Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox biome Beaches are common coastal Minecraft:biomes that serve as transition biomes from the mainland to an Minecraft:ocean. Beaches are covered entirely with Minecraft:sand and are the main source of Minecraft:turtles and Minecraft:buried treasure.

Generation

Beaches generate on the coast bordering non-deep Minecraft:ocean biomes and most flatland biomes. Rarely, a beach can generate completely landlocked.

Depending on the surrounding terrain, beaches can be wide and hilly, short and flat, or more rarely, jagged with tall cliffs. Beaches are replaced by Minecraft:stony shores at lower erosion values, or Minecraft:snowy beaches in frozen biomes. The coast may not always have a beach biome; land biomes can also directly border oceans, sometimes with tall cliffs.

Cave biomes are rare beneath beaches, but Minecraft:lush caves can generate if humidity is high.

Description

The beach biome consists entirely of Minecraft:sand with Minecraft:sandstone underneath, like Minecraft:deserts, but without any vegetation. Beach biomes, along with their sand, commonly continue underwater for a few blocks.

Minecraft:Buried treasures often generate buried under the sand, and Minecraft:shipwrecks occasionally generate stranded on beaches. Minecraft:Turtles may spawn here, but other animals cannot.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, beaches use a coolish humid volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Beaches have default atmospherics, lighting, and color grading like temperate biomes.
