Minecraft:Snowy Taiga Mountains

Template:Removed feature Template:Unobtainable Template:Infobox biome The snowy taiga mountains or cold taiga mutated was a rare variant of the Minecraft:snowy taiga that no longer generates since Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and was removed in Java Edition.

Description

The very rare snowy taiga mountains featured much steeper terrain than the Minecraft:snowy taiga hills, but not as mountainous as the windswept hills. Similarly to the Minecraft:taiga mountains, this variant reached high elevations. The steep elevations made this biome difficult for survival. Structures didn't generate here. Although this was a snowy biome, Minecraft:rivers generated inside snowy taiga mountains were not replaced by Minecraft:frozen rivers.

Because snowy taigas were already very rare, this biome variant was the third rarest in the game, behind the Minecraft:modified badlands plateau and the Minecraft:modified jungle edge.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, snowy taiga mountains use a coolish humid volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Snowy taiga mountains 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.
