Minecraft:Desert Lakes

Template:Removed featureTemplate:Unobtainable Template:Infobox biome The desert lakes or desert mutated were a rare variant of Minecraft:deserts that no longer generate since Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and were removed in Java Edition.

Description

The desert lakes featured slightly rougher and hillier terrain than the base desert biome, though not as much as the Minecraft:desert hills. This made them more likely to have oases of Minecraft:water across its landscape. These lakes were often surrounded by large amounts of Minecraft:sugar cane. Like regular deserts, the ground was completely covered with sand and no rain occurred here. Minecraft:Cacti, Minecraft:dead bushes, Minecraft:fossils, and Minecraft:desert wells generated here, but Minecraft:villages and Minecraft:desert pyramids did not.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, desert lakes re-use desert atmospherics, the sky is tinted turquoise-green at daytime and much brighter during the night. Moonlight is much more vibrant blue, and the warm color grading temperature tints everything yellow/orange.
