Minecraft:Meadow

Template:Infobox biome The meadow is an elevated grassy Minecraft:mountain slope and plateau Minecraft:biome filled with patches of Minecraft:flowers, turquoise-green Minecraft:grass and Minecraft:tall grass, where Minecraft:sheep, Minecraft:donkeys, and Minecraft:rabbits spawn.

Generation

Meadows generate elevated in cool to temperate inland regions. They take several forms, including thin strips on mountain slopes, massive standalone plateaus, and valleys inside mountain rings.

Toward higher elevations, Minecraft:snowy slopes or Minecraft:groves often generate between a meadow and high peaks, though meadows can also border Minecraft:jagged peaks or Minecraft:frozen peaks directly. As terrain lowers, Minecraft:plains, taigas, Minecraft:forests, Minecraft:birch forests, or Minecraft:flower forests tend to surround meadows. Minecraft:Cherry groves can also border meadows, especially where humidity is low, while Minecraft:pale gardens often do so where humidity is high.

Minecraft:Dripstone caves and the Minecraft:deep dark often generate beneath meadows, while Minecraft:lush caves are somewhat less common.

Description

The meadow is a high altitude counterpart to the Minecraft:plains biome. It is covered by most Minecraft:flowers controlled by a gradient, meaning that it can continue for hundreds of blocks with the same type of flower. In addition to this, the ground is covered by lots of Minecraft:short grass and Minecraft:wildflowers, along with some Minecraft:tall grass.

Rarely, a lone Minecraft:oak or Minecraft:birch tree of any size can generate and always has a Minecraft:bee nest. Both Minecraft:pillager outposts and Minecraft:plains villages can generate in this biome, making this the only mountain biome where villages can generate. Template:IN, unlike most Minecraft:Overworld biomes, Minecraft:sugar canes and Minecraft:pumpkin patches cannot generate here. Minecraft:Abandoned camps sometimes generate in meadows.

Just like other mountain biomes, Minecraft:emerald ores can be found in meadows, especially at higher altitudes, and both coal and Minecraft:iron ores are commonly found here. Minecraft:Infested block blobs also naturally generate in meadows.

Template:IN, meadows are cold and allow Minecraft:snowfall above Y=200±8, however, this never occurs on natural terrain.

The only passive mobs that can spawn here are Minecraft:rabbits, Minecraft:sheep, and occasionally Minecraft:donkeys.
