]]es generate, but are less common compared to regular taiga.

Template:Infobox biome A snowy taiga or cold taiga is an icy Minecraft:biome that comprises a snow-covered forest of pine and spruce Minecraft:trees, Minecraft:ferns and large ferns, and Minecraft:sweet berry bushes, usually generating adjacent to or within Minecraft:snowy plains.
Generation
Snowy taiga biomes generate at the coldest temperature zones, in medium to high humidity. They commonly border Minecraft:snowy plains and are often separated from them by Minecraft:frozen rivers. In higher humidity, as well as in higher temperature zones, they are replaced by warmer Minecraft:taigas without snow.
Because snowy taigas generate in the frozen temperature zone, they border Minecraft:snowy beaches and Minecraft:frozen oceans, although Minecraft:stony shores can also generate. Near Minecraft:mountains, snowy taigas are widely replaced by Minecraft:groves, although they can still generate as narrow river valleys.
Because of their slightly high humidity, Minecraft:lush caves can possibly generate under snowy taigas, although, when the snowy taiga generate far inland, Minecraft:dripstone caves may generate under the snowy taiga instead.
Description
Snowy taigas are similar to regular Minecraft:taigas, featuring large numbers of Minecraft:spruce trees, Minecraft:ferns, and Minecraft:rabbits. Minecraft:Animals in this biome spawn with their cold variants, Minecraft:foxes spawn as snow foxes, and Minecraft:wolves use a unique ashen variant.
Minecraft:Sweet berry bushes generate, but are less common compared to regular taiga. The main distinction are the snow layers that cover almost the entire landscape, save for the ground protected by the leaves of spruce trees. The gelid temperature of the snowy taiga means that any exposed Minecraft:water freezes into Minecraft:ice, though lakes that generate within the taiga are often partially protected by the leaves of the trees, meaning lakes aren't usually completely frozen.
Minecraft:Igloos and Minecraft:trail ruins may generate here, as well as Minecraft:villages and Minecraft:pillager outposts Template:In only. Villages generated here use the same architecture as normal taiga villages, but all of the roofs are covered by stacked snow. The water in village farms is frozen, leading to the crops uprooting. Minecraft:Villagers wear the snowy plains outfit. Minecraft:Abandoned camps sometimes generate in snowy taigas.Template:Upcoming
In Bedrock Edition the water has a unique tone, and during Minecraft:snowfall snow layers build up and the Minecraft:leaves of the trees become white.
With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, snowy taigas use a coolish humid volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Snowy taigas have strong cold color grading which tints the environment with an icy blue color, and cold sunlight which appears slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.
